Does HP reuse old auto-generated ePrint email addresses?

[DPSL]

Hi, recently I reset the settings on my printer which seemed to change the ePrinter email address associated with the printer.

I sent a document to the old email address and got the email to confirm the job has been received. Only after did I realise the address on the printer has been changed.

Does HP recycle old auto-generated email addresses? I don't want this document to be sent to someone else's printer. Thanks!

Hi @DPSL,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

HP ePrint email addresses are unique to each printer and are not recycled by HP. Once generated for a specific printer, the email address remains associated with that printer unless manually changed by the user. If you've reset the settings on your printer and it has generated a new ePrint email address, the old address should no longer be valid or associated with any printer. Therefore, you don't need to worry about the document being sent to someone else's printer. However, to confirm, you can check the settings on your printer to ensure that the old email address is no longer listed there. 

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
