Make sure they are on same WiFi. Sometime one or the other shifts to a stronger signal.

Sounds like your printer may have gotten a new IP address. Resetting the printer may help resolve the problem. The other option would be to reset all your networking equipment (modem, router, computers, etc.).

Can you recommend someone you have used that is trustworthy?

TIA

First, unplug power cord from printer and outlet. After several seconds, reply outlet and printer. Before trying to print, make sure both are on the same network band.
If you still need a guy, I suggest getting a recommendation from one of the computer clubs here.

I had the same problem with mine the other day and I had to not only shut it down but unplug it from the electrical plug. I tried to just shut it down and I tried to unplug the back of the computer and until I unplugged it from the power, it would not reboot to connect the wireless again. I have a computer engineer in the family and every time I have a problem he says did you unplug from the power. It works every time.

Check wifi network
 
If you have 2.4 and 5.0 make sure both are on same network.

There is also a free software program called, "HP Print and Scan Doctor" that can be downloaded to your computer. It will diagnose ands fix HP printer problems. The latest version is 5.6.

Occasionally my printer decides to go on strike and this is what I use to get it back on line. Works every time.

FYI, I have the same issue. Tried everything and I mean everything. Checked out a couple of computer forums and I’m told it’s a glitch with Xfinity. I would be curious to know if you use Xfinity for your internet service?

It may be a problem with the junk modem Xfinity offers, but it isn't a problem with their connectivity. If you have your own router, this isn't the issue.

If you can log into the router, there is probably an AP WPS pin option for the wifi. You enter that pin on the printer and it connects.

There is usually the opposite too, you enter the device PIN in the router and start. It then connects.

Either of you up by Spanish Springs? I can fix this easily.

Computer Speedup and repair
 
I will come to your home to do a computer repair. I specialize in WINDOWS ONLY computers. I will diagnose and repair problems. My rate is $50 per hour. Tell me what brand and operating system you are using. The issue sounds like a router issue. Sometimes these are a quick fix, other times it takes many hours to rebuild a network to keep everything working.

I also offer Remote maintenance contracts of Windows systems & Networks.
