    Hi,

    What is the model of the HP printer?

    What could be happening if it's working via Wi-Fi Direct

    Thanks

    Use the Bluetooth troubleshooting steps in Windows to stop the HP printer from disconnecting.

    1. Run the Bluetooth troubleshooter
      • On Windows 10, open the Get Help app and run the automated Bluetooth troubleshooter. It will diagnose and attempt to fix Bluetooth problems automatically.
      • You can start it from this link on the PC: Run the troubleshooter in Get Help (ms-contact-support://smc-to-emerald/TroubleshootBluetooth).
    2. Turn off Battery saver
      • Select the Battery icon on the taskbar.
      • If Battery saver is turned on, turn it off so it does not interfere with Bluetooth connectivity.
    3. Disable Bluetooth power saving in Device Manager
      • Select Start, type Device Manager, and open it.
      • Expand Bluetooth.
      • Right‑click the Bluetooth adapter (for example, Intel/Realtek/Broadcom Bluetooth device) and select Properties.
      • Go to the Power Management tab.
      • Clear Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
      • Select OK.
    4. Restart the Bluetooth service
      • Press Windows key + R, type services.msc, and select OK.
      • Scroll to Bluetooth Support Service.
      • Right‑click it and select Restart.
    5. Update Bluetooth drivers
      • Open Device Manager again.
      • Expand Bluetooth.
      • Right‑click the Bluetooth adapter and select Update driver.
      • Let Windows search for updated drivers and install if available.

    If the printer still disconnects, also verify the printer is close enough to the PC, Bluetooth is enabled on both devices, and there are no other strong wireless devices causing interference. For persistent Bluetooth printer issues, follow the guidance in Fix Bluetooth problems in Windows from the references.

    Bluetooth is actually not the best way to connect to a printer a computer. To make that connection, use Wi-Fi or, even better, a USB cable or an Ethernet cable.

    Use Bluetooth if you want to print from your phone to your printer. (Damn, I wish I had a printer like that.)
