Connecting your HP Envy 6000 to Wi-Fi is simple and only takes a few minutes. But before you try, make sure that your Wi-Fi network is running smoothly and that your printer is close enough to the router. 

Using the HP App to connect to wifi:

1. Download the HP Smart app on your phone or computer if you haven’t already; it’s the easiest way to get started. 
2. In the app, select “Add Printer.”
3. You will be guided through connecting your HP Envy 6000 to Wi-Fi.

If your HP Envy 6000 is still not connecting to Wi-Fi, you can try restarting both the printer and your router. Once restarted, follow the normal set-up steps in the HP Smart app or via WPS. Some connection issues may stem from network settings or temporary glitches in the Wi-Fi signal, so giving it a fresh start can work wonders.

What are the Disadvantages of HP Envy?

Like any printer, the HP Envy 6000 has some drawbacks. Here are the main downsides: 

• Slower Print Speeds: The Envy prints at around 10ppm, which is fine for home use but may cause some frustration in an office environment. 
• Limited Paper Handling: Most HP Envy printers have small input trays, meaning you’ll need to refill paper frequently. They also lack multiple paper trays, which limits the ability to load different paper types simultaneously.
• Manual Duplex Printing: The Envy model doesn't feature automatic duplex printing (double sided printing). You'll need to manually flip the pages, which can be annoying for large documents.

Overall, the HP Envy 6000 is a high quality home printer. But, for small teams and high-volume printers, we recommend upgrading to the HP Officejet or LaserJet which have faster print speeds, larger print trays and more premium features.
