HP ENVY Pro 6455 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I recently updated my WiFi info and I pressed the button on the back of the printer and the bar light is purple per the instructions online, but I cannot connect it through the HP smart app, and I do not have the cord that would connect it via USB or something.

Hello,

HP Printers - 'Unsuccessful Network Installation' error (Windows)

 
  1. Disconnect the printer from the computer or network.

  2. In Windows, search for and open Add or remove programs.

  3. In the list of installed programs, click your HP printer name, and then click Uninstall. If your printer name does not display, select HP Smart, and then click Uninstall.

  4. If a User Account Control message displays, click Yes.

  5. Follow the instructions to complete the software removal, and then restart the computer.

    NOTE: If the uninstall fails, use the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter (in English), and then try uninstalling again.
  6. In Windows, search for and open Control Panel.

  7. Click Devices and Printers.

  8. For each printer icon that represents the name of your HP printer, right-click the icon, and then click Remove Device or Uninstall device.

    NOTE: If no printer icons display, the printer has already been removed.

The printer software and driver is uninstalled.

Other related HP software might remain on the system. If you do not want a particular software title, uninstall it from Add or remove programs.

Use HP Print and Scan Doctor (Windows)

Use HP Print and Scan Doctor on your Windows computer to help diagnose and fix printing and scanning issues.
