None of the options, tools, driver helpers, etc. work to get my PC to access this printer - I've tried everything and all of your tools. It says it's ready until I actually send it a job then I get an error. I can print just fine from my laptop, but just not from my desktop which is right next to the printer and on the same network. Also, I can wirelessly connect just fine to my Brothers Laser printer.
Solved! Go to Solution.

@Jernlori, Welcome to HP Support Community!
Add the printer using TCP/IP port-
1. Select “Start” and type “printers” in the search box.
2. Choose “Printers & scanners“.
3. elect “Add a printer or scanner“.
4. Wait for the “The printer that I want isn’t listed” option to appear, then select it.
5. Select “Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname” , then select “Next“.
6. select “TCP/IP Device” in the “Device type” list.
7. Type the hostname or the IP address of the printer. Select “Next“. To find the IP address of the printer, touch the Wi-Fi icon on the printer's control panel.
8. Windows should find the printer if the printer is on and configured correctly. You may have to specify more information. If prompted, Select the type of network adapter installed in the printer in the “Device Type” drop-down list. You can also click “Custom” to specify custom settings for the network printer. Select “Next“
Try printing.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
