I'm having the issue with my envy 7100. My Husbands note 3 android won't pair with the printer. Called customer service and they was no help. The printer will pop up on his blue tooth but it says unable to connect? It connected to my phone though. I need both connected

The HP Smart app applies to wifi printers, not Bluetooth.  Diesnt work with Sprockets!

Yes mine is WiFi but I cannot figure out how to set the settings to print to printer???  I had at first printed one picture and then I guess the settings changed themselves somehow and could not print any more. I cannot figure out how to set the phone to print, it now says 'The printer isn't available right now'  when it was before and I have tried all I know but cannot get the phone back to recognize the printer. They are both connected to the same WiFi. Can you help at all? I need step by step please

Are you using a Sprocket?  You need to connect your phone to the printer through Bluetooth, not wifi, if so. And use the HP Sprocket app.

I do not believe my printer has bluetooth, just WiFi?  not sure

Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? Are you connecting the printer to a phone or a PC or Mac?
