Hey tomdenise,

If your network is not on a proxy, you do not need to enter a proxy. Here are the steps you need to go through to resolve this issue.

1. Find your printer's IP address by printing a network configuration page.

2. Type you IP address into the address bar of your web browser.

3. Click on the network tab at the top of the page.

4. Look at the left hand side and click IPv4 under wireless.

5. Change the IP settings to Manual.

6. Enter the printer's IP address, your subnet mask, and your routers IP address or default gateway in the spaces.

7. Set the Prefered DNS to 8.8.8.8.

8. Set the Alternate DNS to 8.8.4.4.

9. Click apply.(You may need to refresh the page if it says processing for longer than a min and click apply again.)

10. Now try to enable Web Services.

My HP Network Configuration Page shows under proxy address and port not specified and authentication off.  I can't print from the web would this be the cause
