HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e All-in-One Printer
macOS 12.0 Monterey

Trying to setup a new 9120e and there is no Scan to Email option in the EWS and when you press Scan to Email on the printer itself, it goes to a blank/black screen.

 

Please advise what setting needs to be changed to allow this.

 

Thanks.

@ArmadilloRobot, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
It sounds like you're encountering a couple of issues with your HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e printer. Let's address them step-by-step:

1. Scan to Email Option Missing in EWS:

To enable the Scan to Email option, you need to configure it through the Embedded Web Server (EWS). Here are the steps:

Access the EWS:

  • Open a web browser and enter the printer's IP address in the address bar.
  • Log in if prompted.

Configure Scan to Email:

  • Navigate to the Scan tab.
  • Select Scan to Email.
  • Follow the prompts to set up the email server settings (SMTP server, port, authentication, etc.).

2. Blank/Black Screen Issue:

This issue might be related to a firmware problem. Here are some steps to troubleshoot:

Restart the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the printer and the wall outlet.
  • Wait for about 60 seconds.
  • Plug the power cord back in and turn on the printer.

Update Firmware:

  • Ensure your printer's firmware is up to date. You can do this through the EWS or the HP Smart app.
  • From the EWS, go to Tools > Maintenance > Firmware > Check.
  • If an update is available, follow the prompts to install it.
     

If the screen still goes blank:

  • On the printer, go to Settings > Printer Maintenance > Restore > Restore Factory Defaults.
  • Re-set up the printer via HP Smart afterward.

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.

Thanks for this reply. I really appreciate it.

 

None of those things made a difference, but what did make the Scan to Email option show up on the menu within EWS was enabling Quick Sets. I don't know why that would make a difference or why they had to be enabled, but that's what worked.

 

Replying here for the next person that has this problem. 🙂
