Step 5: Make sure the wireless version of the printer is set as the default printer driver (Windows only)

If you install the HP software again, the installer might create a second version of the printer driver in your Printers or Printers and Faxes folder. If you have difficulties printing or connecting to the printer, make sure the correct version of the printer driver is set as the default.

b. On the Ports tab, look for a port in the list with a checkmark. The version of the printer driver that is connected wirelessly has Standard TCP/IP Port as the Port description, next to the checkmark.

3.Right-click the printer icon for the version of the printer driver that is connected wirelessly, and then click Set as Default Printer.

NOTE: If there is more than one icon in the folder for the printer, right-click the printer icon for the version of the printer driver that is connected wirelessly, and then click Set as Default Printer.
