I had unplugged my computer as I was going away for a week

Have plugged it in again and the computer is working perfectly but my HP Envy Inspire is not connecting to it. Have turned removed it from system preferences on my MAC and added it. What should I do next?

I don't know if you can see what I originally wrote. Had gone out of town and unplugged my computer. Came home and plugged it in again but the HP Envy Inspire did not connect with my IMAC. Deleted it as one of my printers. and then added it. Still does not print though it says that there are two items to print.

Yes, I saw it. Can You please provide me with the model name of your printer?

HP Envy Inspire 9700

Thanks. Is this printer connected wired or wireless?

Customer Replay

Wireless. It shows on the IMAC that it is connected and in use.

author

Can You please unplug your printer from the wall for 2-5 minutes, and plug it back in?

Customer Replay

I will try. Can I just unplug it from the computer rather than from the wall plug?

author

Is it connected to your computer by wire?

Customer Replay

I was able to unplug it though it is under my desk. The computer is plugged into one of those surge protecters The printer is plugged into the surge protector as well.

Do you have a possibility to connect your printer to your MAC using the cable?
