Frequently Cannot Print to HP Printer on Local Network

This has been a LONG-STANDING, RECURRING problem. The Macs in my household - all on the same wifi network as my HP printer - frequently cannot find the printer. It is very frustrating as it seems to happen when I need to print something quickly.


I should note this is currently occurring with an HP Envy Pro 6455; however, it happened in the past with other HP printers.


Is this a problem with HP? With Macs (I have same issue with an iMac, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air)?


Any suggestions? At this point even purchasing a non-HP printer would be considered. I'm that frustrated!


Thanks,


Bryan
