Hi @Peter402,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

If your HP 559 printer is flashing the blue light and Wi-Fi symbol continuously, it indicates that it’s having trouble connecting to your wireless network. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Restart Your Devices

• Printer: Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, wait for 60 seconds, plug it back in, and turn it on.
• Router: Restart your router by unplugging it, waiting for about 30 seconds, and plugging it back in.

2. Check Wi-Fi Connection

• Ensure that your Wi-Fi network is functioning properly and that other devices can connect to it.
• Check the distance between the printer and the router. Ensure there are no obstructions that might interfere with the signal.

3. Re-Connect the Printer to Wi-Fi

• On the printer's control panel, navigate to the Wireless or Network settings.
• Select Wireless Setup Wizard or a similar option.
• Follow the prompts to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.

4. Use WPS (if available)

• If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect your printer using this method.
• Press the WPS button on your router, then within two minutes, press the WPS button on your printer.

5. Update Printer Firmware

• Ensure your printer firmware is up to date. You can check for updates through the HP Smart app or the HP website.

6. Reset Network Settings

• If you are still having issues, consider resetting the network settings on the printer. This can usually be done in the network settings menu on the printer.

7. Check for Interference

• Ensure that there are no other devices (like microwaves or cordless phones) that may be causing interference with the Wi-Fi signal.

8. Use HP Smart App

• Download the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device. This app can help you set up the printer and manage its settings.

9. Reboot Everything

• If the problem persists, try rebooting your computer, printer, and router again after making changes.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
