Hi HP Community
I keep getting this error message when I try to scan a document to my Google Drive. It worked previously. I was offline for a while and changed from a mobile hotspot to home wifi. Everything else works, even scan to email function. Please advise.
Error msg:
"The printer could not connect to Web Services. The server might be busy or temporarily unavailable. Try again latter."
Thank you

Hi @TJewel,
I'd like to help!
Please try the below suggestions-
Set a manual IP
To set a manual IP and try the steps below-
--->Touch on the wifi icon ((i)) on the printer, and take down the IP address
--->Open a web browser (ex Chrome or Mozilla) and type in the printer's IP
--->then go to network ---> general ---> network protocols ---> select IPV4 only-->apply
--->go to wireless ---> wireless 802.11---> select manual ip ---> apply
--->Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
--->then go to settings on the main ews page --> power management ---> select sleep mode to max 15min
Let's disable webservices and re-enable it
--->Touch on the wifi icon ((i)) on the printer, and take down the IP address
--->Open a web browser (ex Chrome or Mozilla) and type in the printer's IP
---> click on webservices and remove webservices and re-enable it
Then try and scan
