I just armwrestled with my HP Envy printer. One of the steps in curing the problem was to delete the network information from the printer, shut it down and unplug it for 30 seconds or so.

This is very good advice. I prefer singing Happy Birthday and saying, "There's a good WiFi device. Be nice now."

After working on this for over 2 hours the day before.. I deleted the printer from my computer. Removed the network from the printer. Unplugged the printer... Reinstalled the printer, took a deep breath, and had a cocktail. Plugged the printer back in, and then reconnected the network. Its on!!!
