@hshighuang, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
The error OW_4XX_OWSWS00001 you're seeing during the setup of your HP LaserJet M110w typically indicates a problem with registering the printer to your HP account via the HP Smart app. This can be caused by network issues, or incomplete setup.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to resolve this issue:
Check Printer Readiness
- Ensure the printer is powered on and in a ready state.
- Remove all packing materials (including inside the cartridge area and paper tray).
- Make sure the Wi-Fi light is blinking (indicating it's in setup mode). If not, restore Wi-Fi setup mode:
- Press and hold the Wireless button for 10 seconds or until the light starts blinking.
Restart Devices
- Restart your printer, PC, and Wi-Fi router.
- Close and reopen the HP Smart app.
Restore Factory Defaults (Optional but Helpful)
- Open the HP Smart app.
- Click your printer > Advanced Settings > log in (use admin as username and the PIN from the printer label).
- Go to Settings > Restore Defaults.
Re-add the Printer
- In the HP Smart app, remove the printer:
- Right-click or long-press the printer name > Forget Printer.
- Add the printer again using “+ Add Printer”.
