HP Laser Printers - locate EWS Administrator Password

[ShlomiL]

Question

With HP Laser (Not Laserjet) Printers, how can I find the EWS Administrator password to log in to the EWS Page of the printer?

Answer

With previous firmware versions, the default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank

With the latest printer firmware, the default username remains admin (all lower case), but the password is the WPS PIN Number.

To locate the WPS PIN Number, print a Network Configuration Report and locate the PIN Number within the WPS Information section.

Here is how to print a Network Configuration Report report for the different HP Laser printer models:

• HP Laser 100 Printers - Printing Self-Test Pages
• HP Laser MFP 130 Printers - Printing Self-Test Pages
• HP Color Laser 150 Printers - Printing Self-Test Pages
• HP Color Laser 178, 179 Printers - Printing Self-Test Pages
