I have been printing from my Android smartphone for over two years now. I have never had any trouble. All of a sudden, today, when I try to print something, it just sits on fetching printer status. Any advice? I use this for my job all the time and I'm at a loss and don't know what to do.

Install the HP Print Service Plugin
-
Confirm your Android device is connected to the same network as your printer, or that Wi-Fi Direct on your printer and Android device is enabled.
-
On your Android device, install or update the HP Print Service Plugin (in English).
-
Once the installation or update is complete, choose your Android device to turn on the plugin:
-
Android 7 (Nougat) and later devices: The HP Print Service Plugin turns on automatically after installation. Continue with these steps.
-
Android 6 (Marshmallow) and earlier devices: Tap Settings, search for and open HP Print Service, and then tap On.
-
-
Turn off any other print service plugins, if necessary.
