embedded web server (EWS)
The embedded Web server (EWS) provides a simple way to manage your printer on a
network.
Use the printer's EWS to do the following:
●
Check the printer's status.
●
Adjust the printer's network configuration.
●
Check estimated ink levels in the print cartridges.
●
View network statistics.
●
Configure the printer's wireless security settings .
●
Visit HP's Web site for support information and to
purchase supplies.
Caution! It is recommended that the printer and the computers that
use it be on the same subnet. Printer installation across subnets can
be problematic depending on the type of router used.
Before using the printer's internal Web page, verify that the printer and the computer
are powered on and connected to the network.
Follow these steps to open the printer's internal Web page:
1. Launch your 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.
If the printer is on a different subnet than your 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
your computer uses a proxy server to access the Internet, you
might need to configure your browser to by-pass the proxy server
in order to access the EWS.
