Eprint settings not available

[MammaC213]

I want to change the Eprint address for my POS 

HP ENVY 6000 All-in-One Printer

I’ve been searching the internet for over an hour and ALL the  directions I found are not possible. There is NO EPRINT settings using printer IP address, using  HP Smart or hpconnect site. How the hell do I CHANGE the email address on this thing?

Also, buying this printer is one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made. I hate this printer.

Welcome to the HP User Community.

I am sorry you hate your printer.

True:  The old ePrint method is not available on the newer Envy 6000 models.

Instead, try / consider using the Print Anywhere application described here:

“Print Anywhere App” Supported on Select Printers

  HP Printers - Print Anywhere with the HP Smart App

 Step 3:  Use Print Anywhere

NOTE:  If a print job is blocked for more than 5 minutes, the HP Smart app cancels the job automatically.

For HP+ enabled printers only >> Open Subsection:  Private Pickup

Enable / Disable the service to hold the print job until the person who sent it is near

I did the print anywhere thing and I have to enable it every time I try to use it. Then it says can’t find server. I used to be able to send an email to my printer from 700 miles away and when I got home, it was sitting on the printer. I started buying Epson after terrible experiences with HP (dont get me started with instant ink). My Epson does this flawlessly. Way too much trouble using apparent print anywhere thing. It does not print anywhere.  At least i learned this crummy printer doesn’t do Eprint even tho the manual says it does and I printed a report that listed the printer’s email address. Thanks for the answer.

You are welcome.

Yes, Epson makes a fine product, too.

=========================================================================

For those reading

ePrint is the original method used to send jobs to the printer via the printer's email address.

Where supported, newer printers use "Print Anywhere" to send jobs to your Internet connected Printer's email address.

Print Anywhere is an expanded methodology that incorporates the HP Smart application into the original ePrint (HP Smart / HP Connected account).

HP Smart / HP Connected Login

Click Flag to switch to your region

The Print Anywhere setup is explained in the printer's user manual and the aforementioned document   HP Printers - Print Anywhere with the HP Smart App

Your printer does need to be connected to the Internet.

Read the chapter in your printer user guide that explains Web Services

Example 

HP ENVY 6000e All-in-One series - User Guide 

Print Anywhere  on Page 53

Web Services Starting on Page 75

Troubleshooting

HP printers - Cannot connect to Web Services

Excerpted

The printer does not connect to Web Services, and your printer or computer displays one of the following error messages.

• Server Connection Error. There was a problem connecting to the server. Press retry or OK to exit.

• Web Services Problem. Problem connecting to Web Services server.

• Server Connection Error. Unable to connect to Web Services. Confirm internet access and try again.

What else?

If your older printer will no longer run Web Services...

HP printers - Web Services stop working 

What else?

If Print Anywhere is not supported, is supported but is not working, or is otherwise just not available,

Try / Consider

Open your email,

Add a subject and recipient(s)

Attach the file(s) you want to print 

Send the files to yourself (for example)

When you are logged into the same network where the printer is located,

Open the email and print the message / attached files.

Personal Commentary - Not "HP statements of policy"

ePrint and Web Services

Web Services, once enabled, depends on a long unbroken path to and from the remote HP servers that accept and process the requests for remote jobs.  If that path is broken for any reason and at any stage of the operation (weak signal, high traffic, loss of connection to the 'net, downed remote server), the job will not print. 

The process is automated (the work is done by programs and hardware).  

If there are multiple errors flagged by the process, internal HP technical support will be notified.

HP is not notified of individual job failures.

HP is not notified of individual loss of connection to Web Services.

HP is not notified of jobs that fail to match the required criteria (for example, attachments, message structure, wrong email printer address, other failed content)

Rats - When / If Web Services is down...

If you cannot restart Web Services on your side, the source of the problem is elsewhere (Internet, broken path, downed service or server).

Web Services can "go down" in one or more regions (locations on the planet)

Outages might last a few minutes or very much longer.

The Community does not have any control or visibility into any part of the operation.

If / When the service recovers, it will again be available.
