MAC address on Deskjet 2852e without wifi

[Maryn32]

I need to find the MAC address on my printer in order to connect it to my wifi, so how do I locate the address without wifi on the DeskJet 2852e printer?

Click here for network setup using HP Smart but in a different language

You may need to reset the printer: video here for 2855 | 2821 | 2822 | 2842 | 2820 | 2875


WiFi setup to router using smartphone: video here or HP Smart and an laptop.


For WiFi direct setup see page 11-12 of below users manual
This is useful if there is no modem or you do not want to give someone access to your modem but you want to let them print something.


Simple push button or WPS setup is described on page 11 of Users Manual

Printer Reference 2842e

If you need the Mac address then you need to get a network report print out from the printer. It may look something like this but should have the MAC address, not just the IP4 addresses

LAN	STATUS	IP address	SSID	Password
WiFi	enabled	192.168.1.15	ATT-ARRIS-2 .4	GuessAgain
WiFi-direct	enabled	192.168.23.1	DIRECT-WHATEVER	BadGuess
Wired	disabled
USB	disabled

Let me know if you have a flex system (WiFi boosters or repeaters) as the setup is much more complicated.
