Wi‑Fi Not Connecting

- Try WPS (printer Wi‑Fi/WPS → router WPS within 2 minutes).
- Assign a static IP/DHCP reservation to prevent drops.
Fix "Printer Offline"

- Windows: restart Print Spooler; clear stuck jobs.
- Disable "Use Printer Offline" in queue.
New Setup Checklist
- Unbox, load paper, install ink/toner, power on.

- Print a test page to validate alignment.
Not Printing

Where to find your HP printer model number
- Front/top panel: Often printed near the power button (e.g., OfficeJet Pro 9015).
- Rear label: Look near the power inlet/USB port for the model and serial label.
- Inside cartridge door: Open the ink/toner access door; model label is frequently inside.
- Configuration page: Print Network/Config page from the control panel to see model and IP.
- HP Smart App: App > Printer Info shows the exact model and status.
What not to do with your printer
- Don’t power off during firmware updates — it can brick the device.
- Don’t yank jammed paper — follow the jam path; remove gently to avoid sensor damage.
- Don’t use abrasive cleaners — clean with a lint‑free cloth; avoid alcohol on rollers.
- Don’t block vents — overheating causes fuser and board failures.
- Don’t mix incompatible ink/toner — always match exact HP model supplies.
- Don’t place heavy objects on the scanner lid — can crack glass or misalign hinges.
- Don’t ignore low‑ink/toner warnings — running dry can damage printheads.
