HP Color LaserJet CP3525 Series Printer - Embedded Web server

Use the embedded Web server to view product status, configure product network settings, and to manage printing functions from your computer instead of from the product control panel. The following are examples of what you can do using the embedded Web server:
note:
When the product is directly connected to a computer, use the HP Easy Printer Care to view the product status instead of the embedded Web server.
  • View product status information.
  • Determine the remaining life for all supplies and order new ones.
  • View and change tray configurations.
  • View and change the product control-panel menu configuration.
  • View and print internal pages.
  • Receive notification of product and supplies events.
  • View and change network configuration.
To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later or Netscape 6.2 or later for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux (Netscape only). Netscape Navigator 4.7 is required for HP-UX 10 and HP-UX 11. The embedded Web server works when the product is connected to an IP-based network. The embedded Web server does not support IPX-based product connections. You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server.
When the product is connected to the network, the embedded Web server is automatically available.
note:
For complete information about using the embedded Web server, see the Embedded Web Server User Guide, which is on the CD that came with the product.
