Hi @josie106, Welcome to HP Support Community. 👋
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Your HP ENVY Inspire 7924e printer is stuck, refusing to complete setup, and flashing the cryptic error code EBS00P0013. Frustrating, right🙁? Let’s walk through a fix that gets your printer humming🐦 again.
Perform a Power Reset:
- Remove Cartridges: Open the printer's cartridge access door and carefully remove the ink cartridges.
- Unplug the Printer: Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer and the wall outlet.
- Discharge Residual Power: Press and hold the printer's power button for approximately 15 seconds to discharge any residual electrical charge.
- Reconnect Power: Plug the power cord back into the printer and the wall outlet. Ensure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet, not a surge protector.
- Reinstall Cartridges: Once the printer powers on, reinstall the ink cartridges.
Update Printer Firmware:
Outdated firmware can lead to setup issues. Ensure your printer's firmware is current:
- Access Firmware Update: Navigate to the printer's control panel, touch the Home button, then select "Setup" > "Printer Maintenance" > "Update the Printer."
- Install Updates: If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to install it.
Restore Factory Defaults:
If the issue persists, resetting the printer to its factory settings may help:
- Access Restore Option: From the printer's control panel, touch the Home button, then select "Setup" > "Printer Maintenance" > "Restore" > "Restore Factory Defaults."
- Confirm Reset: On the confirmation prompt, touch "Continue." The printer will restart automatically.
Reinstall HP Smart App:
The HP Smart app facilitates printer setup and management. Reinstalling it can resolve potential software conflicts:
- Uninstall Current Version: On your computer or mobile device, uninstall the HP Smart app.
- Download Latest Version: Visit the HP Smart app download page to download and install the latest version compatible with your operating system.
Reattempt Printer Setup:
After completing the steps above, use the HP Smart app to set up your printer:
- Open HP Smart: Launch the app on your device.
- Add Printer: Click on "Add Printer" and follow the on-screen instructions to connect your printer to your wireless network and complete the setup.
I hope this helps. 🖨️👍
Take care and have a good day. 🙂
