Thanks all for replying on this. When I did the initial networking configuration setup way back when I first got the printer, I just followed the instructions on the HP CD to set up the wireless and don't recall ever specifying a static IP vs DHCP.  Assume it would be defaulted to use DHCP. But over the last couple of days, I re-installed the printer set up from that same CD along with trying to set up the Wireless connectivity and don't see any static IP vs DHCP configuration selection.  It just fails on that last step after selecting my SSID and password. So since I am not very networking savy, can you guys tell me how I could find out if my printer is using a static IP vs using DHCP? Assume this is something I should be able to see from my computer as long as it is connected to the printer using the USB since that is the only way to connect currently? On my printer, there aren't many Wireless options to look at from the console.

Thanks again for your replies!

Do you have your 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz on separate SSID? I am assuming your HP Printer only works on 2.4. Try again with different SSID for 2.4 Ghz and make sure both PC and printer are on the same 2.4 GHz SSID.

I had the same issue with my hp envy.

I downloaded the TMobile Internet app. Went to Networks. Found the TMOBILE network and clicked the right arrow

Changed the frequency band to 2.4

WPA version to WPA/WPA2

WPA encryption to TKIP & AeS

Now it works .

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  This worked for me and my HP Officejet 6000.  Thought I was going to have to return my gateway and stick with Xfinity.  Tmobile you should share this with your tech people.  I was on the phone a long time trying to figure this out.  Had to type multiple phrases in google to finally find this post.

Worked for me too.  Did not want to buy a new printer yet.  ¡Gracias!
