ENVY 6200
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Have set up my new Envy 6200 printer and am able to access it successfully from 2 laptops, however trying to add the printer on another laptop the HP Smart App keeps saying "Cannot detect any printers", however Windows can see the printer for direct connection and the other 2 laptops connected without issue.

 

Any suggestions?  Have uninstalled and reinstalled the App

Welcome to the HP Community.

Reminder to those reading:

HP does not post phone numbers or email in Community messages.

==============================================================

 

If you have not done so, consider installing the Firmware Update

HP ENVY Photo 6200 All-in-One Printer series Firmware Update 

 

and

 

If you have not done so, download-save-install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver for the printer

If using USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable.

  HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software

 

  • Download-and-Save the printer software (Full Feature Software / HP Smart / Easy Start)
  • Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
  • Reminder:  If using Easy Start, select the Full Driver

 

  About 2/3 of the way through the setup, you will be given the opportunity to select the software - select the "Full" driver set (as opposed to the basic driver).

 

If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the last part of the driver installation)

 

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

 

Full driver provides print and scan functions (even if HP Smart proves to be stubborn).

=======================================================================

 

What else?

Try Restarting Everything, including the router that controls your network.

 

HP Smart runs in versions of Windows 10 1803 and newer.
