I usually scan to email directly from my printer to my email. 

 

Recently I had to update the password on my email address (**bleep**) that I used when I setup the printer. 

I do not find where I can update the password on the printer/printer system. 

 

when I try to scan from the printer, i get the error "the username and password do not match" "smpt server error"

I am on Mac Sonoma 14.5 Desktop

 

all the downloads/support apps do not work and I just need to update the password.

 

thanks in advance!

Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

If you have not done so,

Consider / Try

 

Select and Edit the Scan to Email Profile using the Embedded Web Server (EWS).

 

Reminder

Most email providers have shut / disabled "Less Secure Apps" -

 

  • Open your email at your email provider's site
  • Open the Security
  • Enable 2FA (formally called 2-Step Verification) -
  • Create an App Password - Make a note of the password
  • Use that App Password in place of the email password in your Scan to Email Profile.
