Hi @Cas583,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

The error code E6 on your HP ENVY 6032e All-In-One Printer typically indicates a serious issue with the printer, often related to the carriage, paper path, or a sensor problem. Since you've already removed the paper jam and tried unplugging the printer, let's try a few more troubleshooting steps.

 

Steps to Resolve the E6 Error Code:

Power Cycle the Printer:

  • Unplug the printer from the power source.
  • Wait for at least 60 seconds.
  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Check for Additional Paper Jams:

  • Open the printer and inspect for any remaining bits of paper or foreign objects that might still be inside.
  • Ensure that the paper path is completely clear.

Reset the Printer:

  • While the printer is on, unplug the power cord from the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Wait for 60 seconds.
  • Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
  • Plug the power cord back into the printer.
  • Turn the printer on.

Check the Carriage Path:

  • Open the printer and manually move the carriage (the part that holds the ink cartridges) to see if it moves freely.
  • If the carriage is stuck or does not move freely, gently push it to the center of the printer.

Inspect the Ink Cartridges:

  • Open the printer and check the ink cartridges to ensure they are properly installed.
  • Remove and reinsert the ink cartridges to make sure they are seated correctly.

Update Printer Firmware:

  • Ensure that your printer firmware is up to date. You can check for updates through the HP Smart app or the HP website.

Perform a Hard Reset:

  • Turn the printer on.
  • Disconnect the power cord from the printer while it is still on.
  • Disconnect the power cord from the power source.
  • Wait for 60 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power cord to the power source and the printer.
  • Turn the printer on.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
