@Janey60, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're having trouble printing from your phone to your HP ENVY 6000 and want to clear the print list. Let's walk through both issues step by step:
To Clear the Print Queue (Print List):
If you're using Windows:
- Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
- Scroll down and right-click Print Spooler, then click Stop.
- Open File Explorer and go to:
C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS
(You may need admin permission.) - Delete all files in this folder.
- Go back to Services, right-click Print Spooler, and click Start.
- Restart your computer and printer.

To Fix Phone Connection Issues:
If you're printing from a mobile device, follow these steps:
Step 1: Use the HP Smart App
- Download the HP Smart app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Open the app and tap Add Printer.
- Make sure your phone and printer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
Step 2: Restore Wi-Fi Setup Mode on Printer
If your printer isn’t showing up:
- Press and hold the Wi-Fi and Cancel buttons on the printer for 5 seconds.
- Wait for the Wi-Fi light to blink blue – this means it's in setup mode.
- Go back to the HP Smart app and try adding the printer again.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
