Just bought an Envy 6032e and trying to set up the printer, I have got to the purple light but the blue wifi light does not come on.  Have powered off and unpluged the power cord, waited 5 minutes, then pressed the power button for 30 seconds to remove any charge. Plugged in switched on, waited for the purple light and held in the wifi button for 5 seconds, but he wifi light still does not come on.  Repeated the process several times, but still no joy.  Can HP tell me how to fix this or do I have to return it and buy another frinter from a different company.
