i installed it from the latest hp download - it works for a couple of days -  and then the printer goes offline, showing this page:

So many different possibilities...
Possible to test directly connected?
What do you have to do to get it working again?
Perhaps the printer IP address changing?
Can the wireless access point still see the printer? That helps narrow down if the problem is the computer or printer.
Disable any power saving settings on computer and printer to make sure it isn't dropping connection for some reason.

John -i'll try that; right now i saw it was 192.168.1.5 if i remember correct
btw the fact that the image shows "netwerk"  does that mean anything?

i unstalled the printer - and reinstalled it to get it going again before, but now it would not uninstall, and when powering off, it was doing an update -  thank MS for that - without telling people... everything slows down &"à@#!!!

so tell me if i'm right here :
first uninstall printer from devices and printers -  then set the printer fixed ip adress
then reinstall printer software
That is probably your country's translation of "network " . It should be the correct place to look
And yes your last set of steps was correct.

I am on my phone for a couple of hours
