Have you moved the wireless security from WPA3 to WPA2-PSK?

No problem.  For reference, devices of that vintage (the HP model is a decade old) cannot really be expected to handle WPA 3 (or WPA3-T) wireless encryption, which is a bit unfortunate as that's what the Max Hub uses by default.

I had the same issue.

Print off a report from the printer. this will give you the printer MAC address.

Enter this MAC address manually in the SKY max hub.

Connection - WIFI - Add device manually.

Then connect to network from printer.

Max Hub administration is through the My Sky app.
