I’m so late, can’t get mine to work. We’ve had it sitting here unused for like 4-5 years but it still turns on n all, I have it connected to our WiFi and it says connected, it pulls paper to print but comes out blank, it has ink. :( & I tried searching the numbers in the search bar, it says “sorry no results”. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽
Hi cymaddux31! If you go to HP's home page or to Google, please search for C03753241. It is the document with detailed steps on how to setup the wireless for your printer.
@Joanna Young I’m sorry I just saw your post. There are two different trouble shooting documents I’d recommend. The first one will walk you through the different places in the printer to check for debris that could be causing the recurring paper jams. Please search for C03754704 on HP’s home page or using Google search. The title of the document is “A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer Series”. The second one will walk you checking to ensure you do not have a carriage jam. Quite often a carriage jam will start by presenting itself as a paper jam. Please search for C03754946. The title of the document is “A 'Carriage Jam' Message Displays for HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer Series”.
I got this yesterday.... so far very nice printer... Im using it by wifi and it connects so easy. I love the wireless capability... and you dont need to turn it off, just stand by so when ever you print something, the printer just automatically turn itself on and print.. so far Good.... :)
Unfortunately I had to return the printer because of hardware malfunctions, Here's a intriguing question does HP even stress test these printers? Cause this printer couldn't print more than one page at a time, honestly it started acting like s**t after a while.
Hi, when I choose to print a photo, it only prints the photo at the bottom/top middle (depending on how you look at it) part of the page. Is it possible to change how large the printed image is to cover up the entire piece of paper?
Hi Wolfgang Hoffstadter, The printer can handle printing a full page photo, but getting the photo to expand to a full page is dependent on the software that you are using. Most photo editing software will allow you expand a photo to fill a page. One limitation is the resolution of the picture and whether it will look ok when expanded.
i can not copy or scan anything with my new hp printer, but i could print out a few documents....however while I was trying to solve the problems of copying, now I can not print as well.....is it some fixable problem or damaged product which I bought?
Hi Renz Carl Supnet. This printer can be put onto your wifi network right from the front panel of the printer. Once the printer is on your wifi, you can print to it from your Smartphone. How you would print from your Smartphone depends on whether it is an Android or Apple device. If you would like to know more information about the printer, please search for C03784120 on HP's home page or using Google search. That document number is for the user guide for the Envy 4500 series of printers.
Excellent info for new beginner / customers like me, since this is my first HP printer to go with my new HP Pavilion . Following the instructions from the video was a breeze. Thanks a million.
Do I need special paper for this printer? The paper I put in keeps jamming. I just opened it today and tried printing a few documents. It worked ok for 4 pages then ripped a few more and then tore through the rest? Any thoughts?
Hi, the printer isn't working for me. I mean, my computer recognizes it and everything, but when I go to print something, my computer will say "printing" and that the document has been sent, but nothing prints. I use a USB cable, and my computer is Windows 7, 64 bit. I'd appreciate any help, thanks!
Hi Romael Gibson, The cartridges that came with the printer are regular cartridges unless they are marked setup. The setup cartridges are designed specifically to be used when you setup the printer. They print about the same number of pages as standard-sized replacement cartridges. If you wish to learn more about setup cartridges please search for C02068088 on HP’s home page or using Google search. The title of the document is “What are SETUP Cartridges?”.
I just bought the 4501 Envy and it didnt come with a power supply cord. Are they supposed to not come with them? I did get the USB cord though, but I cant seem to get power through it. Do I have to buy the power cord separately??
Hello Justin. I just checked the specs to be sure, the power cord should be included in the box, but the USB cord needs to be purchased separately. The part number for the power cord is 8120-6313. If you go to HP's Partsurfer web site and enter the product number for your Envy 4501 you can find the part number and it has a picture of the power cord.
Hello! I was looking all over internet, but could not find an answer. Im looking to buy a new printer. I narrowed it down to either canon or HP. For HP, there is 3 models I consider: Envy 4500 Envy 5530 Photosmart 5520 What is the main difference between them? Which one is newer/better? I tried to read on your website, but its to no help at all. It says "great printer, buy it" - for all of them :) Anyhow, if you could quickly tell me, which of them suits whom, I would appreciate it! PM me. Thx!
Yes, I can get the printer set up but I have not been able to get the print drivers to install on my Windows 7 laptop. I can print from my Kindle Fire and iPhone, but not from my laptop. Is there a video showing how to get to the drivers, successfully? When i get to them, I can down load them, but they will not run.
I loaded the black and colour cartridge as the video suggested, but when it came to the print the alignment page the printer only did it in colour, i turned the printer off and took out the two cartridges and tried it again and again the printer is only printing in colour! I need to print a report tonight!
Hi chrissy burke, Please search for C03768188 on HP's home page or using Google search. It is the trouble shooting document for when the printer doesn’t print one or all of the colors.
I have a question about the wireless setup (which wasn't shown here). I was able to set up a direct wireless connection, but the annoyance is that I have to switch the computer's WiFi connection from the public network (it's in a dormitory) and the printer connection. This works, but is very inconvenient. Is there any way to set this up so the computer can connect both to the internet and the printer wirelessly, or must I get a USB cable?
Terry Whitaker There isn’t a way to be connected to both at the same time. As you are in a dorm, I would recommend purchasing a printer style USB cable.
Rosa Dominguez Yes it does. This printer has a black ink cartridge and tri-color ink cartridge. IF you search for C03755986 on HP’s home page or using Google search you will find the printer specifications for the Envy 4500 series of printers which indicate which cartridges are required.
Hi! It's would be best to run the alignment again from the front panel of the printer. Please search for C03784120 on HP's home page or using Google. It is the user guide for your printer. On page 63 it has the steps on how to run the alignment from the front panel of your printer.
Hi HP Support, I've just bought HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4515 and have set up as shown in the video. The chalange is that after I enter the HP Cartridge, the display is stuck at the screen having the HP logo and has 2 buttons to left and right bottom (Retail Demo & Setup) and is not acknowledging the entering of cartridge's. It is not responding when I manually click on them (Retail Demo or Setup). I've also switched off and on the Printer but nothing changes. Please advise how to move forward. Thanks Gautam

Jonathan Møller Nielsen Some models may come with a USB cable, depending on where the printer was purchased. The box should indicate if the cable is included or not.
Hi, please tell me how to change the setting from dark to normal or light when using the black ink, each cartridge only prints like 100 pages or less, thanks

Hello I'm interested in buying one of these. Hp envy 4501. My problem is we don't have any pc. Can I set it up as standalone? And print with my smartphone. We have wifi.
I have this printer and I've been trying to install it on my mac but the installation keeps failing could it be I need an update installed? Since I have OS X Yosemite? As on the disc this software is not on it.
Hi Euzalex Coronado, Please search for C00853819 on HP's home page or using Google search. It is a document that reviews the use of refilled ink cartridges versus original genuine HP ink cartridges.
Just got my printer but I would like to have the option to print using a cable because I can't print wirelessly due to university rules. I notice that there is another port where a USB cable seems to be able to fit. However the USB isn't supplied, why is this? And where can I get this from?
I just bought one last week...on the box say's HP Envy 4502 but the Installation Disc say;s 4500 series are they the same, I'm trying to sign in my Device for the HP Connected..but it's saying my device is not connected to get my claim number?
Hello! Yes the Envy 4502 is a member of the Envy 4500 series of printers. Once your printer is setup on your home wireless network, you can then enabled web services to get the claim code. Please search for C03753241 on HP's home page or using Google search. It is the document with the detailed steps to put your printer onto your wireless network. If you search for C02940150 you will find it is the document with the steps for getting your claim code and customizing your printer's email address.
Hi! The claim code is a unique identification number assigned to your printer. The claim code is needed to register your printer with an HP Connected or HP ePrintCenter account. You don't need the claim code to install the printer onto your home wireless network.
***** O.k. so I'm connected to HP Connected that I can able to log-in does that mean my device is registered..bec. when I go to add+ device it's saying ..."It looks like you haven't added any devices to your HP Connected account."?
Howdy Al. HP Connected is not part of registering your printer with HP.com. To add your printer to your HP Connected account you will need to print your web services information sheet with your claim code (tap ePrint icon, choose settings, then print report). Once you have the claim code you can add your printer to your HP Connected account.
+AFL I think you are describing the carriage. If you have a carriage jam, please follow the steps in the "A 'Carriage Jam' Message Displays for HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer Series" document ( ow.ly/WFoZj ).
+Shanna Biddle There is a document for that error. It is titled "HP Printers - Resolving 'Problem with Printhead,' 'Printer Failure,' 'Ink System Failure,' or a '0x...' or a 'C2...' Error". Please follow the steps within the document your error message. To find the document please search for C03081973 on HP's home page or using Google search.

Hi Adam - thanks for informative video. I've purchased a Envy 4502 today. I am able to print wirelessly on both my laptops and from my galaxy tab 2 tablet. I am however unable to set up it from my phone. I've downloaded HP eprint share and there are no printers on it. When I press add, it asked for printers email address? I've used my email address I've set it up on, but it rejects it. If I connect to documents its wanting host, friendly name,user name & password. I'm am normally ok with the basic installation on products, but I just stuck. Can you help.
Hi George Davidson, The HP ePrint app is requesting the printer’s ePrint email address. Your phone, if it isn’t connected to the same network the printer is connected to, it will not see the printer. To setup the ePrint feature you will first need to get the printer’s claim code. Please search for C03550536 on HP’s home page or using Google search. The title of the document is “Getting the Printer Claim Code”. Once you have the printer claim code please search for C02940150. The title of that document is “Setting Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint”. This will walk you through adding your printer to an HP ePrintCenter account or HP Connected account. It will also walk you through how to customize the printer’s ePrint email address. For additional reference please search for C01923321. The title of the document is “HP ePrint Mobile App FAQs”. If you are going to need to scan from the printer directly to either of your mobile devices please download and install HP’s All-in-One Printer Remote Mobile app. When the mobile devices are connected to the same network the printer is connected to, you will be able to scan directly to the mobile device.

I just picked up this printer. I'm following the directions, but when it gets to the part where I have to put the ink it, it says that there is a jam. I've checked all over and there is no packaging left in it.
Hi! Let's try doing what is known as a power reset on your printer. While your printer is turned on please remove the power cord from the rear of the printer. Please remove the other end of the power cord from the wall outlet. Please wait a full 60 seconds and then plug the power cord in at both ends. If the printer doesn't turn on by itself please power on the printer. If you see a message referring to an improper shutdown, please choose OK/Continue/Next/etc. That should remove the error message you are seeing. If not please let me know and we can go from there.
***** Thanks for the response. Unfortunately it didn't seem to work. It still says that it is jammed and that I can't get the ink slots out to load them.
Thank you for the updated information. Please search for C03755986 on HP's home page or using Google search. Solution One discusses the print cartridges and what could be causing the error you are receiving.
Help! My printer got jammed when I was printing the alignment page, and once I removed it, it moved on to the next step in the set up process without allowing me to reprint the alignment page. Now, I fear I have an unaligned scanner! What can I do?
Leslie Lozano Is the printer still jamming when you print a test page from the printer? Are you able to print an alignment sheet from the computer using the Full Feature Software? What version of operating system is installed on your computer?
I've taken everything out of the printer. When I go to print the alignment page,there's a paper jam. No idea what's causing it. Followed instructions to the letter

Hi HP, I need help. I'm trying to install my printer (Envy 4500) in wireless network but it keeps failing. There is no specific error, just says cannot connect to the printer. I've tried the latest driver and the CD and the HP doctor. Googled every solution I can find and I still can't get it work. My window is 8.1. any help is appreciated.
Hi fluffymasterchief, You should be able to connect the printer to your wireless network from the front panel of the printer. The instructions can be found in your user guide on page 53 in the section titled "To connect the printer". To find your user guide please search for C03784120 on HP's home page or using Google search.
Yeah, I did connect my printer to my wireless network. The printer shows up in the network setting and I can have scans sent to my computer via network. The problem I have is that I can't seem to install my driver. Whenever I'm running an installation program and it gets to the point where I connect my printer wirelessly, installation fails because it cannot connect to my printer. And then I have to abort and I have no driver so I can't print.
Hi flufflymasterchief, Thank you for the additional information. Have you tried the Printer Install Wizard (PIW) for Windows 7 and Windows 8? If not please search for C02681060. It is the a document about using the PIW to find the best driver for your printer. It should find your printer as long as it's on the same network as the your computer. If not before you start the installation process print a network configuration report from the front panel of the printer. You should be able to enter the printer's ip address to assist the program to find the printer so it can connect.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it didn't work. PIW finds my printer alright over the network and downloads a driver. But the driver installation fails at the same last step - find and connect to the printer wirelessly. Installation can find the printer, it just can't connect to it. Is there anyway that I can force install a driver without running an installation program?
Hello again flufflymasterchief, Please search for C00836418 on HP's home page or using Google search. It is a trouble shooting document for when the progress bar on the software installation stops or stalls. Each supported operating system has a section dedicated to it.
maryam vichi If you do not have the printer plugged directly into the wall do so. If the issue persists unplug it hold the power button down for 30 seconds and plug it back in and turn it on. If it still persists contact our Technical Support.
+Catherine Velazquez I am presuming that your laptop is running a Windows operating system. Yes, you can print from your laptop to this printer. I've included the "HP ENVY 4500 Series Printer - Wireless Printer Setup (Windows)" document ( ow.ly/4naEht ) for you. It will walk you through installing the printer driver onto your laptop so you can print from the laptop.
LOL, without this video I would have been pretty angry. Thanks. Bought a refurb printer at Amazon and it only had the single quick guide sheet that told me to remove packing materials inside the cover that were no longer there. Took me all of 5 minutes to give that very first part up, the paper thing would have stumped me as well.

I tried downloading the software for this printer, however it keeps saying the latest software isn't available at this time. Please contact your manufacturer. What do I do about this?
Hi adavila104, Are you still having the problem today? I was able to get to the Windows 8.1 and Mac 10.9 (the most recent operating system versions from Microsoft and Apple) driver download page without any difficulty. If you are still having problems please and you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8 you can always download and install HP's Printer Install Wizard.

I just bought this printer.It was the best vedio for a person like me who know nothing about the printers.Thanks
+R Atwal That's wonderful to hear! Please reach out if you run into anything you are not sure about. 😊
You're welcome. I'm glad it helped.

I’m so late, can’t get mine to work. We’ve had it sitting here unused for like 4-5 years but it still turns on n all, I have it connected to our WiFi and it says connected, it pulls paper to print but comes out blank, it has ink. :( & I tried searching the numbers in the search bar, it says “sorry no results”. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽
setting up wireless is most important part, boo for skipping it!
Hi cymaddux31! If you go to HP's home page or to Google, please search for C03753241. It is the document with detailed steps on how to setup the wireless for your printer.
I am so grateful for this video. We learned how to load paper correctly and thus stopped having paper jams and related problems. Thanks!
Tiffastic Nguyen You're welcome!
I opened the box and just had no idea how to set it up. This helped me set it up in minutes. thanks!
Alicia Sandoval Glad it helped!
Excellent review. Clear, easy to understand, good audio and good camera work.
@Joanna Young
I’m sorry I just saw your post. There are two different trouble shooting documents I’d recommend.
The first one will walk you through the different places in the printer to check for debris that could be causing the recurring paper jams. Please search for C03754704 on HP’s home page or using Google search. The title of the document is “A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer Series”.
The second one will walk you checking to ensure you do not have a carriage jam. Quite often a carriage jam will start by presenting itself as a paper jam. Please search for C03754946. The title of the document is “A 'Carriage Jam' Message Displays for HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer Series”.
+HP Printer Support LOL If only it were this easy to set up
I got this yesterday.... so far very nice printer... Im using it by wifi and it connects so easy. I love the wireless capability... and you dont need to turn it off, just stand by so when ever you print something, the printer just automatically turn itself on and print.. so far Good.... :)
Is there any way to get back to the scan alignment page after setup is complete?
thx very much for the video just got this as a gift from my mother who also has this printer at home
RyuTakeru
That's great to hear!
Unfortunately I had to return the printer because of hardware malfunctions,
Here's a intriguing question does HP even stress test these printers?
Cause this printer couldn't print more than one page at a time, honestly it started acting like s**t after a while.
Hi, when I choose to print a photo, it only prints the photo at the bottom/top middle (depending on how you look at it) part of the page. Is it possible to change how large the printed image is to cover up the entire piece of paper?
Hi Wolfgang Hoffstadter,
The printer can handle printing a full page photo, but getting the photo to expand to a full page is dependent on the software that you are using. Most photo editing software will allow you expand a photo to fill a page. One limitation is the resolution of the picture and whether it will look ok when expanded.
i can not copy or scan anything with my new hp printer, but i could print out a few documents....however while I was trying to solve the problems of copying, now I can not print as well.....is it some fixable problem or damaged product which I bought?
Hi Renz Carl Supnet. This printer can be put onto your wifi network right from the front panel of the printer. Once the printer is on your wifi, you can print to it from your Smartphone. How you would print from your Smartphone depends on whether it is an Android or Apple device. If you would like to know more information about the printer, please search for C03784120 on HP's home page or using Google search. That document number is for the user guide for the Envy 4500 series of printers.
HP Printer Support
Just bought this printer today it's amasing! So eay to use love how easy it is to insert the ink, well done.
Excellent info for new beginner / customers like me, since this is my first HP printer to go with my new HP Pavilion . Following the instructions from the video was a breeze. Thanks a million.
That is great to hear, and I am happy you like the hardware.
Do I need special paper for this printer? The paper I put in keeps jamming. I just opened it today and tried printing a few documents. It worked ok for 4 pages then ripped a few more and then tore through the rest? Any thoughts?
Hi, the printer isn't working for me. I mean, my computer recognizes it and everything, but when I go to print something, my computer will say "printing" and that the document has been sent, but nothing prints. I use a USB cable, and my computer is Windows 7, 64 bit.
I'd appreciate any help, thanks!
Would this connect to an ipad in the middle of a cornfield with no internet or router?
Is the ink that comes with the printer a regular ink cartridge or is it a sample with less ink?
Hi Romael Gibson,
The cartridges that came with the printer are regular cartridges unless they are marked setup. The setup cartridges are designed specifically to be used when you setup the printer. They print about the same number of pages as standard-sized replacement cartridges. If you wish to learn more about setup cartridges please search for C02068088 on HP’s home page or using Google search. The title of the document is “What are SETUP Cartridges?”.
I just bought the 4501 Envy and it didnt come with a power supply cord. Are they supposed to not come with them? I did get the USB cord though, but I cant seem to get power through it. Do I have to buy the power cord separately??
Hello Justin. I just checked the specs to be sure, the power cord should be included in the box, but the USB cord needs to be purchased separately. The part number for the power cord is 8120-6313. If you go to HP's Partsurfer web site and enter the product number for your Envy 4501 you can find the part number and it has a picture of the power cord.
Hello!
I was looking all over internet, but could not find an answer. Im looking to buy a new printer. I narrowed it down to either canon or HP.
For HP, there is 3 models I consider:
Envy 4500
Envy 5530
Photosmart 5520
What is the main difference between them? Which one is newer/better?
I tried to read on your website, but its to no help at all. It says "great printer, buy it" - for all of them :)
Anyhow, if you could quickly tell me, which of them suits whom, I would appreciate it! PM me. Thx!
Is the tri-color just if u want to have color or do u have to put it on
Erik 46 Yes you should be able to print without it.
Yes, I can get the printer set up but I have not been able to get the print drivers to install on my Windows 7 laptop. I can print from my Kindle Fire and iPhone, but not from my laptop. Is there a video showing how to get to the drivers, successfully? When i get to them, I can down load them, but they will not run.
+Matthew Please try following this document carefully in order to resolve the software driver download error:hp.care/2c8eOcF
+Matthew Please try following this document carefully in order to resolve the software driver download error:hp.care/2c8eOcF
does it break easly
I loaded the black and colour cartridge as the video suggested, but when it came to the print the alignment page the printer only did it in colour, i turned the printer off and took out the two cartridges and tried it again and again the printer is only printing in colour! I need to print a report tonight!
Hi chrissy burke,
Please search for C03768188 on HP's home page or using Google search. It is the trouble shooting document for when the printer doesn’t print one or all of the colors.
I have a question about the wireless setup (which wasn't shown here). I was able to set up a direct wireless connection, but the annoyance is that I have to switch the computer's WiFi connection from the public network (it's in a dormitory) and the printer connection. This works, but is very inconvenient. Is there any way to set this up so the computer can connect both to the internet and the printer wirelessly, or must I get a USB cable?
Terry Whitaker
There isn’t a way to be connected to both at the same time. As you are in a dorm, I would recommend purchasing a printer style USB cable.
Dose the printer print in different colors?
Rosa Dominguez Yes it does. This printer has a black ink cartridge and tri-color ink cartridge. IF you search for C03755986 on HP’s home page or using Google search you will find the printer specifications for the Envy 4500 series of printers which indicate which cartridges are required.
If I choose to set up with wifi can I change to usb later on if wifi is unavailable?
B hasten If you setup your printer on a wireless network, you can always connect it with a USB cable at a later date.
Please how can I use my HP Envy 4500 e-All-in-One printer as a faxing maching?
I made a mistake and put the scanning paper on the top left corner of the scanner. Would this make a difference or can I redo the aliment procedure?
Hi! It's would be best to run the alignment again from the front panel of the printer. Please search for C03784120 on HP's home page or using Google. It is the user guide for your printer. On page 63 it has the steps on how to run the alignment from the front panel of your printer.
I had the wireless working for awhile and now it won’t connect to my iPad. How do you reset the wireless to connect to an iPad?
+Robin Pankratz Please refer this document to know about connecting your wireless printer: bit.ly/2XZ9hxD
i just bought a new printer , thanks for the help with the unboxing and setting it up !

Hi HP Support,
I've just bought HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4515 and have set up as shown in the video. The chalange is that after I enter the HP Cartridge, the display is stuck at the screen having the HP logo and has 2 buttons to left and right bottom (Retail Demo & Setup) and is not acknowledging the entering of cartridge's. It is not responding when I manually click on them (Retail Demo or Setup). I've also switched off and on the Printer but nothing changes.
Please advise how to move forward.
Thanks

Hi there, is there no USB cable with the printer?
Jonathan Møller Nielsen Some models may come with a USB cable, depending on where the printer was purchased. The box should indicate if the cable is included or not.
Does anybody know how to set the right date so i can print out calendars on the envy 4500?
Hi, please tell me how to change the setting from dark to normal or light when using the black ink, each cartridge only prints like 100 pages or less, thanks

This is an awesome printer! Thank you HP for making such a great product!
I have a question? this printer will work even without genuine hp cartridges? I mean a cheap refillable cartridges? thanks
Hi Euzalex Coronado,
Please search for C00853819 on HP's home page or using Google search. It is a document that reviews the use of refilled ink cartridges versus original genuine HP ink cartridges.
Just got my printer but I would like to have the option to print using a cable because I can't print wirelessly due to university rules. I notice that there is another port where a USB cable seems to be able to fit. However the USB isn't supplied, why is this? And where can I get this from?
I just bought one last week...on the box say's HP Envy 4502 but the Installation Disc say;s 4500 series are they the same, I'm trying to sign in my Device for the HP Connected..but it's saying my device is not connected to get my claim number?
Hello!
Yes the Envy 4502 is a member of the Envy 4500 series of printers.
Once your printer is setup on your home wireless network, you can then enabled web services to get the claim code. Please search for C03753241 on HP's home page or using Google search. It is the document with the detailed steps to put your printer onto your wireless network. If you search for C02940150 you will find it is the document with the steps for getting your claim code and customizing your printer's email address.
so purpose for the claim code is for the wireless...right?
Hi! The claim code is a unique identification number assigned to your printer. The claim code is needed to register your printer with an HP Connected or HP ePrintCenter account. You don't need the claim code to install the printer onto your home wireless network.
***** O.k. so I'm connected to HP Connected that I can able to log-in does that mean my device is registered..bec. when I go to add+ device it's saying ..."It looks like you haven't added any devices to your HP Connected account."?
Howdy Al. HP Connected is not part of registering your printer with HP.com. To add your printer to your HP Connected account you will need to print your web services information sheet with your claim code (tap ePrint icon, choose settings, then print report). Once you have the claim code you can add your printer to your HP Connected account.
when i open the lid those purple and black thing wont move in to the middle.......
+AFL I think you are describing the carriage. If you have a carriage jam, please follow the steps in the "A 'Carriage Jam' Message Displays for HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer Series" document ( ow.ly/WFoZj ).
Thanks for showing me how to peel a strip of plastic off
+Jackson Pedlar I am glad to know that the video was very useful to you.
Awesome vid but when I power it on it comes up straight away with ERROR CODE 0X83COOOOA.. any ideas?
+Shanna Biddle There is a document for that error. It is titled "HP Printers - Resolving 'Problem with Printhead,' 'Printer Failure,' 'Ink System Failure,' or a '0x...' or a 'C2...' Error". Please follow the steps within the document your error message. To find the document please search for C03081973 on HP's home page or using Google search.
Please also search for C03755986 as it is the Envy 4500 printer specifications and the document lists the cartridges that the Envy 4500 uses depending on your location in the world.
This was very helpful. I can never figure out those little diagrams that come with most electronic products. Thanks!
Amri R. Glad the video helped you get your issue resolved!
I haven't been able to figure out how to SCAN using my HP Chromebook 14. I got the printing down, but now I need some help figuring out how to scan to my Chromebook. Thank you in advance, HP Printer Support!

Please search for C03517150 on HP’s home page or using Google search. The title of the document is “How to Scan: Windows XP”. I know you are using Windows XP but the document has a section on how to scan without HP software. The steps for scanning from the embedded web server (EWS) will walk you through how to scan from your Chromebook using the printer’s EWS.
Hi Adam - thanks for informative video. I've purchased a Envy 4502 today. I am able to print wirelessly on both my laptops and from my galaxy tab 2 tablet. I am however unable to set up it from my phone. I've downloaded HP eprint share and there are no printers on it. When I press add, it asked for printers email address? I've used my email address I've set it up on, but it rejects it. If I connect to documents its wanting host, friendly name,user name & password. I'm am normally ok with the basic installation on products, but I just stuck. Can you help.
Hi George Davidson,
The HP ePrint app is requesting the printer’s ePrint email address. Your phone, if it isn’t connected to the same network the printer is connected to, it will not see the printer. To setup the ePrint feature you will first need to get the printer’s claim code. Please search for C03550536 on HP’s home page or using Google search. The title of the document is “Getting the Printer Claim Code”.
Once you have the printer claim code please search for C02940150. The title of that document is “Setting Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint”. This will walk you through adding your printer to an HP ePrintCenter account or HP Connected account. It will also walk you through how to customize the printer’s ePrint email address.
For additional reference please search for C01923321. The title of the document is “HP ePrint Mobile App FAQs”. If you are going to need to scan from the printer directly to either of your mobile devices please download and install HP’s All-in-One Printer Remote Mobile app. When the mobile devices are connected to the same network the printer is connected to, you will be able to scan directly to the mobile device. If you search for C03561640, the title of the document is “HP All-in-One Printer Remote Mobile App FAQs”.
I just picked up this printer. I'm following the directions, but when it gets to the part where I have to put the ink it, it says that there is a jam. I've checked all over and there is no packaging left in it.
Hi! Let's try doing what is known as a power reset on your printer. While your printer is turned on please remove the power cord from the rear of the printer. Please remove the other end of the power cord from the wall outlet. Please wait a full 60 seconds and then plug the power cord in at both ends. If the printer doesn't turn on by itself please power on the printer. If you see a message referring to an improper shutdown, please choose OK/Continue/Next/etc. That should remove the error message you are seeing. If not please let me know and we can go from there.
***** Thanks for the response. Unfortunately it didn't seem to work. It still says that it is jammed and that I can't get the ink slots out to load them.
Thank you for the updated information. Please search for C03755986 on HP's home page or using Google search. Solution One discusses the print cartridges and what could be causing the error you are receiving.
Help! My printer got jammed when I was printing the alignment page, and once I removed it, it moved on to the next step in the set up process without allowing me to reprint the alignment page. Now, I fear I have an unaligned scanner! What can I do?
Leslie Lozano Is the printer still jamming when you print a test page from the printer? Are you able to print an alignment sheet from the computer using the Full Feature Software? What version of operating system is installed on your computer?
Thanks for sharing, It's really help me for self setup.
+Chenthil Vel I am glad to know that the video was useful to you.
I've taken everything out of the printer. When I go to print the alignment page,there's a paper jam. No idea what's causing it. Followed instructions to the letter
James Moore Please follow the steps in the document titled “A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer Series”. It has the different areas to check for debris. One area that is commonly missed is checking the bottom of the printer. To find the document please search for C03754704 on HP’s home page or using Google search.
I removed all of the packaging but it says there's still packaging in the machine and it won't go any further.
mrSmiley1100 Please use the document titled “Setting Up the Printer Hardware for the HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer Series” as a checklist to ensure that all packaging was removed. There might be a small piece of tape on something that just happens to be where a sensor is. To find the document please search for C03745931 on HP’s home page or using Google search.
If all the packing has been removed, please try doing a reset of the printer. At the step where you are plugging the printer back into the power source, please ensure that you are plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet. The steps to reset the printer can be found in the document titled “'Reset Power' Message Displays on the All-in-One” as Solution Two. To find the document please search for C01059445 on HP’s home page or using Google search.

Please how can I use my HP Envy 4500 e-All-in-One printer as a faxing machine?
Olakenny Keke
The Envy 4500 doesn’t come with analog faxing capabilities, however the printer is eFax compatible. eFax® is a service provided by j2 Global Communications, Inc. , not Hewlett-Packard. eFax allows you to send and receive faxes using the Internet instead of a phone line. HP cannot guarantee the eFax service. This information can be found in the document titled “Getting Started with eFax”. Please search for C02970945 on HP’s home page or using Google search. The Envy 4500 printer is not one of the printers that comes with the free eFax account.
My officejet 4500 stoppped printing. When I hit the print button, the paper goes in and comes out about 25% and it stops ( without printing). Then I have to pull the paper out. When I opened up the printer, I found a spring left hanging inside. I don't know where it goes. I have attached the spring for your reference. Please help guys!!!

Hi Dana Rivarde,
Please search for C03081973 on HP's home page or using Google search. It is the trouble shooting document for the Envy 4500 series of printers that have an error message like yours. The Envy 4501 is a member of the Envy 4500 series. The document has a list of detailed steps to follow. Before trouble shooting please check to see which ink cartridges the printer uses as the steps to follow are dependent on the type of cartridges. And to save you time this printer does not have a removable printhead.
My printer is not printing ANYTHING properly. I couldn't get the adjustment page to print, every time I try to print a picture or something it jams or messes up the page or even just prints some random sporadic black lines. Please Help,
I now own this AIO, and I've a question: May I close the paper tray with paper inside, or may I not? Thanks so much.
dwsh1 I would not recommend it as it will curl the paper and possibly tear it.
can you use this with chromebook 14 i hope so cause that is what hp said
Hi! Yes you can use this printer with your Chromebook. You can print by using Google Cloud Print or using HP's ePrint. Please search for C02817255 on HP's home page.

Hi HP, I need help. I'm trying to install my printer (Envy 4500) in wireless network but it keeps failing. There is no specific error, just says cannot connect to the printer. I've tried the latest driver and the CD and the HP doctor. Googled every solution I can find and I still can't get it work. My window is 8.1. any help is appreciated.
Hi fluffymasterchief,
You should be able to connect the printer to your wireless network from the front panel of the printer. The instructions can be found in your user guide on page 53 in the section titled "To connect the printer". To find your user guide please search for C03784120 on HP's home page or using Google search.
Yeah, I did connect my printer to my wireless network. The printer shows up in the network setting and I can have scans sent to my computer via network. The problem I have is that I can't seem to install my driver. Whenever I'm running an installation program and it gets to the point where I connect my printer wirelessly, installation fails because it cannot connect to my printer. And then I have to abort and I have no driver so I can't print.
Hi flufflymasterchief,
Thank you for the additional information. Have you tried the Printer Install Wizard (PIW) for Windows 7 and Windows 8? If not please search for C02681060. It is the a document about using the PIW to find the best driver for your printer. It should find your printer as long as it's on the same network as the your computer. If not before you start the installation process print a network configuration report from the front panel of the printer. You should be able to enter the printer's ip address to assist the program to find the printer so it can connect.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it didn't work. PIW finds my printer alright over the network and downloads a driver. But the driver installation fails at the same last step - find and connect to the printer wirelessly. Installation can find the printer, it just can't connect to it. Is there anyway that I can force install a driver without running an installation program?
Hello again flufflymasterchief,
Please search for C00836418 on HP's home page or using Google search. It is a trouble shooting document for when the progress bar on the software installation stops or stalls. Each supported operating system has a section dedicated to it.
Just got my printer and I installed the software but the printer stays blank and nothing shows up just the hp with a loading sign
maryam vichi If you do not have the printer plugged directly into the wall do so. If the issue persists unplug it hold the power button down for 30 seconds and plug it back in and turn it on. If it still persists contact our Technical Support.
thank you
is this printer only good for tablets and phones ? or i can connect it to my laptop as well ?
+Catherine Velazquez I am presuming that your laptop is running a Windows operating system. Yes, you can print from your laptop to this printer. I've included the "HP ENVY 4500 Series Printer - Wireless Printer Setup (Windows)" document ( ow.ly/4naEht ) for you. It will walk you through installing the printer driver onto your laptop so you can print from the laptop.
LOL, without this video I would have been pretty angry. Thanks. Bought a refurb printer at Amazon and it only had the single quick guide sheet that told me to remove packing materials inside the cover that were no longer there. Took me all of 5 minutes to give that very first part up, the paper thing would have stumped me as well.

Is there a way to make the printer quieter? It is waaaaay too loud.
+SwiftyIfty You can turn Quiet Mode on or off from the printer control panel. Try the following instructions from the document:hp.care/2jJ1dcP
I tried downloading the software for this printer, however it keeps saying the latest software isn't available at this time. Please contact your manufacturer. What do I do about this?
Hi adavila104,
Are you still having the problem today? I was able to get to the Windows 8.1 and Mac 10.9 (the most recent operating system versions from Microsoft and Apple) driver download page without any difficulty. If you are still having problems please and you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8 you can always download and install HP's Printer Install Wizard. It will search for the best driver for your computer's operating system and the printer. Please search for C02681060 on HP's home page or using Google search. It is the document about HP's Printer Install Wizard.
Hi, i have removed all packinging but it says me that there's still pieces of packaging inside. I haven't found a solution in your site. :(
Does this Setting up process apply to HP Ink Advantage 3545 e-All-in-One Printer?
Hi Amlanview,
Yes, the information in this video applies to the Deskjet Ink Advantage 3545 printer.
My on and off button comes on when I plug it up. Flashes then stays on and you can not turn it off by pressing, and the screen never shows anything but HP and the bar
sandra edwards Please try doing a power reset of the printer ensuring you plug the printer directly into a wall outlet. If you are unsure of the steps, please search for C01059445 on HP’s home page or using Google search. The title of the document is “'Reset Power' Message Displays on the All-in-One”.
It is important that any HP consumer printer be plugged directly into a wall outlet. Please search for C00597016. The title of the document is “Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector”. The document mentions Laserjets specifically but it is applicable to all HP consumer printers.
My laptop would not be able to discover my new wireless HP Envy 4500 printer. I have configured the printer itself. I got the IP address and hostname, the printer has blue light on. I go to Window 7 -> Add a printer I did not find my new printer in the panel. Why??
Sharon Wang I suggest you do a Google search for "c02073861" and you will find an HP Support page: Find and Fix Common Printer Problems Using HP Diagnostic Tools for Windows, which has a tool called HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows, which will walk you through the rest of the setup process.

+VERONICA SER Please load the short edge of the photo paper into the tray based on your printer type. If the paper has a perforated tab for handling the photo after it prints, load the paper so the tab faces up or towards you to prevent printing on it. try the following document in order to print photos:hp.care/2pKRQhu and hp.care/2qJInGy

+Prakash royal thanks for reaching out!
I understand that you need to know about the use of the CD.
I'll do my best to assist you.
Typically the CD is used for installing the drivers, Alternatively, the drivers can be installed from the websites.
