Tried uninstalling driver and software and re-installing, uninstalling just driver and reinstalling just driver, uninstalled with devmgmt, installed just using ip address, let windows install driver automatically, cleared printer spooler.. I dont know what else to do!? HP Laserjet Pro 200 color MFP m276nw. Networked and works on all other computers.

1. make sure you did not by accident pushed a "off\line" button the printer
2. open printer queue and make sure it isn't set "offline" when selecting printer from the menu bar.
3. look at the control panel on the printer and make sure your WIFI icon is lit up (on) and not off.
look at this user manual page explaining the control panel : https://www.manualslib.com/manual/782787/Hp-M276.html?page=20#manual
