Hi @DaveCalle

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

Try enabling the settings from the EWS page - 

 

1) From the printer control panel, find out the IP address of the printer by touching (Wireless) or by printing a network configuration page.

 

2) In a supported web browser on your computer or a mobile device, type the IP address or hostname assigned to the printer.

For example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.12, type the following address into a Web browser: http://192.168.0.12.

 

3) Go the Settings tab and enable the Administrator Settings

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
