HP Wireless printers connected to Orbi 860 network but will not print from Macbook pro

I have connected my HP printers to the Orbi 860 router but the printers are offline and will not print. I can print from my iPhone and iPad.

      Thank you, I have tried the HP online solutions, and I'm at the point where I need to talk to a "human."

    Have you tried uninstalling the printer on your Macbook and then reinstalling it?  Your iphone and ipad may be printing via Airprint but your laptop has the printer configured in a different way.  Reinstalling the printer is also sometimes required if you move them to a different/new router (because its IP address changes).

      Thank you! I  have removed and reinstalled my printers about 5 times. You are right about the iPhone and iPad, I can print using the HP Direct App.
