Connect HP ENVY 6055e to WiFi

Connecting the HP ENVY 6055e to WiFi allows you to print wirelessly from computers and mobile devices without connecting the printer directly with a USB cable. HP recommends using the HP app to set up the printer, connect it to a wireless network, install the required software, and manage printing and scanning features.

Prepare Your HP ENVY 6055e for WiFi Setup

Before starting the wireless setup, place the HP ENVY 6055e and your computer or mobile device close to the WiFi router. Make sure WiFi is enabled on your computer or mobile device and that it is connected to your wireless network. HP also recommends enabling Bluetooth on the computer or mobile device because the HP app can use it to detect the printer during setup.

Make sure the printer is powered on and ready for setup. Having the printer near the router during the initial connection can help avoid wireless communication problems.

Connect HP ENVY 6055e to WiFi Using the HP App

The HP app is HP's recommended method for setting up the ENVY 6055e. HP states that the app can help connect the printer, install drivers, and provide printing, scanning, and troubleshooting features.

Follow these steps:

1. Download and install the HP app on your Windows PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

2. Turn on the HP ENVY 6055e.

3. Make sure your computer or mobile device is connected to your WiFi network.

4. Open the HP app and begin adding or setting up the printer.

5. Follow the instructions displayed in the app to connect the HP ENVY 6055e to your wireless network.

6. Enter your WiFi password when requested.

7. Allow the setup process to finish.

8. Once the printer is connected, use the HP app to confirm that the printer is available.

HP's official setup page specifically lists the HP app as the recommended way to connect the ENVY 6055e and complete its software setup.

What If the HP ENVY 6055e Does Not Appear?

If the HP app cannot find the printer, first check that the printer and mobile device or computer are close to the WiFi router. Confirm that WiFi is enabled and that your device is connected to the intended network. HP also recommends enabling Bluetooth during setup on supported computers and mobile devices so the app can detect the printer.

If the printer still cannot be detected, you may need to restore the printer's WiFi setup mode. HP provides specific instructions for restoring WiFi setup mode on its support website.

After restoring the setup mode, reopen the HP app and try adding the printer again.

Connect Using WPS

The HP ENVY 6055e belongs to a family of HP printers that can use WPS for wireless setup. For compatible HP printers without a touchscreen, HP's instructions state that you can press and hold the Wireless button until the wireless light starts flashing, then press the WPS button on the router within two minutes. The wireless light stops flashing when the connection is established.

Because WPS availability and the exact controls can vary by printer, use HP's instructions for the ENVY 6055e before attempting this method.

Troubleshooting HP ENVY 6055e WiFi Connection

If your HP ENVY 6055e is not connecting to WiFi, try these basic checks:

• Move the printer closer to the WiFi router during setup.

• Confirm that your computer or mobile device is connected to WiFi.

• Make sure Bluetooth is enabled when using the HP app for setup.

• Restart the printer and try the setup again.

• Restore WiFi setup mode if the printer cannot be detected.

• Use HP's wireless troubleshooting tools if the connection continues to fail.

Final Thoughts

Setting up the HP ENVY 6055e to WiFi is easiest through the HP app. Keeping the printer close to the router, connecting your computer or mobile device to WiFi, and enabling Bluetooth during setup can help the app detect the printer. If the printer is not found, restoring WiFi setup mode and running the setup again can resolve many connection problems.
