Product: Photo"smart" 5520
Operating System: macOS 10.14 Mojave

---HP Photosmart 5520 series is currently unavailable. Please check if it is turned on and connected, or try again later.---
Seriously why does it work some days and not others and yet you can NEVER determine why, no matter how many times you turn your wi-fi on and off and the printer on and off? Ad please dont tell me to restart my Mac, I have dozens of open apps and docs I'm working on. When it does decide to work the Mac was already on and I simply turned the wi-fi on and then the printer. Why can't this useless garbage recognise an available wi-fi network like every other periperhal product on the market? And:  "or try again later." Is that a joke? Like it's suddenly going to realise it's connected to a wi-fi network (it never does and so waiting is a waste of time). How come this "printer" has been the most unreliable frustratingly piece of hardware I've EVER bought?
