HP Embedded Web Server
The HP Embedded Web Server provides a universal interface to the printer that anyone with a
network-connected PC or Mac and a standard Web browser can easily access. It requires no
special software to install or configure. The HP Embedded Web Server allows you to display status
information, change settings, and manage the printer from your computer.
When the printer is directly connected to a computer, the HP Embedded Web Server is supported
for Windows 98 and later plus Mac OS X version 10.2.8 and later. When the printer is connected
to the network, the HP Embedded Web Server is automatically available from the computer’s
browser. From Windows you can access the HP Embedded Web Server from Microsoft Internet
Explorer 6.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 6.2 or later. From Mac OS X you can access the
HP Embedded Web server from any browser (including Apple Safari, Explorer, Mozilla) by
entering the printer’s IP address, or you can access it directly from a Bonjour (formally Rendezvous)
page in your Safari browser.
Note You can gain access to the HP Embedded Web Server from any operating system that
supports the TCP/IP protocol and a Web browser. IPX-based network connections are not
supported. You cannot view the HP Embedded Web Server pages from outside a firewall.
You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the HP Embedded Web Server.
For more information, see the HP Embedded Web Server User Guide located on the
printing systems software CD included with the printer.
