Hi @mickey262,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you want to set up your HP ENVY 6458e All-in-One Printer with an iPhone can be straightforward, even if the instructions provided are for Android. 

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set it up:

Step 1: Unbox and Power On

1. Unbox the printer and remove all packaging materials.
2. Connect the power cord to the printer and plug it into a power outlet.
3. Turn on the printer by pressing the power button.

Step 2: Install Ink Cartridges and Load Paper

1. Open the ink cartridge access door and install the provided ink cartridges.
2. Load paper into the input tray.

Step 3: Connect Printer to Wi-Fi

1. On the printer's control panel, navigate to the Wi-Fi setup menu.
2. Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.

Step 4: Download the HP Smart App on Your iPhone

1. Open the App Store on your iPhone.
2. Search for HP Smart and download the app.

Step 5: Set Up the Printer Using HP Smart App

1. Open the HP Smart app on your iPhone.
2. Sign in or create an HP account if prompted.
3. Tap the plus sign (+) to add a new printer.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to detect your printer. Make sure your iPhone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the printer.
5. Once the app detects your printer, tap on it to start the setup process.
6. Follow the prompts to complete the printer setup.

Step 6: Print a Test Page

1. Once the setup is complete, you can print a test page to ensure everything is working correctly.
2. In the HP Smart app, select a document or photo to print and follow the instructions.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on both the printer and your iPhone.
• If the printer is not detected, try restarting both the printer and your iPhone.
• Make sure your iPhone’s Bluetooth is enabled, as the HP Smart app sometimes uses Bluetooth to find the printer.
• If you encounter issues, visit the HP support website for more detailed troubleshooting steps or consult the user manual.
