Hp envy 6000 says printer is not available when I try to print from my android. I had just printed a 10 page document and two certificates then all of a sudden it says printer not available. I've tried restarting the printer twice I went through the realignment process and it just won't print

Select the HP Print Service Plugin option, tap OK, and then the document or photo prints.

Troubleshoot the wireless printer connection.

Check network issues and setup requirements if the printer is not found during software installs or when wireless print jobs fail.

Poor network connection: Move the printer and computer or mobile device closer to the wireless router, and then check if the signal quality improved. 

Try opening a website to see if the internet connection is working properly. 

If Wi-Fi is slow or intermittent, restart the router by disconnecting the power cord, waiting 15 seconds, and then reconnecting the cord.

Printer is off or in sleep mode: Touch the control panel menu or press the Power button to wake the printer and put it in a ready state. 

Sometimes the printer status might display Offline when it is actually ready.

Check the printer connection status: Make sure the wireless signal is on, and the printer is connected to the same network as your computer or mobile device. 

If your printer has a light next to a Wireless icon or button , make sure the light is on. 

If it is off or blinks the printer is disconnected from the network.

Reconnect the printer to the network: 

Place the printer within range of the Wi-Fi router signal, and then connect it to the network.

Press and hold the Wi-Fi button and the Power button on the back of the printer for five seconds until the blue bar flashes. 

Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS button on the router until the connection process begins. 

The blue bar stops flashing when the connection completes.

Restart devices: Restart the printer and the computer or mobile device to clear possible error conditions.

Print a Wireless Test Report: Search the HP Customer Support website for your printer model, and then search for self test page to find the document on how to print and evaluate the report.

Enable Bluetooth for an HP Smart app setup: Enable Bluetooth on your computer or mobile device so that HP Smart can detect the printer during the setup.

 

Check print spooler settings and status (Android).

Make sure the print spooler is clear on your Android smartphone or tablet.

In the Settings menu, tap Apps or Applications.

Tap the More icon , and then tap Show System Apps.

Tap Print Spooler. If Print Spooler is not an option, tap Storage, and then tap Print Spooler.

Tap Clear Data or Force Stop.

Restart your mobile device.
