Officejet 5255 printer won't print from Dell XPS laptop but will print from iPhone and directly from the printer touchscreen. As soon as I hit print on laptop, a popup instantly appears saying "Error printing. Printer couldn't print [document name]"; no specific error number is given. Recently changed router SSID name but updated it on printer, laptop, and phone. Pretty sure I've printed since changing name. Have tried deleting and reloading driver and HP software; ran HP Print and Scan Doctor and other troubleshooters multiple times; deleted and reinstalled printer multiple times; reset printer to factory defaults; used wireless setup wizard to reconnect to router.

Welcome to the HP support community.
Use HP Print and Scan Doctor to fix connectivity and printing issues.
Download HP Print and Scan Doctor.
-
Run HPPSdr.exe from the download location on your computer.
-
Once HP Print and Scan Doctor opens, click Start, and then select your printer.
-
If your printer is not in the list, turn it off and on, and then click Retry.
-
If there is a connection problem, follow the instructions in HP Print and Scan Doctor.
-
-
If a screen prompts you to turn on printer updates, click Yes.
-
If a screen prompts you to make your printer the default printer, click Yes.
-
Try to print.
Assign a manual IP address and that should fix the issue.
-
Make sure there is U.S. letter or A4 size, unused, plain paper in the input tray.
-
On the printer control panel, touch the Setup icon
.
-
Touch Tools.
-
Swipe down the display, and then touch Network Configuration Page.
Setting a Static IP Address
Once you know your printer’s IP address from the page you printed, entering it is pretty easy. Here’s what you do:
- Run your Web browser.
- In the Web browser’s address bar, type the IP address of your printer and press Enter. Assuming you entered the right address, the HP printer control panel should appear.
- Click the Networking tab.
- Under Connections, click Wireless.
- Under IP Address Configuration, click Manual IP.
- Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the appropriate boxes.
- Click Apply.
