Hi @anexxzzzz,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd like to help!

 

Check for network and connection issues if you cannot print or scan with a wireless HP printer.

Restart devices

  • Restart your computer or mobile device, printer, and router to clear any error states.
  • Disconnect your computer or mobile device from the network name (SSID), and then reconnect it to the same network name your printer is connected to.
  • If the printer is available and has a ready status, the issue is resolved. You do not need to continue troubleshooting.
  • Press the Power button to turn off the printer. If the printer does not turn off, disconnect the power cord from the printer and from the power source.
  • Turn off the computer or mobile device that the printer was set up with.
  • Restart the router.
  • Reconnect the power cord to the printer and to a wall outlet.

NOTE: HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

  • Turn on the computer or mobile device.
  • Check the connection to make sure the same network is used by the printer and the device.
  • Computer or mobile device: Open the list of available networks and make sure it is connected to the correct network.
  • Printer: Check the Wireless light on the control panel. If it is solid blue the printer is connected.
