							Stopping a print request
You can stop a print request by using the printer control panel or using your software program. For
instructions on how to stop a print request from a computer on a network, see the online Help for the
specific network software.
NOTEIt can take some time for all printing to clear after you have canceled a print job.
To stop the current print job from the printer control panel

If several requests have been sent to the printer through your software, they might be waiting in a print
queue (for example, in Windows Print Manager). See the software documentation for specific
instructions about canceling a print request from the computer.
If a print job is waiting in a print queue (computer memory) or print spooler (Windows 2000 or XP), delete
the print job there.

							Using the embedded Web server
When the printer is connected to the network, the embedded Web server is automatically available. You
can open the embedded Web server from Windows 95 and later.
NOTEWhen the printer is directly connected to a computer, use the HP ToolboxFX to view the
printer status.
Use the embedded Web server to view printer and network status and to manage printing functions from
your computer instead of from the printer control panel.
●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 settings
●View and print internal pages
●View and change network configuration
●View support content that is specific to the current state of the printer
●Restrict access to color-printing features
To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later, Netscape
Navigator 7 or later, Safari 1.2 or later, Konqueror 3.2 or later, Firefox 1.0 or later, Mozilla 1.6 or later,
or Opera 7 or 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 need Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server.
To access the embedded Web server by using a network
connection
1.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. See 
Using printer information
pages.)
NOTEAfter you open the URL, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in
the future.
2.The embedded Web server has three tabs that contain settings and information about the printer:
the Status tab, the Settings tab, and the Networking tab. Click the tab that you want to view.
See the following section for more information about each tab.
