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

After I replaced the ink cartridges for my Hp envy 6455e printer, its status has been "offline". The blue wi-fi icon on the printer has been blinking nonstop.

 

I tried unplug the power cord, but to no avail. I also tried pressing the tiny wi-fi button on the back of the printer for 5 seconds, but it doesn't work, either.

 

At the same time, the color-copy icon (at the lower left corner) has been changing from blue to red to purple colors constantly. 

 

Please advise how I can bring my printer online!

Hi @Emily2015 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

It sounds like your HP Envy 6455e lost its network connection after replacing the ink cartridges. Here are some steps to bring it back online:

 

Restart the Printer & Router

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it for 60 seconds.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router and wait for it to fully reconnect.
  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Reconnect the Printer to Wi-Fi

  • Press and hold the Wi-Fi button on the back of the printer for 5 seconds until the light blinks.
  • Open the HP Smart app on your computer or phone.
  • Select Add Printer and follow the steps to reconnect it to Wi-Fi.

Check Printer Status on Your Computer

  • Open Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners.
  • Find your HP Envy 6455e, right-click it, and select See what’s printing.
  • If there are stuck print jobs, click Printer > Cancel All Documents.
  • Right-click the printer again and select Set as default printer.
