Use the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) to manage printing functions from your computer instead of the printer control panel.

The HP Embedded Web Server works when the printer is connected to an IP-based network. The HP Embedded Web Server does not support IPX-based printer connections. You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the HP Embedded Web Server.

When the printer is connected to the network, the HP Embedded Web Server is automatically available.

Note:

Printer Home Page (EWS) is software used to connect to the HP Embedded Web Server when the printer is connected to a computer via USB. It is available only if a full installation was performed when the printer was installed on a computer. Depending on how the printer is connected, some features might not be available.

Note:

The HP Embedded Web Server is not accessible beyond the network firewall.
