You need to connect your printer to a wireless router in your home/office. Once it's connected successfully, you then run the HP software on your computer and it will ask you how you want to connect to your printer. Select the option "Wireless" and then it will search your network for the IP address of your printer and then you should be able to print wirelessly to your printer.

There is an option within your printers software " Head Cleaner "

Run that and it should fix your problem

Does the printer print its own self test page? if so then check solution center if it states that there are no devices detected or that you need to insert the disk and complete the installation it means that the drivers did not install properly. if you havent already download the full feature software and drivers from hp and uninstall the previous installation that was attempted.

Try upluging the printer, your buffer could of been full and lost connectivity until it was empty.
