[eddie747]

with the HP officejet 5255, is it possible to scan to gmail with 2 step verification enabled?  I have been trying to set up the app password feature but can't figure it out or even know its possible on this older printer

Hi @eddie747,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing an issue setting up a scan to email with your HP OfficeJet 5255 Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

Option 1: Use the HP software to set up the Scan to Email feature.

1. Open the HP software/printer icon on the desktop screen.
2. Under the Scan or Scanner Actions heading, click Scan to Email Wizard.
3. When the outgoing email profile window displays, click your email address associated with this profile.
4. You will also find an option to delete a previously configured Email address
5. Enter an email profile display name. This is the name that will display on the printer control panel for the email profile.
6. Enter a security PIN to restrict access to this email profile from the printer control panel, if desired.
7. Enter the correct SMTP server and SMTP port information.
8. If you typically have to enter a user name and password to log into your email account, you will want to enter this information into the email authentication fields.
9. Click Next, and then click Save and Test or Save to complete the email profile configuration.

Alternatively, you can also watch this (The printer may be different but the steps are similar) video to know how to delete and set up an Email address for scanning from HP printers

Option 2: Open the embedded web server

1. Find out the IP address or hostname of the printer by touching (Wireless) or (Ethernet) or by printing a network configuration page.

Note: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address.

2. In a supported web browser on your computer, type the IP address of the printer. For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123

Note: If you get a security message as "your connection is not private", click on Advanced and proceed to this website.

Step 2: On the printer settings page, go to Scan > scan to email > Select your email address > Edit > Authenticate > Email login authentication > Input new password > Next > Save and Test
