Web Server does not support IPX-based printer connections. Internet access is not needed 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: HP Device Toolbox 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
