Hi @Fiskers,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

If your HP OfficeJet Pro 8020 series printer's AirPrint keeps pausing, here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue.

 

Restart Devices

  • Printer: Turn off the printer, wait for about 30 seconds, then turn it back on.
  • Router: Restart your Wi-Fi router to refresh the network connection.
  • iOS Device: Restart your iPhone or iPad.

Check Printer Status

  • Ensure the printer is online and not in an error state.
  • Check for any error messages on the printer’s display or in the printer settings.

Update Printer Firmware

  • Go to the HP website and download the latest firmware for your OfficeJet Pro 8020 series.
  • Follow the instructions to update the firmware via the HP Smart app or the printer’s control panel.

Reset Network Settings

  • On the printer's control panel, navigate to the network settings and choose to reset the network settings.
  • Reconnect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.

Reinstall Printer on iOS Device

  • Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iOS device and make sure you’re connected to the correct network.
  • Go to Settings > Printers & Scanners (or Printers) and remove the OfficeJet Pro 8020 series printer.
  • Re-add the printer by selecting Add Printer or Print and choosing the OfficeJet Pro 8020 series from the list.

Check for Software Conflicts

  • Ensure no other print management software on your iOS device or network could be causing conflicts.

Reset Printer to Factory Settings

  • If none of the above steps work, you may need to perform a factory reset on the printer.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
