Using the embedded Web server (hp color LaserJet 3700 series
printer only)
When the printer is directly connected to a computer, use the HP toolbox to view web pages
for the printer status.
When the printer is connected to the network, the embedded Web server is automatically
available. You may access the embedded Web server from Windows 95 and later.
The embedded Web server allows you to view printer and network status and to manage
printing functions from your computer instead of from the printer control panel. Below are
examples of what you can do using the embedded Web server:
●
view printer control status information
●
set the type of paper loaded in each tray
●
determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones
●
view and change tray configurations
●
view and change the printer control panel menu configuration
●
view and print internal pages
●
receive notification of printer and supplies events
●
view and change network configuration
●
view support content that is specific to the current state of the printer
To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 and later or
Netscape Navigator 4 and later. The embedded Web server works when the printer is
connected to an IP-based network. The embedded Web server does not support IPX-based
or AppleTalk printer connections. You do not have to have Internet access to open and use
the embedded Web server.
To access the embedded Web server using a network
connection
In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address for the printer in the
address/URL field. (To find the IP address, print a configuration page. For more information
about printing a configuration page, see

Once you open the URL, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in the
future.
