Why my hp computer will not connect to a wireless hp printer
You computer does not connect directly to your printer. It connect via your router, so you need to make sure that your router and the printer is connect using the WPS function or entering the routers control and panel. Alternatively uninstall the software for the printer and re-sintalle. During the re-install you will be asked how do wish to connect to the printer, select wireless and make sure you enter the router's passkey and the type of encryption uses. Problem solved.Cheers.

The problem is with the printer Header you need to take it out and clean with a cloth. Some time the ink is the problem too if you get 3rd supplier for ink. They wont work as the original ink toner. If your ink toner are original then the header is the problem you can find online or Manuel how to remove and clean the header (sometime the software supplied will do that for you from the manufacturer). Hope this helped
