I have an Envy 6455 printer that has the purple  light blinking which indicates it’s in Auto Wireless Connect mode.  How can I get out of that and use the printer via direct cable from the computer?

Hi @pjs0327,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding disabling auto wireless connect on HP Envy 6455 for wired printing!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try these steps:

Cancel Wireless Setup Mode:

  • Ensure the printer is powered on.
  • Check the control panel or use the HP Smart app to navigate the settings menu.
  • Look for the option to cancel the setup or disable the wireless mode.

Connect via USB Cable:

  • Obtain a USB cable that is compatible with your printer.
  • Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer's USB port and the other end to an available USB port on your computer.

Install the Printer Driver:

  • Automatic Installation:
    • When you connect your printer via USB, Windows may automatically recognize the printer and install the required drivers.
  • Manual Installation:
    • If the drivers do not install automatically, visit the HP Software and Driver Downloads page.
    • Enter your printer model (HP Envy 6455) and download the latest drivers for your operating system.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Set Printer Preferences:

  • Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers on your computer.
  • Right-click on the HP Envy 6455 and select Set as default printer if you want it to be the primary printer for wired tasks.

Print a Test Page:

  • Once installation is completed, try printing a test page to ensure that the printer is responding via the wired connection.

I hope this helps.
