@MyBoo4vr  What is the model number of your HP printer and how old is it?

 

If you search the Internet for HP Printer XB7 you will see many people struggling to get their printers to connect.  Some older printers cannot connect to modern Wi-Fi networks, either due to incompatibility with band steering or because they do not support modern, more secure Wi-Fi security/encryption schemes.

 

In some cases, you may be able to get the printer to connect if you use separate network names for the 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks.

 

Some people have found that their printers can connect after upgrading their firmware, performing a factory reset, and redoing the initial setup.

 

Some cannot get their printer to connect to Wi-Fi at all and have resorted to using wired Ethernet connections.
