Hi @Danny279,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try these steps:

Ensure Web Services are Enabled:

  • Before setting up ePrint, make sure Web Services are enabled on your printer.
  • On your printer’s control panel, press the ePrint button and follow the on-screen instructions to enable Web Services. 

Check Your Network Connection:

  • Ensure the printer is connected to a stable internet connection. You can print a network configuration page to verify the connectivity status.

Access HP Connected:

  • Access the HP Connected website and sign in to your account or create a new one if you don't have one already.

Customize Your ePrint Email Address:

  • Once logged into HP Connected, go to the Services tab and locate the section for ePrint.
  • You will find options to customize the printer’s email address. If the desired email address is unavailable, try adding unique characters or numbers to make it more distinct.

Using a Different Custom Name:

  • If your original choices are taken, try combining unique elements such as your name with random alphanumeric characters.
  • Examples: If JohnDoe is taken, you can try J0hnD03, DoeJohn12345, or JDPhoto6.

Print Info Page:

  • From the control panel, print the ePrint information page which includes the printer code and can guide you through the customization of the email address.

Here is a detailed guide for setting up HP ePrint that might be useful for such issues.

I hope this helps.
