If you’re experiencing issues with your HP Envy 6052 and want to do an Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE) reset, here’s a simple guide to help you get your printer back to its original factory settings.
First, make sure your printer is turned on. Then, locate the power button and press and hold it for a few seconds to turn it off. Once it’s off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer. Wait for about 30 seconds to give it enough time to fully reset.
Next, reconnect the power cable and turn the printer back on by pressing the power button. When it powers up, look for the control panel. Many HP printers have a small touchscreen or buttons to navigate. You’ll want to access the menu settings.
On the touchscreen, find the setup or settings menu. From there, look for an option called “Reset” or “Restore Defaults.” Selecting this will usually give you a confirmation prompt—confirm your choice, and the printer will begin the reset process.
If your printer doesn’t have a touchscreen, you can often perform a reset using button combinations. For the HP Envy series, this often involves pressing and holding specific buttons. For example, turn off the printer, then press and hold the wireless and cancel buttons simultaneously while pressing the power button. Keep holding all three for about 15 seconds, then release them. The printer should go through a reset cycle.
Remember, performing an OOBE reset will erase all your previous settings, including Wi-Fi and network configurations. This will restore the printer to its original factory state, which can help resolve ongoing issues.
After the reset completes, set up your printer again as if it were new — connect it to your Wi-Fi, install necessary drivers, and customize your preferences.
Doing this reset can often fix persistent problems and make your HP Envy 6052 work like new. If issues persist after this process, contacting HP support might be your next best step.
