English Use the printer HP ePrint HP ePrint is a free service from HP that allows you to print to your web-connected printer anytime, from any location. It's as simple as sending an email to the email address assigned to your printer when you enable Web Services on the printer. No special drivers or software are needed. If you can send an email, you can print from anywhere, using HP ePrint. Once you have signed up for an account on ePrintCenter (www.eprintcenter.com), you can sign in to view your HP ePrint job status, manage your HP ePrint printer queue, control who can use your printer's HP ePrint email address to print, and get help for HP ePrint. Note: To use HP ePrint, the printer must be connected to the Internet (either using an Ethernet cable or wireless connection). You cannot use HP ePrint if the printer is connected using a USB cable. Set up HP ePrint To set up HP ePrint, complete the following steps: 1. Place the HP software CD into the computer, and then follow the onscreen instructions. Note: If the firewall software on your computer displays any messages during the installation, select the "always permit/allow" option in the messages. Selecting this option allows the software to install successfully on your computer. 2. Follow the instructions for your operating system: • Windows: When prompted, click Network (Ethernet/Wireless), and then follow the onscreen instructions. • Mac OS X: Double-click the HP Installer icon on the software CD, and then follow the onscreen instructions. Note: If prompted, temporarily connect the printer to the computer with a USB cable. While connected, the computer sends the wireless settings to the printer. After these settings are sent, the installation program will prompt you to disconnect the USB cable. 3. If you are connecting to a wireless network, enter the wireless network name and password (if prompted). Understanding the HP ePrint light The HP ePrint light indicates status and is useful for diagnosing printing problems. For information about what these light patterns mean, see the user guide. 4. When prompted, do the following: • Accept the Web Services Terms of Use. • Enable the printer to automatically check for and install product updates. • If your network uses proxy settings when connecting to the Internet, enter these settings. 5. The printer prints an information page. Follow the instructions on the information page to finish the setup. Note: The information page also includes the email address you will use for printing documents using HP ePrint. For more information, see "Use HP ePrint" on page 7. Learn more!
