HP Printer error - In use but it is not
HP printer says it is "In use" but it is not. Printed fine a couple of days ago but nothing works: iPhone, iPad, iMac NOTHING works. deleted printer and reinstalled SEVERAL times. Still same error.
Hi,
Any information about the exact HP printer model?
If it is an AirPrint printer, and all settings are OK, you could try the following full procedure (in this order):
Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, the iPhone, the iPad, the iMac, and all other devices/computers. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer. Wait a minute or two. Power on the iPhone, the iPad, and the iMac. Finally, power on all other devices/computers.
