Can you ping the printer's IP?

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep hplip

Thanks

This is the output from the command.
The printer indicates that wireless is on, Connections indicate that printer is on wireless (HPJ610a.F46E9E = SSID) but still can't print. And yes, power is ON :)

In the printer dialogue, select to find printers and it should scan and find the printer server..

Can you help with this problem?
