The printer's own screen says connected and I can print from my phone, but the Windows laptop always shows it offline. Removing and re-adding it works for about a day. How do I make it stick?

HP printer, connected to the same wifi as my laptop, prints a test page from its own menu fine. but windows says offline about half the time and jobs just sit in the queue. restarting both fixes it for a day. what's the permanent fix?

HP inkjet, new cartridges, ran the cleaning cycle twice from the printer menu. Text still has faint horizontal lines through it. Next step?

Setting up an HP printer on wifi and the router asks for a WPS pin. Nothing on the box or the sticker mentions one.

My HP printer sits in the devices list with driver unavailable underneath it. Removed it and added it back, same message. What's the proper way to fix the driver?

HP laser printer on the network config page lists its IP as 0.0.0.0, so nothing can print to it. It's plugged into the router by cable. Rebooted both. How do I get it to pick up a real address?

When I tap Print on the iPad it says no AirPrint printers found. The printer is on the same Wi-Fi and my laptop prints to it fine. It's an HP Deskjet. Does it need an app?

Need it to add the printer on my partner's laptop since it won't find it automatically. It's a wireless Canon with a tiny screen. Is it on a printout somewhere or do I look on the router?

HP inkjet, and the printer's own screen says connected. Laptop says offline. Turned both off and on, removed and re-added the printer. Prints for a day, then offline again.
