HP Envy 4520
macOS 10.13 High Sierra

My HP Envy 4520 has quit being recognized by my MacBook Plus laptop in wireless mode.  It is fine with other devices on wireless (iPhone/iPad using HP Smart Print App and Windows PC).  I have deleted/re-installed print software, drivers, etc. several times to no avail.  Have tried installing using IP address protocol as well.

Hi,

Try removing the printer and then re-adding it by opening the preferences tab and then selecting "printers & scanners".

From there, click the minus sign under the printer icon to remove the printer and then re-add it using the plus sign.

This often helps if you are experienceing printer offline issues regularly.


If you still can't find the printer, I would try the steps with the usb connected and if a wireless connection is established, then remove it.



If the issue persists, restart your mac and try again and if this doesn't help, then restart your router also.
