Yes, you can access its functions directly through the Embedded Web Server (EWS) or by using the IP address.

  • Find your printer's IP address on a network configuration page printed from the control panel.
  • Type that IP address directly into the address bar of a web browser (like Chrome or Edge) on a computer connected to the same network.
  • If the browser says the site is unsafe, select the option to continue. It won't harm your device.
  • When prompted, the username is 'admin'. The password is on the label inside the printer, behind the cartridge access door.

IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: Some EWS features require a specific connection type. Ensure your computer and printer are on the same Wi-Fi network. A Wi-Fi Direct connection from your computer can also be used to access EWS.

HEADS UP: For full setup, wireless management, and easy mobile printing, the HP Smart app is still the recommended method.
