Soooo frustrating. I have set up my printer 2 times. Turned everything off including my router to get the printer to work. I just printed up a bunch of things and then it just stops printing. I think it isn't communicating even though the wi fi signal is on on my printer. I don't want to have to turn off everything again & again. I also just tried to hard wire it to my computer with a phone cable & that doesn't work either. please help!!!!

Hello @KTTK1
I’m sorry you’re going through this — it’s frustrating when a printer works for a while and then suddenly stops communicating, especially after you’ve already spent so much time resetting everything. The fact that Wi-Fi shows as connected on the printer but jobs won’t go through suggests the connection is dropping between the printer and the network, not on the printer itself. I recommend removing and adding the printer again on Windows:
Remove Printer
-
Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners.
-
Select your printer.
-
Click Remove → Yes.
Add Printer
-
Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners.
-
Click Add device.
-
Select your printer → Add.
You may also use the HP Smart app to interface with the printer. Hope this helps!
