Product: HP OfficeJet 5255 All-in-One Printer
The printer is connected to wifi. I can print. The instaInk is not connecting. The web access test results say test server fail. I have done all of the following:
Check Network Connection:
- Ensure that your printer is properly connected to the same network as the test server.
- Verify that the Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection is stable.
- Restart your router to ensure a fresh connection.
Printer Restart:
- Turn off your printer, wait for about 10-15 seconds, and then turn it back on.
- Allow the printer to complete its startup process.
Network Configuration:
- Confirm that your printer is using the correct network settings (SSID, password, etc.).
- Access the printer's control panel or web interface to check and update the network configuration if necessary.
Update Firmware:
- Check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer on the HP support website.
- If updates are available, follow the instructions provided by HP to update the printer's firmware.
Firewall/Antivirus Settings:
- Ensure that your firewall or antivirus software is not blocking the printer's access to the test server.
- Temporarily disable the firewall or antivirus and run the web access test again.
Proxy Settings:
- If you are using a proxy server, ensure that the proxy settings on the printer are configured correctly.
Printer IP Address:
- Check the printer's IP address to confirm it is on the same subnet as the test server.
- Reconfigure the IP settings if needed.
Reset Network Settings:
- Some printers have an option to reset network settings. Refer to the printer's manual to find the instructions on how to perform a network reset.
I have factory reset, restarted, and unplugged & waited many times. Nothing is helping. This didn't happen a couple of weeks ago! How do I reconnect to InstaInk?! Thank you.
