Issue with printer, Trying to find Http://192.168.223.1 to click scan and get the printer working.

Hello 57900,

Welcome to the HP Support Forums!

Regarding the I.P address you are trying to access, that is for the printers Wireless Direct connection. In order to connect to this I.P address, the computer, smart phone or tablet would need to be connected to the Wireless Direct on the printer.

What is the model of printer you are working with? Is it a computer you are trying to get the printer setup on? If so, what is the Operating System installed on the computer, Windows or Mac?

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hello azimi,

Welcome to the HP Support Forums!

Looks like you are having issues getting the Deskjet 2540 setup for use with your Android Smartphone. If you have a wireless network, you will need to connect the printer to that. See below steps;

• Turn Wireless Direct on from the front panel button on the printer. (number 4).

• Connect the Smartphone to the printer network, Settings> Network> HP-Print-2540.

• Open Internet browser and type this I.P address into the address bar, 192.168.223.1 and hit Enter.

• Go to Network or Wireless and then Wireless Setup Wizard.

• Select your network and enter the needed information.

The wireless light on the printer should go solid. Connect the Samrtphone back to your network and try to print.

If you do not have a wireless network, turn on Wireless Direct and connect the Smartphone to the printers network and try to print.

Cheers,

Have HP Envy 4500 and HP Chromebook...need to scan doc's...is it possible?

Hello Bgallagher,

Welcome to the HP Support Forums!

Via the Printer's EWS, you can scan. But, typically only as a JPEG. You would access the EWS by entering the printer's I.P address into the address bar of Chrome.

What is EWS?

When I type the IP address it seems pretty generic..I end up in a run around loop back to nowhere...

should i be using the subnet mask address?

or hardware address??I printed configuration page so I have all the info in front of me

The EWS is the the Embedded Web Server. It is a "control panel" or "interface" for the printer. The ENVY and Chromebook will need to be on the same network. Entering in the I.P address in the address bar of the web browser will bring up a page that should look like this:

Okay we are getting closer...

Says I need to turn on webscan..

setting is in administrator ...but under settings there is no adminstrator button..

Suggestions?

[JERENDS]

You need to go to Setting> Security> allow the page to continue, if prompted with a pop up> Administrator Settings. Web Scan should be the only option there.

Cheers,
