Can HP Envy 4527 work connected by ethernet?

[dupontmorand]

I have this issue with my HP Envy 4527 printer.

The wifi connection seldom works anymore, so I've resorted to using a USB cable, which work fine, except that Instant Ink only works with wifi & the printer is now threatening to stop printing...

Couldn't find an Ethernet port on the printer anyway.

Hi @dupontmorand

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

HP ENVY 4527 All-in-One Printer does not have the Ethernet port. 

What seems to be the issue with the Wi-Fi connection? Are you getting any error message? I'd suggest try restoring the network settings to default - 

Step 1 Network Restore -
On the printer's control panel - 
1) Touch the "Wireless icon". 
2) Touch the "Settings" icon. 
3) Select "Restore Network Settings". 
4) Select "Yes". 

Step 2 Reboot the devices -
1) Turn off the Router, Printer, and the computer. 
2) Wait for 60 seconds. 
3) Turn on the Router first and wait for all the lights to stabilize. 
4) Turn on the printer and allow it to configure itself. 
5) Turn on the computer.

Step 3 Run Wireless Wizard - 
On the printer's control panel, go to the Network menu or touch the wireless icon and then go to settings. Select Wireless Setup Wizard. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
