Common “Offline / Not Connecting” Causes
- Connected to 5 GHz only or band steering conflicts—printer prefers/needs 2.4 GHz
- Weak signal or interference (walls, microwaves, overlapping channels)
- Router AP isolation / guest network prevents device discovery
- Printer lost its IP after router reboot (dynamic vs reserved IP)
- SSID or password changed; printer still remembers the old network
- Security mode mismatch (WPA2/WPA3) or MAC filtering enabled
- Firewall blocks, DNS misconfig, or captive portal requirement
- Self-assigned IP (169.x) due to DHCP/lease issues
- Driver/App confusion (HP Smart vs AirPrint) or outdated drivers
- USB-only setup done earlier; network steps never completed
- Sleep/Power-save settings causing brief “offline” windows
- Old firmware; web admin (HTTPS) not reachable reliably
How we’ll help:
- Confirm band/channel and move to stable 2.4 GHz when appropriate
- Reserve a printer IP (DHCP reservation) to avoid future drop-offs
- Re-add the printer in OS using the recommended protocol
- Update firmware and enable basic admin security
- Share signal/placement tips to reduce interference
