hp envy wifi setup

To set up WiFi on your HP Envy printer, the recommended method is to use the **HP Smart app**. Here is a concise overview of the steps:

1. **Prepare the Printer:**
– Turn on your printer and ensure it is ready.
– Reset the network settings if connecting to a new WiFi by going to the printer’s control panel: touch the Wireless icon or Network menu, then navigate to **Settings > Restore Network Settings** or **Restore Network Defaults**, and confirm the reset[2].

2. **Install HP Smart App:**
– Download and install the **HP Smart app** on your smartphone, tablet, or PC (available on Apple App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store, or HP website)[2][3].

3. **Connect Printer to WiFi via HP Smart:**
– Open the HP Smart app and sign in or create an HP account if needed.
– Ensure your device is connected to the WiFi network you want the printer to use.
– In the app, click the plus (“+”) icon to add a printer or set up a new one.
– Put the printer into wireless setup mode: typically by pressing and holding the WiFi button until a light flashes purple or blue[1][3].
– The app will detect the printer, then follow the on-screen instructions to select your WiFi network and enter the password[1][2][3].

4. **Confirm Connection:**
– After setup, the printer WiFi icon should become steady blue, indicating a successful connection.
– Print a test page from the HP Smart app or printer control panel to verify[1][2].

If the printer doesn’t appear in the app, ensure it is in wireless setup mode, close to the router, and try again. You may need to remove the printer from the app and add it again if it shows offline[2].

These steps apply broadly to HP Envy series models such as Envy 6000, 6458e, and 6052, with slight differences mainly in printer button layout[1][2][3]. For detailed visuals, an official HP YouTube tutorial demonstrates the wireless setup process with the Envy 6000 series[1].
