Hi @Blondie72,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
Thanks for reaching out — I know how frustrating it can be when your HP ENVY 5661 e-All-in-One Printer just won’t connect and keeps showing a "server is busy" message. Let's get this sorted together.
1. Restart Everything (Printer, Router, Computer)
- Power off your printer, router, and PC.
- Wait about 30 seconds.
- Turn on the router first, and wait for full connection.
- Then, power on the printer and your PC.
2. Reconnect to Web Services
- On the printer’s touchscreen, go to:
- Settings > Web Services > Remove Web Services (confirm if prompted).
- Once removed, go back and select:
- Settings > Web Services Setup > Enable Web Services.
- This forces a fresh connection with HP’s servers.
3. Check Your Internet Connection
- Make sure the printer is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network (not a guest network or public hotspot).
- You can confirm this from the Wireless settings or Network Summary screen.
4. Use HP Smart App (Optional)
- Open the HP Smart app on your computer or smartphone.
- Select your printer > Go to Settings > Web Services or Cloud Services and re-enable from there.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
