– **Select Network:** The printer scans for available networks. Choose your Wi-Fi network and enter the password when prompted[1].
– **Complete Setup:** After connecting, install the printer software from the HP website or use the **HP Smart app** to finish setup and ensure printing from your devices[1].

### **Method 2: Using the HP Smart App**

– **Open the App:** Tap the **plus (+)** icon to add a new printer[2].
– **Follow Prompts:** Select “Set up a new printer” and choose your HP Envy 6052e from the list. The app will guide you to connect to your Wi-Fi network, confirm the connection, and complete setup[2][3].
– **Check Connection:** A stable blue light on the printer indicates a successful Wi-Fi connection[2].

### **Troubleshooting Tips**

– **Ensure Proximity:** Place the printer within range of your Wi-Fi router for a strong signal[3].
– **Verify Network Details:** Have your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password ready before starting[3].
