Hi there,
I now have a HP Officejet 7740 (just upgraded from an Officejet 8620). Both printers are still connected to the same network from the same MacBook Pro (new model, with Catalina). All firmware on both printers are up to date.
Issue:
The 8620 works perfectly fine - I can print anytime from my MacBook or from any Apple device (iPhones, iPads) using AirPrint with NO ISSUES AT ALL.
HOWEVER, the 7740 is not 'responsive' on the network much of the time.
Printing from laptop is unreliable on 7740: Sometimes when I can print something on the 7740, the next print job a few minutes later is sent and the printer is unable to be connected to. All my networking equipment, laptop, printer etc is in the same room and the WIFI signal quality is at maximum levels. I never know when/if I can print and sometimes, jobs hang in the middle of the print job.
AirPrint does not work for 7740. None of my Apple devices can locate the 7740 printer using AirPrint. At the same time, using the same devices and same printing subject matter, I have no issues printing via AirPrint to the 8620.
PLEASE HELP!
