HP Printers - Set Up an HP Smart Website Account

This document is for HP printers that support web-connected printing services.

If you are unable to register your printer to your account, or you want to set up a new account with HP, visit the HP Smart website and register your printer. Registering allows you to access additional web printing services, such as HP ePrint and HP Instant Ink.

If you are setting up HP Smart for the first time, you must create or sign in to an HP account.

If you update to the latest version, you do not have to create or sign in to an HP account except in these cases:

You install an HP+ printer.
You install HP Smart on a new device, or you remove and reinstall the app.

note:
The HP Smart website availability depends on your country/region. To see if the website is available for your country/region, go to HP Smart, and then select the country/region and language menu.

If you registered with the HP Smart website during printer setup, your printer might already be added. Go to HP Smart, and then sign in to your account.

If your printer is listed, skip to Setting up web-connected printing services.
If you have an HP+ printer, go to 123.hp.com to download the printer software, and then follow the prompts to set up your printer and sign in to your HP account. You cannot manually add an HP+ printer to your account using a printer code.
If your printer is not listed, continue with these steps.

Step 1: Get the printer code

Connect your printer to the web, and then get the printer code.

Printers with a touchscreen or text-based display

Connect your printer to the web, and then get the printer code.

Turn on the printer, load plain paper in the input tray, and make sure ink or toner cartridges are installed.

On the app home screen, tap the printer icon or the plus sign .
On the My Printer screen in the HP Smart app, tap Advanced Settings.
Tap Web Services, and then confirm that Web Services is enabled.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Review the following list of frequently asked questions.

What are the HP Smart website setup requirements?

Before setting up your printer on the HP Smart website, make sure the printer meets the following requirements:

The HP Smart website is available in your country/region. Go to HP Smart, and then click the country/region and language menu.

If you do not find your country/region in the list, the HP Smart website is not available.
The printer supports web-connected printing services. Look for an HP ePrint logo, button, or icon on the printer control panel.

If your printer control panel does not have an icon or button, navigate to the Web Services Setup, Network Setup, or Wireless Settings to locate the Web Services menu.

If you are unsure if your printer is supported, go to Mobile Printing Solutions Compatible with HP Printers.
Your computer and printer are connected to a network with an active internet connection.

note:
Web-connected printing services do not work when the printer is connected with a USB cable.

Why does my printer code not work?

When you try to add a printer to your HP Smart account, you might see one of the following messages:

Invalid Code
Unexpected Error
Expired Code

Use these steps to resolve the issue.

Wait 5 to 10 minutes, and then type the printer code again. Occasionally there is a delay in the activation process.
Type the printer code exactly as it displays on the info page, without any additional characters or dashes.
Turn Web Services off then on to print a new info page with a new code.

If the previous steps did not work, go to contact HP Support for assistance.

Why does the info page have an email address and not a printer code?

The information on the info page varies by printer model and country/region. When the info page lists your customized printer email address without a printer code, your HP account is already set up and linked to your printer.

Can I still sign up for HP Smart if I lost the printer code?

Yes. Turn Web Services off then on to print a new info page with a new printer code.
