Open the Embedded Web Server
Follow these steps to open the printer's internal Web page:
1.

Launch the Internet browser.
Use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher or Netscape 4.75 or higher.

2.

Enter either the printer's

IP address

or

host name

in the browser's address box.

Note

If the printer is on a different

subnet

than the computer, enter the

printer's IP address (for example: http://192.168.1.1) in the browser's
address box to open the embedded Web server. Also, if the computer uses
a proxy server to access the Internet, you might need to configure the
browser to by-pass the proxy server in order to access the EWS.

If you do not know the printer IP address or host name,

print an HP Report page

.

Caution

Use caution when changing the print server's wireless network

settings; you can lose the connection. If you lose the connection, you might need
to use the new settings to reconnect. If the printer loses its network connection,
you might need to reset it to factory defaults and reinstall the software.
