I've got an HP6958 All-in-one and it's driving me crazy!

I connect through WIFI and a few weeks ago, it went off line. I removed it and reinstalled it, and it worked, once. Now, every time I want to print something, I have to go through all this.

Anyone else feel my frustration?

I'm not necessarily looking for solutions; unless it's painless and doesn't cost anything.

Just venting....

 

I hope everyone is having a good day; I know I am...

I have a different model HP but have experienced the loss of connection via WiFi once or twice each year for some unexplained reason.  Uninstall, reinstall, has worked for me.

 

Sucks to be you.

I too have an HP printer and it's a real love-hate relationship.  I have several times used HP support for issues that have popped up.  I think it costs money to talk to a human, but if you can get past the thick Hindi accent it's worth the few dollars.  😉

Try assiging it a static ip address on your wifi router.

I loved my HP-41cx and HP-48gx as much as anyone, but HP no longer means professional quality. It now means cheap consumer grade crap.  The HP-35s was a last gasp for HP.

I'd rather catch the plague than use an HP product other than a calculator.

HP 310 Computer. This was a beast. 

Ran Pacsoft on one of these for a good while. It just would not quit.

The profit in printers is the sale of ink.  You can buy a new one with the print cartridges for about the same price as buying the print cartridges.  They are selling ink.

@holy-cow 

The new printer usually comes with a "starter" cartridge that has less ink than the one you buy later.
