Welcome to the HP Forums, this is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you are getting communication issue on HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw. I would like to help you resolve this issue. 

 

However, I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution,

  • When did this issue start?
  • Did you do any hardware or software changes?

Meanwhile
