To those reading:
Phone number in the previous post will be removed.
Please be aware:
123.hp.com - Printer setup from the HP® Official site
Welcome to the HP® Official website to setup your printer. Get started with your new printer by downloading the software. You will be able to connect the printer to a network and print across devices.
Beware of Fake 123 printer sites
- There are several “fake” sites listed (in search engines) for “123” – please make sure you are using the actual “HP” site.
- Notice the website address – the real HP site does not contain any extra verbiage. For example, there is no “setup” or other extra bits in the address.
- HP websites are the only ones allowed to use the HP copyright circle/logo. Look for the copyright on any website claiming to be HP. If in doubt, scroll to the bottom of the Website to find HP copyright logo.
Still not sure? Ask us.
- If you are asked for money because of "issues" OR if the “help” wants to log into your computer, you are using a “fake” site. Do notgive these people your information!
