HP laserjet stops printing after change of internet provider - workaround : reinstall....

Question

Hi,
my HP multi-function laserjet printer worked fine on my windows 7 laptop, via wifi connection, in the past ;
recently changed internet provider, and since, I do not manage to install the printer so that it works continuously.
After initial install (via cable connection between laptop and printer), all seems fine ;
I select "share with all users" ;
=> all OK, everything prints, for both users.
Problem:
Next time another user or myself try to print, just a couple of days later - nothing works anymore ; 
NO error message ; 
printer job is visible in queue ; 
printer is visible (and selected as default printer) in "devices and printer" with a green checking mark, but in light grey, as if inactive.
When (right-)clicking "troubleshoot", no error is found.... but nothing prints, still.
How can I avoid doing the reinstall every time I want to print from my laptop???
(Printing from my tablet works fine !)
Would be very greatful for your help..... thanks in advance!

Hi @KatLe ,
I see that you are experiencing issues printing from different user accounts. I will certainly do my best to help you.
I have provided a document for setting Security permissions for printing to see if that will help.
Can the Administrator Account on the computer print, or are they having intermittent issues also?
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
