Use a passkey to authenticate Bluetooth devices
You can set the security level of the HP Photosmart to either Low or High. The default
security setting is Low. Low level security does not require authentication.

Low: This is the default security setting. Low level security does not require a
passkey, as it does not support authentication. Any Bluetooth device within range can
print to it.

High: High level security requires a passkey, as it supports authentication. The
Bluetooth device must provide a passkey, before the HP Photosmart will allow the
device to send a print job to it.

NOTE:

The HP Photosmart ships with a predefined passkey that is set to four zeroes

"0000".
