Having trouble connecting your HP Envy 6000 series printer (like the HP Envy 6055e) to your new Wi-Fi network? This guide will show you how to easily reset the network settings and connect your printer to the new network using the HP Smart app.

How do I reset the WiFi on my HP Envy printer?

Signs You Need a Wi-Fi Reset:

  • No Wi-Fi light on the printer display panel.
  • The printer won’t automatically reconnect to your new Wi-Fi network.
  • You changed your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) or password.

What You’ll Need:

  • Your HP Envy 6000 series printer
  • Your smartphone or laptop
  • HP Smart app (downloadable from the App Store)

Steps:

  1. Activate Wi-Fi (if not already on):
    • Press the Wi-Fi button on the back of your printer once. The light should start flashing.
  2. Check for Automatic Reconnection (Skip if new network):
    • If your printer was previously connected to the same network, it might automatically reconnect. Wait a few minutes to see if the Wi-Fi light becomes stable (solid blue).
  3. Reset Network Settings (for new network):
    • Locate the small round wireless button on the back of the printer, below the power button.
    • Press and hold this button for 5 seconds. Release it.
  4. Observe the Printer Lights:
    • The light on the front of the printer should turn purple, and the Wi-Fi light will start blinking. This indicates the printer is ready to connect to a new network.
  5. Connect to the New Wi-Fi Network (using HP Smart app):
    • On your smartphone or laptop, open the HP Smart app (ensure you have downloaded it beforehand).
    • In the app, click on “Add a new printer.”
    • Select “HP Envy” and click on “Setup.”
    • Follow the on-screen instructions:
      • Choose your new Wi-Fi network from the list.
      • Enter your Wi-Fi password.
      • Press and hold the information button (the eye button flashing on the printer display panel) for a few seconds.
  6. Wait for Connection:
    • While the setup progresses, the printer light will turn blue, indicating it’s connecting.
    • Once the light becomes stable (solid blue), you’ll hear a confirmation sound, signifying a successful connection.
  7. Finalize Setup:
    • Follow any remaining prompts in the HP Smart app to complete the setup process.
  8. Enjoy Wireless Printing and Scanning:
    • With the setup complete, your HP Envy 6000 series printer is now connected to your new Wi-Fi network and ready for wireless printing and scanning!

Additional Tips:

  • Ensure your smartphone or laptop is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the one you’re trying to connect your printer to.
  • If you encounter any issues during the setup process, refer to the HP Smart app’s troubleshooting guide or the HP website for your specific printer model.
