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:
- Activate Wi-Fi (if not already on):
- Press the Wi-Fi button on the back of your printer once. The light should start flashing.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Finalize Setup:
- Follow any remaining prompts in the HP Smart app to complete the setup process.
- 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.
