I have a new Hp OfficeJet All-in-One 9015e printer. When trying to print, I get the message: "Finish setup to enable printing. This printer requires use of an Hp account, enabled web services and internet connection. See documents provided with 123.hp.com." I have Hp account and the printer shows it's connected. Any ideas how to finish the setup?

If you are running a supported version of Windows -

HP OfficeJet 9010 | 9015 | 9018 | 9019: Download & Install HP Full featured software
and / or
================================
Remove / Install the full driver printer software
If not done by this point...
Restart everything, including the router that controls you network.
Can't stand it? At least restart the printer and the computer and any device you can stand to be without for a short time.
Next,
Run Windows Updates -- If any updates are installed, Restart the computer and log in.
Next,
Printer - Full Feature Software - Install
If you have not done so, consider
- HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts. The full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop: Printer Assistant and HP Scan. If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver. No Sign-in required.
If the full driver printer software is (already) installed but not working,
- Uninstall any printer software from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features
- Restart the computer and sign in.
What if?
NOTE: If software will not uninstall, appears to be removed and is “still hanging around” after you uninstall / Restart...
Microsoft: Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed
OR
Revo Uninstaller (Free version)
then
Restart the computer and sign in
Next,
- Check (for the Printer) in Devices and Printers > If found, Right-Click Printer and Remove -- If any changes are made, that is, you remove anything, Restart the computer and sign in.
Next,
- If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable before installing the printer software.
- Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start Software

======================================
Printer - Network and Embedded Web Server (EWS) - Network
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Dual Band Network - Considerations
Reminders
If the printer supports it, connecting using Ethernet is generally a better choice.
Some printers, particularly older models, only support Wireless at 2.4GHz
Some printers support Wireless at both 5GHz and 2.4GHz – but not at the same time
Regardless, if the printer won't work or cannot connect to your 5GHz SSID named network, connect to the 2.4GHz network.
If you are running a Dual Band Network,
Check that the router is set up to broadcast all frequencies it supports.
Next,
If your router supports it,
On your router:
Create a separate SSID named network for each frequency supported by the router
What? Create one SSID named network for 5GHz and one SSID named network for 2.4GHz
and
Connect the printer to the SSID network on the frequency / band you want it to use.
In general,
- 2.4GHz is less fussy about obstacles and supports a longer distance (separation) between router and device (printer)
- 5GHz is faster

Example – EWS – IPv4
EWS > HP Document / How-to
Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)
Ethernet
Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar
Tab Network > Wired (802.3) > IPv4 Configuration
Wireless
Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar
Tab Network > Wireless (802.11) > IPv4 Configuration
As Available:
Tab Network > Wireless (802.11) > Advanced
Network Interface on / off, Network SSID name, Security Settings, Passphrase / Password
Select and connect to the correct SSID / network name for the bandwidth you are using.
Note: It is not mandatory that you use a manual / static IP address. Doing so can improve stability.
