Perhaps "talk talk" refers to a network provider, that is, an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

True - Different networks might require attention to different setup details.

Certainly there is no connection between an Epson printer and an HP 6000e series printer.

Bluetooth

 

The printer is not Bluetooth.

 

Sample Specifications document

Product Specifications for the HP ENVY 6010e All-in-One Printer (2K4U9B)

Section Connectivity

Ports
1 Hi-Speed USB 2.0; 1 Wi-Fi 802.11ac (dual band)
Wireless capability
Yes, built-in Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n

 

Yeah, but...

Bluetooth is used during the initial network connection when using HP Smart Mobile .

 

When you connect the printer to the network -- on your mobile device -- location services and Bluetooth should be switched on.

Dual Band Network

 

The printer supports 2.4GHz or 5GHz - not at the same time.

Dual Band Network - Considerations

 

Reminders 

Some printers, particularly older models, only support 2.4GHz

Some printers support both 5GHz and 2.4GHz – but not at the same time

Regardless, if the printer won't work or cannot connect to your 5GHz frequency, try 2.4GHz.

 

If you are running a Dual Band Network,

 Check that the router is set up to broadcast all frequencies it supports.

Next,

If your router supports it,

 Create a separate SSID named network for each frequency (5GHz and 2.4GHz).

and

 Connect the printer to the SSID network on the frequency / band you want it to use.

 

In general,

  • 2.4GHz is less fussy about obstacles and supports a longer distance (separation) between router and device (printer)
  • 5GHz is faster

Buttons on the back of the printer

 

(Wi-Fi button) - Press to turn on or off the printer wireless capabilities of connecting to a wireless network with a router or an access point.

Press and hold for at least three seconds to restore the network settings to default settings. This will also put the printer back into the Auto Wireless Connect (AWC) setup mode. The printer must be in the AWC setup mode to connect to the HP Smart app and your network. For more information, see Connect using the HP Smart app on page 26.
