Hi Bumfusal,

Got it — your new HP Envy 6550e won’t print. Let’s walk through some quick troubleshooting steps to get it working:

Check Printer

  1. Power & Connections
  • Is the printer turned on?
  • Is it connected to Wi-Fi or your computer (via USB or network)?
  • Check for any error lights or messages on the screen.

       2.  Paper & Ink

  • Make sure there’s paper in the tray.
  • Check ink levels and make sure cartridges are installed correctly.

Computer Side

     3. Check Printer Status

  • On Windows:
    Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Envy 6550e
    Make sure it’s not set to “Offline” or “Paused.”
  • On Mac:
    System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Envy 6550e
    Make sure it’s the default printer and not showing any errors.

      4.  Print Queue

  • Clear out any stuck print jobs:
    Right-click on the printer and choose “See what’s printing” → cancel all jobs.

Quick Fixes
     5.  Restart Everything

  • Restart your printer, computer, and Wi-Fi router.

     6. HP Smart App

  • Install or open the HP Smart App – it can run diagnostics and help with setup.
  • The app is available on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

     7. Driver Issues

  • Go to HP’s support site and download the latest hp drivers for the Envy 6550e.

Hopefully this helps
