To troubleshoot your HP wireless printer, follow these steps to diagnose and resolve common issues:
1. Check Printer and Network Connections:- Ensure the printer is powered on and properly connected to the Wi-Fi network.
- Make sure your computer or device is also connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the printer.
- Restart your printer and router to refresh the connection.
- Verify the printer’s status through the HP Smart app or your computer’s printer settings.
- Make sure the printer is not set to offline or paused in your operating system's printer settings.
- Power off the printer and unplug it for a minute.
- Plug it back in and turn it on to reset its network connection and refresh any communication issues.
- If the printer has lost connection to the network, run the Wireless Setup Wizard from the printer’s control panel.
- Alternatively, use the HP Smart app to reconnect the printer to your network by following the on-screen instructions.
- Outdated printer drivers or firmware can cause connection issues. Go to the HP Support website to download and install the latest drivers and firmware for your model.
- Go to your computer’s printer settings and clear the print queue in case a stuck document is causing the problem.
- If necessary, perform a factory reset on the printer by holding down the Cancel and Wireless buttons simultaneously for 5-10 seconds.
- If your Wi-Fi signal is weak or inconsistent, try moving the printer closer to the router or use a wired Ethernet connection if supported.
- Use the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool to automatically detect and resolve issues. Download it from the HP website and follow the prompts to fix the problem.
