Firewalls (on your router or computer) can block the necessary ports or protocols that the printer uses to communicate with HP's servers. Ensure that your router's firewall isn't overly restrictive. You might need to add exceptions for the printer's IP address or specific ports if you have advanced firewall settings. Temporarily disabling the firewall for testing purposes can help identify if it's the cause.
