Finding the IP address of an HP Multi-Function Printer (MFP) copier can be done through its control panel or by printing a network configuration page. Here are the steps for both methods:
VIDEO: How to find printer IP address on a HP Copier
Method 1: Using the Control Panel #
Power on the HP MFP Copier if it’s not already on.
Access the Control Panel: #
Most HP MFP copiers have a touchscreen control panel. Use the touchscreen to access the printer’s settings menu. The exact steps to access the settings menu may vary depending on the specific model, but you can usually find it by navigating through the touchscreen interface.
Network Settings or the Information I on the home screen: #
Look for an option related to network settings or connectivity. This might be labeled as “Network,” “Network Settings,” “Wireless,” or something similar. Again, the exact wording and menu structure may differ between models.
View IP Address: #
Within the network settings menu, you should find an option to view the printer’s IP address. It may be listed as “View IP Address,” “Print IP Address,” or something similar. Select this option, and the printer will display its IP address on the screen.
Method 2: #
Printing a Network Configuration Page
Power on the HP MFP Copier if it’s not already on.
Load Paper: #
Make sure there is paper loaded in the printer’s paper tray.
Access the Control Panel: #
Just as in method 1, use the touchscreen control panel to access the printer’s settings menu.
Network Settings: #
Navigate to the network settings menu as described in method 1.
Print Network Configuration Page: #
Look for an option to print a network configuration page within the network settings menu. This option is often labeled “Print Configuration Page” or “Print Network Status Page.” Select this option, and the printer will start printing a page that contains various network-related information, including the IP address.
Retrieve IP Address: #
Once the network configuration page has been printed, retrieve it from the printer’s output tray. The IP address should be listed on this page, typically under a section titled “TCP/IP” or “Network Information.”
By following one of these methods, you should be able to find the IP address of your HP MFP Copier. Remember that the exact steps and menu options may vary depending on the model of your HP printer, so consult your printer’s user manual or HP’s support resources for specific instructions if needed.
