Please provide the following relevant information so someone can help including:


Printer Model – done
Operating System of computer -
Detailed Problem Description including all network devices (extenders, switches)-
Connection Method - USB, Hardwired LAN, Wireless, Wireless Direct? -
Make and model number of router(s) and modem? -
Error messages - on printer screen and/or computer, any blinking light patterns? –
Is the printer plugged directly into the wall outlet?  Do not use any UPS, power strip or surge protector.  Yes this WILL cause the printer to drop offline and print strangely.
Do you think the printer is going to sleep and can’t wake up? -
If wireless, when the problem occurs, what is the status of Blue Wireless light on the printer, on, off or blinking? –

Power off printer and router.  Power on router and wait 3 mins, power on printer.  Does it connect to the router now?  Do you have a valid IP address?

HP  Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

MacOS Sierra 10.12.5

 

Connected Wirelessly

Router: ZyXEL This router is connected via an adsl line.

Printer is connected directly to my wall socket.

I have tried switching both my printer and router off and on again with no success

 

On my printer it shows that printer is connected to my router wirelessly.

But when I try and print from my laptop the message comes up as "Printer not connected" "Looking for printer"

 

Kind Regards

Try this first.

 

Disable IPv6 in the printer if it is enable.   Set router to channel 1.  Dual band routers have to have different SSIDs for the 2.4 and 5.0 bands. 

 

Status now?
