The printer's control panel is stuck on Web Services setup, no matter what options I choose (SKIP/No/Yes) it keeps crashing and showing :
Printer Error
There is a problem with the printer
No matter what I do, it always wants to go back to the Web Services setup, I can't access any other functions of the control panel.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Welcome to the HP Forums!
This is a wonderful place to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips.
I'll be glad to help you 🙂
I recommend you disable web services from the printer webpage and check whether the issue is resolved.
Here is how it is done.
-
Print a Network Configuration or self-test page to obtain the printer IP address needed to view the EWS webpage.
For instructions on printing a Network Configuration or self-test page, go to HP Customer Support. Type your printer model, and then search for the document to "print a configuration page" or "print a self-test page," depending on your printer model.
-
Find the printer IP address on the Network Configuration or self-test page.
-
On your computer, open an Internet browser.
-
Type the printer IP address in the browser address bar, and then press Enter.
NOTE:
Make sure to type the IP address into the Internet browser's address box. If typed into a toolbar search box or search engine, the Embedded Web Server (EWS) does not open.
-
If a website security certificate displays in the Internet browser, click Continue.
The EWS information page for the printer opens.
-
On the EWS webpage, click the Web Services tab, and then select Remove Web Services from the Web Services Settings list.
-
Click Remove Web Services, and then follow the on-screen instructions to turn off Web Services.
NOTE:
If you did not intend to turn off Web Services and want to continue using web-connected printing services, go to Setting Up an HP Connected Account.
Let me know how it goes. Awaiting your reply!
