Thanks, Tim. But no, that didn't work. For the record, that page said: 1) password access requirement is turned OFF 2) username default is ADMIN 3) password is BLANK But I distinctly recall the username is "admin" (all lower case), even though the manual stated the username was "Admin". The password was short, like 5 or 6 characters, but definitely not blank. I tried all of the above anyway. No go.

The manual doesn't say anything about a user or password. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03026243.pdf Search for EWS. I don't know this model but it can't be that hard.

And I've read posts up to five or six search-results-pages deep. I agree, it shouldn't be that hard. I've come up with answers which saved customers more than $50,000 quicker than this. It's partially the absurdity of not being able to find the answer which is driving me bat-crap crazy.
