Hi @cshines,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

If your HP Envy 6055e is blinking purple, it means it's in Wi-Fi setup mode but not yet connected to a network. Since you've tried restarting everything and it's still not connecting, here are a few steps to troubleshoot.

 

Check Wi-Fi Settings:

  • Ensure that your Quantum Fiber network is operating correctly and that other devices can connect to it without issues.

Use the HP Smart App:

  • Download and install the HP Smart app on your smartphone or computer if you haven’t already.
  • Open the app and select "Add Printer" or "Set Up a New Printer."
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the printer to your new Wi-Fi network. The app should guide you through selecting your Quantum Fiber network and entering the password.

Manually Connect Using WPS:

  • If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can use this method.
  • Press the WPS button on your router.
  • Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your printer (this might be a dedicated WPS button or you may need to navigate through the printer’s menu to initiate WPS setup).

Check for Firmware Updates:

  • Make sure your printer's firmware is up to date. Sometimes, updating the firmware can resolve connectivity issues.
  • You can check for updates through the HP Smart app or on the HP support website.

Verify Network Details:

  • Ensure your Quantum Fiber network is using a compatible frequency (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz). Some printers have trouble connecting to 5 GHz networks.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
