hp LaserJet Pro 4001-4004 Series Printer
HP LaserJet Pro 4001-4004 series printers (Standard SKU) enable onboarding to HP Cloud services as part of the setup process to deliver value-added features and services, like management via the HP Smart Admin Dashboard, printing from mobile devices via HP Smart, and the optional HP Instant Ink supplies service. This quick reference is provided for customers who prefer to opt-out of cloud onboarding during setup.
IMPORTANT: If the device has already been set up and assistance is needed to off-board the device from its pairing with an HP account, please contact HP Support.
Opt-out of cloud onboarding

When the printer is powered on, the following text will display on the control panel: hpsmart.com/setup.

Opting out of cloud onboarding from within HP Easy Start is not covered in this guide, so we recommend using the provided steps to opt-out using the printer control panel. -

At this stage you can configure the device for connectivity via Ethernet or USB, and install a driver as with previous generation HP LaserJet Pro printers. To configure the device for Wi-Fi connectivity without using HP Easy Start, HP recommends temporarily connecting via Ethernet and then browsing to the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to configure Wi-Fi.
NOTE: For information on how to select the correct printer driver, refer to the following document on HP’s support website: HP LaserJet, HP OfficeJet Enterprise, HP PageWide Enterprise, HP Managed – How to select the correct printer driver
Sign in to the Embedded Web Server (EWS)
As with HP predecessor products, the Embedded Web Server (EWS) can be accessed by typing the printer’s IP address into a web browser.
Figure 1 Example of an IP address in the browser address bar
When signing in to the EWS to perform configuration changes, you will be prompted to “Log in with PIN.” Figure 2 “Log in with PIN” dialog in the EWS
The PIN is located on a label inside the cartridge access door on the front of the printer (indicated by the red arrow in the image below).
