My printer has stopped printing wirelessly. It will print a test page but will print from nothing else. Tried all the troubleshooters I could find, uninstalled and reinstalled several times. All the plug and unplug and reboot routines and nothing. Any ideas guys? Win 10, Netgear R6400v2 and HP Envy 7640. thanks

Did all that multiple times. Ended up creating a new Tcp/Ip connection I believe it was called. Someone else had the same problem and this took care of it. Don't know why it happened though.
