hp print and scan doctor cannot find network printer

It’s worked for me a few times quite nicely.

It can even login to many common routers to understand your network and wireless configuration – allowing it to attempt even more repairs.

This tool apparently supersedes all the others. They’ve released a new tool called the HP Print and Scan Doctor, which is a swiss army knife of a tool designed to fix most common problems with network printers. HP has had a few tools to try and fix this so they’re clearly seeing a number of support calls related to printer connectivity. The causes seem to vary, be it network ports that stop working, installed printers suddenly switching to USB, or general network connection errors. Your printer will appear in the list of printers with a green dot below the printer name.I’ve had a few clients with HP Printers experience a problem where the printers just ‘disappear’ or drop offline and you cannot get them back online. In the Name field, enter the printer name. In the Address field, enter the IP address of the printer.On the Add Printer screen, select the IP tab.On your Mac device, select, then select System Preferences… > Printers & Scanners.You can try to regain access to your printer by adding its IP address to the list of your connected devices: Note: The following steps are for accessing printers on a Mac device only. Once you do not need to access your local network devices anymore, make sure to enable Network Lock, to keep your data safe if your VPN unexpectedly disconnects. If the issue persists, disable Network Lock and access your local network devices. Need help? Contact the ExpressVPN Support Team for immediate assistance.

You can allow access to your local network devices (when Network Lock is enabled) in the app settings. For the ExpressVPN Android app, when enabled, network protection does not disrupt your access to your local network devices. Important: For the ExpressVPN router app, you should have access to your local network devices as long as they are connected to the same network. Follow the steps below to resolve the issue. If you cannot access your printer or shared folders in your local area network (LAN) when connected to the VPN, it might be because access to local network devices is disabled when Network Lock is enabled in the app settings.
