HP ENVY 6432e All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Hi everyone,
I am having a persistent issue with my HP ENVY 6400 series All-in-One printer (specifically bought in June 2023). The Wi-Fi light keeps blinking blue, and the printer seems to be stuck in a wireless loop.
Here is what is happening and what I have already tried:
  1. The Issue: The printer status report states "This printer is not connected to a network. However, Wi-Fi is turned on." The HP Smart App shows the printer as offline.
  2. The Loop: When I look at the Wi-Fi list on my phone or PC, the HP-Setup network appears for a brief second but immediately drops out. The printer seems to be resetting its own wireless module constantly.
  3. Resets tried: I have tried resetting the network settings by holding the wireless button on the back for 5 seconds. I also attempted a factory reset by leaving the ink cartridge access door open and holding the Power and Wireless buttons for 3–5 seconds.
  4. Power Cycle: I performed a hard power reset (unplugging the power cord for over 60 seconds directly from the wall), but as soon as it boots back up, the blinking blue light error returns.
  5. My Network: My home Wi-Fi network is working perfectly on all other devices (PC, phone, TV).
Because it is an HP+ printer, it is currently completely locked from printing anything because it cannot verify its internet connection.
Is there any way to force a deep firmware reset, or is the internal wireless network card permanently fried?
Thanks in advance for your help!
