4. Choose **HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e**.
5. Open the print queue.

4. Select your HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e.
5. Set it as default.

On Windows:
1. Open the HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e queue.
2. Click the **Printer** menu.

..# 6. Check Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or USB Connection
The OfficeJet Pro 8135e supports Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Ethernet, and USB, so connection checks depend on your setup. ([HP][5])

Try this:

* Output tray is not blocked.
