Hi @BrianW83,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Hi, I understand that your HP 4520 shows as available but isn't connecting properly. Here are some steps to fix this issue:

1. Restart Everything

• Restart your printer, PC, and router to refresh the connection.
• If using USB, unplug and reconnect it.

2. Check Printer Status

• On Windows: Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners, select your HP 4520, and make sure it's set as default.
• On Mac: System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, check if the printer is selected correctly.

3. Remove and Reinstall the Printer

Windows:

1. Go to Devices & Printers
2. Remove the HP 4520
3. Reinstall it using HP Smart or HP Print & Scan Doctor

Mac:

1. Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners
2. Remove the HP 4520 and re-add it

4. Reset Network Settings (If Wireless)

• Press and hold the Wireless & Cancel buttons on the printer for 5 seconds to reset the network.
• Reconnect using HP Smart or the Embedded Web Server (EWS).

5. Run HP Print and Scan Doctor (Windows Only)

• Download from HP Support and follow the troubleshooting steps.
