Hi @avidtriker,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I understand how frustrating this can be when the HP site accepts the serial number but rejects the product number. It usually happens due to one of these reasons:

Why HP Site Doesn’t Recognize the Product Number

  • Region mismatch: The printer was purchased in one region, but you’re registering in another.
  • Typo or format issue: HP product numbers are case-sensitive and usually look like W1Y45A (letters and numbers, no spaces).
  • Model variations: Some printers use a SKU or configuration code instead of the base product number.


Steps to Fix

  1. Verify Product Number Format
    • Check the label on the printer (usually near the serial number).
    • It should look like W1Y45A or similar.
    • Avoid adding spaces or extra characters.
       
  2. Use HP Warranty Check Tool
  3. Find Correct Product Number
    • On your printer: 
      • Print a Configuration Page (from the printer menu).
      • Look for Product Number under “Device Information.”
    • Or use HP App → Printer Info.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!
