Web services disabled

[Song2285]

While setting up my laser jet m139 on the HP smart app, there was an error saying unable to register. I called support which was of little help. While trying to figure it out (trying to get claim code of the printer), I found that my web services is disabled. When trying to enable it, it keeps resetting (loading circle keeps spinning, but resets every 10ish seconds) and does nothing. 

any help is appreciated,

thanks!

Welcome to the HP support community.

I am glad to assist you to fix the web service connection error on your printer.

How is the printer connected?

Meanwhile, follow these steps to fix the issue.

Turn On Web Services

Make sure the printer is connected to a wired (Ethernet) or wireless network with an active internet connection.

NOTE: 

If you connect your printer to a computer with a USB cable, web-connected printing services do not work.

If your printer is connected with a wired (Ethernet) connection, check the cable and the lights on the printer’s Ethernet port. The green link light should be steady, and the orange activity light should blink when the cable is connected.

If your printer is connected with a wireless connection, make sure the wireless feature is on and the printer is connected to the same network as your computer.

Some printers have a wireless icon and a blue light on the front of the printer. If the printer has a blue light, and the light is on and not blinking, your printer is connected.

Print a Network configuration or Wireless Network Test Results page using button combinations on the printer control panel.

Make sure paper is loaded in the main tray, and then turn on the printer.

On the printer control panel, press the Cancel button to wake the printer.

Press and hold the Start Copy/Resume button for five seconds, and then release it.

The Ready lightblinks, and then a Configuration Report and Network Summary page print.

Type the printer IP address into the browser address line, 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 EWS does not open.

If a login or certificate window displays, complete the information to finish opening the EWS.

If a website security certificate displays, click Continue to open the EWS.

If a login window opens, type admin for the username, and then type the PIN found on the printer UPC sticker located underneath or on the back of the printer, or the password set by the printer administrator.

On the EWS, click the Web Services tab.

If the tab is not available, your printer does not support Web Services.

If a summary page displays, Web Services is already on.

If a setup page displays, follow the prompts to turn on Web Services.

NOTE: 

If you cannot turn on Web Services, make sure the printer firmware is up-to-date. For more information, go to Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware.
