About cookies
The embedded web server (EWS) places very small text files (cookies) on your hard drive when you are
browsing. These files let the EWS recognize your computer the next time you visit. For example, if you have
configured the EWS language, a cookie helps remember which language you have selected so that the next time
you access the EWS, the pages are displayed in that language. Though some cookies are cleared at the end of
each session (such as the cookie that stores the selected language), others (such as the cookie that stores
customer-specific preferences) are stored on the computer until you clear them manually.
NOTE: The cookies that the EWS stores on your computer are only used for saving settings on your
computer or for sharing information between the printer and the computer. These cookies are not sent to any
HP websites.
You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, or you can configure it to alert you every time a cookie is
offered, which allows you to decide which cookies to accept or refuse. You can also use your browser to remove
unwanted cookies.
NOTE: Depending on your printer, if you disable cookies, you also disable one or more of the following
features:
• Starting where you left the application (especially useful when using setup wizards)
• Remembering the EWS browser language setting
• Personalizing the EWS Home page
For information about how to change your privacy and cookie settings and how to view or delete cookies, see the
documentation available with your web browser.
To open the embedded web server
NOTE: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address. The IP address and hostname for
the printer are listed on the status report. For more information, see
Understand the network configuration
page.
• In a supported web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname assigned to the printer.
For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following address into the web browser: http://
123.123.123.123
TIP: 1 After opening the embedded web server, bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly.
TIP: 2 If you are using the Safari web browser in Mac OS X, you can also use the Bonjour bookmark to
open the EWS without typing the IP address. To use the Bonjour bookmark, open Safari, and then from
the Safari menu, click Preferences. On the Bookmarks tab, in the Bookmarks bar section, select
Include Bonjour, and then close the window. Click the Bonjour bookmark, and then select your
networked printer to open the EWS.
