I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8715.  I can’t print anything.  My blue Wi-Fi light is flashing on the upper right hand corner.  I already tried turning it off then back on after a minute.

Hi @RachelE1971,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd like to help!

 

The blinking blue light indicates that the printer is not connected to the network.

 

Please try the steps below to connect your printer to the network:-

 

-->On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button and the Resume button together for three seconds. (When Wi-Fi Direct is turned on, the Wi-Fi Direct icon on the display stays on)  
--->On your computer or phone go to wifi and connect it to your printer 
--->Select your printer with DIRECT in the name from the list of available networks (example: DIRECT-74-HP Deskjet2600).
--->Select the Wi-Fi Direct printer signal in Wi-Fi settings 
--->If prompted for a password, type 12345678. This is the default password to log in.
--->Now open a browser and type 192.168.223.1
--->you will be able to access the printer's EWS page 
--->on the page, you will find network - click on it 
--->go to wireless and select wireless setup wizard
--->now select the network that you want your printer to connect to and type in the password 
--->the printer will have solid blue light if it's connected 
--->then connect your phone back to your network

 

Also, Print the network configuration page and share the results-

 

Press the Wireless button and the Start Copy Black button from the printer control panel at the same time.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
