Hi @NightRail ,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you can set up your HP Envy 6020E printer using your desktop computer instead of a phone. Here's how:
- Connect the Printer: First, unpack your printer and connect it to your desktop computer using a USB cable. Make sure both devices are powered on.
- Install Software: Your printer should come with a setup CD or DVD. Insert it into your computer's CD/DVD drive and follow the on-screen instructions to install the necessary printer software. If your computer doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, you can download the software from the HP website.
- Follow On-Screen Instructions: Once the software is installed, follow the on-screen instructions to set up your printer. This may include selecting your language, connecting to your Wi-Fi network (if applicable), and registering your printer with HP.
- Test Print: After the setup is complete, you can print a test page to ensure that everything is working correctly. You can usually do this from the printer software on your computer.
- Accessibility Options: If you have vision issues, you can adjust the accessibility settings on your computer to make it easier to use. Most operating systems offer features like screen magnification, high contrast themes, and screen reader software that can help you navigate your computer more easily.
