When the printer is directly connected to a computer, use the HP Toolbox to view web pages
for the printer status.
When the printer is connected to the network, the embedded Web server is automatically
available. You may access the embedded Web server from Windows 95 and later. The
embedded Web server allows you to view printer and network status and to manage printing
functions from your computer instead of from the printer control panel. Below are examples
of what you can do using the embedded Web server:

Set the type of paper loaded in each tray
Determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new supplies
Change the tray configurations view
Change the printer control panel menu confiuration
Print internal pages
Receive notification of printer and supplies events
Change the network configuration
View support content that is specific to the current state of the printer
To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 and later, or
Netscape Navigator 4 and later. The embedded Web server works when the printer is
connected to an IP-based network. The embedded Web server does not support IPX-based
or AppleTalk printer connections. Internet access is not require to open and use the
embedded Web server.
