What are Web Services?

HP ePrint

HP ePrint is a free service from HP that allows you to print to your HP ePrint-enabled printer

anytime, from any location. It's as simple as sending an email to the email address assigned to

your printer when you enable Web Services on the printer. No special drivers or software are

needed. If you can send an email, you can print from anywhere, using HP ePrint.
Once you have signed up for an account on HP Connected (www.hpconnected.com), you can

sign in to view your HP ePrint job status, manage your HP ePrint printer queue, control who can

use your printer's HP ePrint email address to print, and get help for HP ePrint.

HP Printables

HP Printables allow you to easily locate and print preformatted web content, directly from your

printer. You can also scan and store your documents digitally on the Web.
HP Printables provide a wide range of content, from store coupons to family activities, news,

travel, sports, cooking, photos, and many more. You can even view and print your online images

from popular photo sites.
Certain HP Printables also allow you to schedule the delivery of app content to your printer.
Preformatted content designed specifically for your printer means no cut-off text and pictures

and no extra pages with only one line of text. On some printers, you can also choose paper and

print quality settings on the print preview screen.

Set up Web Services

Before you set up Web Services, make sure your printer is connected to the Internet using either an
