I just uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software for my OfficeJet 6700 All-In-One. Had no problems printing prior to the new software. I can scan from the printer to the iMac. But when trying to print, it tells me the computer is not communicating with the printer. I am connected via USB since my wireless piece on the printer died a few years ago.
Thanks for the suggestions folks. Based on the one above from MrHuffman, I ran the System Information check in the Solve printing problems on Mac. What I found was the printer not showing up, even though I could scan from it. I moved it from a USB 3.0 Hub, to directly into the Mac. Once I did this, it allowed me to install it as a Bonjour printer. That resolved the issue. Thanks all.

You’ve confirmed the most recent drivers, presumably.
And you’ve now tested the Ethernet path...
If you’ve tried the following for Solve printing problems on Mac - Apple Support
then try: Reset the Mac printing system to solve a problem - Apple Support
Been running Brother printers in recent years, fewer HP devices...

Try HP:
You might try asking this in the HP Support Forums.
Go Here: Printer Support Community - HP
Did that, same result.
Reboot both the Mac and he printer, and try again.
Doc for that printer indicates support for Ethernet. Tried connecting via that path?
