Many "instructions" scattered around the Internet related to the topic, but they are not correct - they reference screen sequences that do not occur or screen contents that don't exist - probably old info. So what is are the current correct steps to follow to display total page count on this printer?

Hi @hankjeff,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you are trying to check the display of the total page count on your HP OfficeJet 5258 All-in-One Printer, follow these current steps, as some older instructions may no longer apply:
Option 1: From the Embedded Web Server (EWS) Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)
Find the printer's IP address:
- On the printer control panel, press the Wireless icon or Network icon to display the network information.
- Note the IP address listed (e.g., 192.168.x.x).
Access the EWS:
- Open a web browser on your computer.
- Type the printer's IP address into the browser's address bar and press Enter.
Sign in (if prompted):
- If you're prompted to sign in, use the default admin credentials unless you've changed them.
Navigate to Usage Information:
- In the EWS, look for the Reports or Tools tab (names may vary slightly).
- Select Printer Reports or Usage Report.
- The total page count should be displayed in this section.
Option 2: From the Printer Control Panel
Access Printer Settings:
- On the printer’s touchscreen control panel, go to the Settings or Setup menu.
- Look for Reports or Printer Information.
Print Usage Report:
- From the available options, choose Print Usage Report or Printer Status Report.
- This report will include the total page count.
Option 3: HP Smart App (if available) HP printer setup (HP Smart app)
Open HP Smart App:
- On your Windows 10 computer, open the HP Smart App.
Access Printer Info:
- Select your printer from the list.
- Look for a section labeled Printer Status or Printer Reports.
- The total page count may be displayed there, or you may need to print a Usage Report from the app.
