Also i now cannot print from my phone but i can wireless from my laptop (im not sure if the above is connected to each others issue)

Hi @essie-vivi,

 

I'd like to help!

 

To assist better-

  1. What device are you using the printer with, a Windows computer, Mac, Android or an iPhone? 
  2. Is the printer connected to a home or public network?
  3. Are you trying to scan to a computer or scan to email?
  4. I would like to know, is your router set to work on 2.4 GHz network or 5 GHz network band?

 Keep me posted.

Yes. happened with my scanner option though printer works all fine. Tried to check some FAQ and looks like 3700 series has some software update due to vulnerabilities detected. I tried to download but does not allow me to. Still trying with different options. One option is to re-install HP smart (I tried in my phone only as of now) and use camera scan vs printer scan option and share the document through the preferred option. Worked for me atleast with some alternate..
