What if my ePrint job did not print?

Make sure your printer can receive an ePrint job and the job meets the requirements.

Make sure Web Services is on.
- Printers with touchscreens: Touch the HP ePrint icon , and then touch Settings. Or, navigate to the Web Services menu under Network Setup or Wireless Settings. If prompted, follow the instructions to turn on Web Services.
- Printers without touchscreens: Print a network configuration or self-test page to obtain the printer IP address, and then enter it in a web browser to open the Embedded Web Server. Click the Web Services tab to turn on the feature.
Make sure the email meets ePrint requirements.
- Enter only the printer email address in the To field. Multiple email addresses might cause the ePrint job to fail.
- Add text in the Subject field. A blank field can cause ePrint to fail.
- Attach no more than 10 files. The total size of the email, including attachments, cannot exceed 10 Mb/s.
Make sure the file attachment is compatible with HP ePrint.
- Photos must be a GIF, JPG, PNG, BMP, or TIFF file and have at least a resolution of 100 pixels.
- Documents must be a PDF, HTML, TXT, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file. Digitally signed, encrypted, or password-protected documents are not supported.
By default, ePrint jobs print single-sided, and in the same color and orientation as the original. Documents print on either letter or A4 paper, and photos print on 101.6 mm x 152.4 mm (4 in x 6 in) paper.
Make sure the sending email address has permission to use your printer. Sign in to your HP Smart account. Under ePrint Access, select Open to Anyone so anyone can send ePrint jobs, or select Allowed, enter an email address, and then click Add.
If the job still does not print, check your printer's Wi-Fi connection. For more information, go to Troubleshoot a Wi-Fi connection to an HP printer.

Does my printer support HP ePrint?

If your printer released before Fall 2020, it might support HP ePrint as long as the printer is connected to an active internet connection and Web Services is enabled.

Note:

For printers released after Fall 2020, HP ePrint is not supported. As an alternative, Print Anywhere is available. For more information, go to Print Anywhere with the HP Smart App.

To confirm if your printer supports HP ePrint, look for an HP ePrint or Web Services icon on the printer. On most printers, you can also press the Information button , and then look for HP ePrint or Web Services listed on the printout.

If your printer does not support HP ePrint, go to Mobile printing solutions for HP printers to learn about the mobile printing options available for your printer.

Is an HP Smart account required to use HP ePrint?

No, an HP account is not required to use HP ePrint or the basic functions of your printer, such as setting up, scanning, and printing.

Select the Edit icon next to Primary email address.
Change the email address, and then click Save.

Sign in to HP Smart.
Under ePrint Preferences, modify the settings you want.

Who can send an ePrint job to my printer?

Why can I not reuse my previous ePrint email address?

If you get a prompt that the custom ePrint email already exists, it might be assigned to the printer on a previous HP account or Web Services was turned off during the transfer.

Sign in to the previous HP Smart (in English) account.

If you do not have access to the previous account, turn Web Services off then on, re-add the printer to the new HP account, and then create a different custom email address. In six months, the previous custom email address should be available to reuse.
Click Remove Printer next to the printer name.
Sign in to the new HP account.
Scroll down to ePrint Address, and then click it to expand the menu, if necessary.
Enter the custom name you want to reuse, and then click Submit.
If the address is still not available, create a different custom address.

Why does the info page list a customized ePrint email address?

The printer has already been added to an HP Smart account (formerly HP Connected).

If you purchased or were given a previously owned printer and the previous owner did not remove Web Services from the printer, the printer might still be associated with the previous HP Smart account. Turn Web Services off then on to print an info page with a new printer code.
