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.
Method one: Open the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) from the software
Use this method to open the EWS from the HP Printer Assistant software.
1. From the Start menu, select HP, and then select the printer name to open the HP Printer Assistant.
2. In the HP Printer Assistant, select Print, and then select Printer Home Page (EWS).
Method two: Open the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) from a web browser
Use the EWS to manage your printer from a computer instead of the printer control panel.
Your printer must be connected to an IP-based network before you can access the EWS.
1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, touch the Wireless icon or the Ethernet
icon to view the printer's IP address or host name.
2. Open a web browser, and in the address line, type the IP address or host name exactly as it displays
on the printer control panel. Press the Enter key on the computer keyboard. The EWS opens.
