@Howdoudothis, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your HP Envy 6000e!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
A red "X" on your HP Envy 6000e printer usually indicates an issue that needs attention. Here are some possible causes and troubleshooting steps:
1. Check the Display Panel for an Error Code
- If the printer display or HP Smart app shows an error code, note it down. It can help pinpoint the exact problem.
2. Check for Paper Jams
- Open the paper tray and printer access doors.
- Remove any stuck paper.
- Close all doors securely.
3. Check Ink Cartridges
- Open the printer's ink cartridge access door.
- Ensure the cartridges are properly installed.
- If low or empty, replace the ink cartridges.
4. Check Wi-Fi or Connectivity
- If your printer is connected wirelessly, make sure it's on the same network as your computer.
- Restart the router and reconnect the printer if needed.
5. Restart the Printer
- Power off the printer, unplug it for 1-2 minutes, then turn it back on.
6. Check for Firmware Updates
- Open HP Smart on your computer or phone.
- Go to printer settings and check for firmware updates.
7. Reset the Printer
- Press and hold the Wireless (Wi-Fi) and Cancel (X) buttons together for about 5 seconds until the power button blinks.
- Wait for the printer to restart.
If the issue persists, let me know the exact error message or code displayed, and I can guide you further! 😊
Take care, and have an amazing day!
