Hi @StaceyW78,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP ENVY Pro 6455 Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

To assist better:

  • Was there any update on the printer recently?
  • Do you see anything after "E", for example, E1, E2, E3, or E4?
  • Was there any paper jam or carriage jam prior to the issue?

While you respond to that, Let's perform a power drain: 

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Remove USB cable, if present.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
  • Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle
