Hi @Larry278 ,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand you are getting the red "X" light on your HP ENVY 6455e printer and print jobs are stuck in the queue, it may indicate an issue with connectivity, a pending error, or paper/ink issues. Here are some steps you can try to resolve it:
 

Clear the Print Queue:

  • On your computer, go to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners.
  • Select your HP printer, click Open Queue, and then Cancel All Documents to clear any stuck jobs.

Power Cycle the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait about 60 seconds.
  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on to see if the red "X" light disappears.

Check for Paper or Ink Issues:

  • Open the paper tray and check for any jams or misaligned paper.
  • Open the ink cartridge area to ensure the cartridges are correctly installed, and check for any low ink notifications on the printer’s display or in the HP Smart app.

Re-establish the Printer Connection:

  • For WiFi-connected printers, check your network connection by rebooting your router.
  • Run HP Smart on your computer and reconnect the printer to your WiFi if needed.

Update Printer Firmware: Update the firmware on an HP printer

  • Using the HP Smart app, go to Printer Settings and check for any available firmware updates, as this can sometimes fix recurring errors.

Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor: HP Print and Scan Doctor

  • If you're on Windows, download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool from HP's website. This tool can diagnose and fix common printer issues.
