I’ve tried re starting, removing cartridges and re starting. I’m using an iPad and an iPhone and can’t see a fix and diagnose option in the app.

Watch the reset video. After resetting, you generally have 2 hours to complete the setup. Decide if you want to connect the printer to the router or to print directly to the printer and bypass the router.
Many HP and other OEM printers have problems with the router when the router has two bands and both bands have the same name (SSID). Log into the modem and rename one of the bands. Alternately, contact your ISP and have them rename a band.
Or simply use Wi-Fi direct and void using the router
You may need to reset the printer: video here
Works on 4220, 4230, 4258
Wi-Fi setup to router: video here
For Wi-Fi direct setup see page 11 click here or watch this video
This is useful if there is no modem or you want to avoid using the modem / router.
Simple push button or WPS setup is described on page 11 also. Do this if you do not have a smartphone or laptop.

Let me know if you have a flex system (Wi-Fi boosters or repeaters) as the setup is much more complicated when using the router type of connection.
