To connect an HP Envy printer to Wi-Fi, first turn on the printer and make sure it is ready. Then, enable the Wi-Fi setup mode by holding the Wi-Fi button on the printer for about three seconds until a purple flashing light appears, indicating it is in pairing mode. Next, open the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device, add the printer by clicking the plus (+) symbol, and follow the app’s instructions to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password. Once connected, the Wi-Fi icon on the printer should show a steady blue light, and the printer status should be online. Performing a test print will confirm the connection is successful[1][3].
If connecting to a new Wi-Fi network, you might also need to reset the printer’s network settings first by navigating through the printer’s control panel or network menu to restore network defaults. Then follow the same steps to connect using the HP Smart app[3].
For HP Envy laptops like the Envy x360, Wi-Fi connection issues can sometimes be resolved by updating or reinstalling network drivers, performing a network reset, or troubleshooting via Windows network settings[2].
In summary, connecting the HP Envy printer involves:
– Power on and enable Wi-Fi setup (hold Wi-Fi button for 3 seconds until purple light).
– Use HP Smart app on the same Wi-Fi network to locate and add the printer.
– Enter Wi-Fi password in the app when prompted.
– Wait for printer’s blue Wi-Fi light to stabilize confirming connection.
– Print a test page to verify.
If switching to a new Wi-Fi network, reset network settings on the printer first[1][3].
