My Envy 6420e was working fine before and I guess it was after some update (moved and changed the wifi setup) it just doesn't print anymore (not from computer Windows 10/ 64 nor Android phone). Now when trying to print the HP Smart says that I should finish the setup. All the lights on the printer are blinking and error codes E and 9 are blinking after each other continuously.
Have read the instructions given to others and have tried:
-to finish the installation from computer and phone- > instructions don't solve anything
-uninstalled the HP smart and removed then the printer and installed them again -> no help
-firmware is up to date
Can someone help?

Thanks, @Sandytechy20!
The second part of the instruction helped, even though the setup stuck two times when doing it and I had to start from the start again. But the third time it went through and the blinking lights disappeared. Cheers!
