HP Envy 4520

I have reset the printer, reset the printer wifi connection, reset the computer HP app, disconnected wifi on both computer and printer and nothing works to bring the printer online. I am unable to print anything as nothing connects to the printer.

I am on a Mac not a Windows computer. I use the HP print app to connect to the printer via laptop

Oops I assumed you were using Windows.

For Mac you can perform as indicated in the following video:

Open the HP Smart application. If you do not have HP Smart, download it from the HP Smart: App Store on Mac, and follow the instructions to add your printer.
Click Printers, and then select Diagnose and Correct.

Selecting Diagnose and Correct
On the Diagnose and Correct screen, click Start.
Wait for the scan to complete. Do not close the application to avoid interrupting the process.
On the Diagnostics screen, review the results and then click Test Print or Done.
