Understand the network configuration page (some models
only)

If the device is connected to a network, you can print a network configuration page to
view the network settings for the device. You can use the network configuration page to
help troubleshoot network connectivity problems. If you need to call HP, it is often useful
to print this page before calling.

Network Configuration Page

Shows information about the current status and active

connection type of the network, and other information, such as the URL of the
embedded Web server.

the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, as well as the hardware address of
the device.

such as the IP address, the communication mode, the network name, authentication
