Hi @jrfrph,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
The E4 error on your HP ENVY Pro 6445 indicates a paper jam, even if no paper is visibly stuck. This is common when a small bit of paper is torn inside, a sensor is blocked, or the rollers are misaligned.
Step-by-Step: Clear E4 Error (Paper Jam)
1. Turn Off and Unplug the Printer
- Turn the printer off and unplug it from the power.
- Wait at least 60 seconds before continuing.
2. Check All Paper Paths
- Open the front and rear access doors (if available).
- Remove any loose paper or debris.
Rear access (if applicable):
- Look for a rear door or duplexer, press tabs or latches to remove it.
- Gently remove any visible paper or small bits.
Input Tray & Output Tray:
- Remove all paper.
- Check for stuck sheets or crumpled paper beneath rollers.
3. Open Cartridge Access Door
- Carefully move the ink carriage side to side manually to check for obstructions.
- Look for any small bits of paper or tape.
4. Roller Check
- Clean rollers with a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water.
- Rotate the rollers manually to make sure they spin freely.
5. Plug Back In & Reset
- Plug in the printer and turn it back on.
- Try to print a test page.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
