HP ENVY 4520
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

My printer is connected to wifi just fine, but every time I go to print something, it just sits in the que and does nothing.  But as soon as I get up and turn the printer off, then back on, then it will start printing.  I can't do that every time of course..!!  Help please 🙂  Thank you!!

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP ENVY 4520 printer and you are unable to print on wireless connection.

 

However, I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution,

  • Are you getting any error message while printing wireless?

Meanwhile:

  • Use HP Print and Scan Doctor to check connectivity.
  • Set the default printer and unpause printing.
  • Reset the printer and check the connection status.
  • Make sure the correct port is selected.
  • Update the printer firmware.

Click here and refer the document to perform the above steps.

(Note: Though the title of the printer is different, these steps should fix the issue)

 

Let me know if that works.

Cheers.

@sandytechy20     I am not getting an error message and I tried every step in that document.  It is still not printing.  I just looked again and noticed that now my printer is greyed out with a green check mark under Devices and Printers in the control panel.

If the printer has green check mark,  then it shows the printer is properly installed.

 

Follow the below steps to fix this issue.

 

  • Delete job files and restart.
