HP Smart Tank 7005 - How switch off automatically also when connected to network

[PiZeta]

In the printer manual it says on page 86 that "To preserve battery power, you can enable Auto-Off, even when the printer is connected or if the Wi-Fi connection is activated.", but it doesn't say how.
Can you help me?
In fact, the printer turns on once a month at 6:00 AM, and since it is connected to the wifi, it never turns off by itself.

Thanks

Hi @PiZeta,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Try these steps:

Access the Embedded Web Server (EWS):

• Find your printer's IP address by printing a configuration page from the printer's control panel.
• Open a web browser and enter the IP address in the address bar to access the EWS.

Log in to EWS:

• Use the appropriate credentials to log in to the Embedded Web Server (if prompted).

Navigate to Power Management Settings:

• In the EWS, look for the Settings or Setup tab.
• Find Power Management or Energy Settings.

Enable Auto-Off:

• Within the Power Management settings, you should find an option to Enable Auto-Off.
• Select this option to make sure the printer will automatically turn off even when connected to a network or if the Wi-Fi connection is activated.

Save Settings:

• After enabling Auto-Off, ensure you save your settings.

I hope this helps.

Hi Kuroi_Kenshi,

thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately (as you can see from the screenshot below) the auto-off is already set. Furthermore, in the notes it is explicitly stated that "if the printer is connected to a network or the wi-fi is active, the auto-off function is automatically disabled".
Unfortunately this means that when the printer turns on by itself at night, it no longer turns off.
In the instruction manual, however, it is stated that it is possible to make it turn off automatically even if connected to a network or with wi-fi active.

How do you do it?
Thanks

Hi @PiZeta,

Thank you for the response.

Here's what you can try next:

1. Access the Embedded Web Server (EWS) Again:

Open a web browser and type your printer’s IP address.

Log in if prompted (username usually: admin; password may be blank or on a label on your printer).

2. Go to Advanced Settings (or Energy Settings):

Navigate to: Settings > Preferences > Energy Settings (may vary slightly).

Ensure “Auto-Off” is Enabled.

3. Override Network Behavior:

Some firmware versions support custom timeouts and deeper settings. Try this:

In the same Energy Settings or Advanced tab, look for:

Sleep Timer / Energy Save Mode

"Auto-Off override for network activity"

If available, set it to Enabled or Yes.

If you don’t see this option, the firmware may not expose it by default.

Why It Wakes Up at 6 AM?

This could be due to:

Cloud Print / HP Instant Ink status checks

Scheduled maintenance or diagnostic routines

Some routers “ping” networked devices daily (WOL — Wake on LAN)

You can try assigning the printer a Static IP Address and disabling Web Services (like Instant Ink/Cloud Printing) if not used:

Go to Network > Advanced Settings

Disable Web Services

Set Manual IP Address (to avoid frequent pings)

I hope this helps.

Regarding point 3 of your message, I don't see the override network option.
How do I make it appear (if it's hidden by default as you said)?

Thanks
