Unable to connect to HP Embedded Web Server by using IP address or "host name"

[BWB72]

I have connected my new HP printer to my Chromebook and It works fine. I want to get access to the online control panel, but can't get there by typing the printer's IP address in the browser address line.

I can offer only the following limited observation...

Assuming your printer is on your network,

Assuming the printer IP address is actually correct,

You might try a different Browser.

Chrome, for example, doesn't like internal connections and will at least complain about trying to open the printer IP.

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Well I see that I can't run Firefox on Chromebook, unless through Linux. I am about to give up trying to view and change printer settings!!! I wonder if anyone using a Chromebook is able to do this.
