- If your HP printer appears in the list, then the printer setup is finished and you don’t need to move forward with troubleshooting anymore.
- If your HP printer does not appear in the list, then power off your HP printer and wait for about 60 seconds and then power on your printer. Once the printer starts up and becomes quiet and still, open the AiO Remote app on your Android device, and then check if your HP printer is seen on the list.
