HP Envy 6055e & DeskJet 4155e Setup Guide: Fix Blinking Lights & Wi-Fi Errors, Setting up a new HP Envy 6055e or HP DeskJet 4155e printer should take only a few minutes using the HP Smart app. However, many users run into frustrating obstacles: the Wi-Fi light refuses to stay solid blue, the power button blinks amber, or the control panel displays a flashing “E” error code.

If your setup process has ground to a halt due to setup mode timing out, 5GHz network conflicts, or cartridge alignment failures, this complete guide covers how to decode blinking status lights and resolve Wi-Fi setup errors on both models.

Part 1: Decoding HP Envy 6055e & DeskJet 4155e Blinking Lights(HP Envy 6055e & DeskJet 4155e Setup Guide: Fix Blinking Lights & Wi-Fi Errors)

Unlike printers with full LCD screens, the HP Envy 6055e uses edge lighting bars and light-up buttons, while the DeskJet 4155e uses a small icon-based display. Here is what those flashing lights actually mean:

1. Blinking Amber / Orange Light

  • What it means: Indicates a warning or physical issue—such as an open cartridge access door, missing ink cartridges, or paper jams inside the carriage zone.

  • Quick Fix: Re-seat both the black and tri-color cartridges until they click into place firmly. Close the door completely and verify paper is loaded smoothly in the input tray.

2. Flashing Blue Edge / Wi-Fi Light

  • What it means: The printer is actively in Wi-Fi Setup Mode (or lost connection to your wireless network).

  • Quick Fix: If it blinks blue during initial unboxing, open the HP Smart app on your phone or PC to complete pairing. If setup mode timed out (after 2 hours), you must force a network reset (see Part 3).

3. Alternating Flashing Amber & Blue Lights

  • What it means: Indicates a Wi-Fi connection failure or password mismatch during the setup process.

4. Display Shows Flashing “E” (Error) and Numbers

  • E1 or E2: Paper size mismatch or print spooler queue overload.

  • E3 or E4: Carriage jam or paper jam inside the roller system.

  • E9: Firmware update failure or setup pairing error with HP Smart / HP+ activation.

Part 2: How to Fix Wi-Fi Setup Errors (HP Smart App Not Finding Printer)

If your HP Smart app displays “Printer Not Found” or gets stuck on the “Checking Network Configuration” screen, follow these proven solutions:

Solution 1: Connect to a 2.4 GHz Network Band

The HP DeskJet 4155e and Envy 6055e rely heavily on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi frequencies for initial setup. Modern mesh routers (like eero, Google Wi-Fi, or Xfinity Gateways) blend 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands together under one SSID, causing setup failures.

  1. Temporarily disable the 5 GHz band in your router settings during setup, or connect your smartphone/laptop to the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band.

  2. Turn off Bluetooth on nearby devices except the phone or laptop running the HP Smart app (Bluetooth is used to discover the printer locally during initial pairing).

Solution 2: Clear the HP Smart App Cache & Enable Local Network Permissions

  • On iOS / Mac: Go to Settings > HP Smart > Toggle Local Network Access to ON.

  • On Android: Go to Settings > Apps > HP Smart > Permissions > Allow Location & Nearby Devices.

Part 3: How to Reset Network Settings (Re-Enter Setup Mode)

When an HP printer remains powered on for more than 2 hours without completing the app pairing process, Wi-Fi Setup Mode turns off automatically, causing the HP Smart app to continuously fail. Restoring factory network settings turns Wi-Fi Setup Mode back on.

For HP Envy 6055e Series:

  1. Locate the Wi-Fi Button on the back panel of the printer (located just below the power button).

  2. Press and hold the Wi-Fi button for 5 seconds until the front edge-lighting bar pulses purple.

  3. Open the HP Smart app and select Add Printer.

For HP DeskJet 4155e Series:

  1. Ensure the printer is powered on.

  2. Press and hold the Wireless Button and the Cancel Button (X) simultaneously on the top panel for 3 seconds.

  3. Release both buttons when the Power Button light flashes.

  4. Wait for the Wireless light to blink blue, signaling that setup mode is restored.

Part 4: Step-by-Step Complete HP Smart Setup Checklist

Once you have reset the wireless settings, follow these steps to finish setup without errors:

[Power On Printer]  -->  [Reset Wi-Fi Settings]  -->  [Turn On Smartphone Bluetooth]  -->  [Open HP Smart App]  -->  [Complete Alignment Page]

  1. Power Cycle Everything: Restart your router, printer, and PC/mobile device.

  2. Launch HP Smart: Select the “+” (Add Printer) icon.

  3. Select Your Printer: Tap your HP Envy 6055e or DeskJet 4155e when it appears under Discovered Printers.

  4. Enter Wi-Fi Password: Input your network password carefully (remember: passwords are case-sensitive).

  5. Print Alignment Page: Once connected, the printer will output an alignment sheet. Place it face down on the scanner glass and press the Copy button to complete internal calibration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does my HP printer say “Offline” right after completing setup?

A printer showing “Offline” usually means your router assigned it a dynamic IP address that changed after a restart. Re-adding the printer in Windows/Mac using a static IP address or restarting the Print Spooler service will fix this error.

Why is the light on my HP Envy 6055e glowing solid Amber?

Solid amber lighting indicates an active hardware warning, such as a paper jam, incorrect cartridge seating, or an unclosed ink access cover.

Can I set up the HP DeskJet 4155e without using the HP Smart app?

Yes. You can connect the printer to your computer using a standard USB cable, download the basic printer drivers directly from HP support, and bypass app enrollment.
