A 2025 ask – I’m trying to build something using old Kindles, the 3rd Generation Kindle is ideal or older Kindle touch devices. If you have one, are in the US, and could send it to me, I’d really appreciate it. Preference is for the 3rd Generation Kindle Keyboard but right now, any old Kindle would be great. Just contact me. Thanks.

I own a compact HP Laser Multifunction Printer (scanner and printer) and it’s a non-Instant Ink model yay! (this is the HP printer model, if you are interested). In my setup, it’s connected over WiFi which I setup using the HP Smart app. But for day-to-day administrative tasks, using the HP Printer web interface always feels faster and means I can pull it up from my computer.

The Default Username and Password for HP Printers

If you’re using a HP laser printer, here’s what you need to know:

  1. The default HP Printer username is: admin
  2. The default HP Printer password is an eight (8) digit PIN, where do you find the default PIN? Well…  the default PIN is unique to each printer and can be found inside the printer next to the toner cartridge area. It’s a sticker, that looks like this.

  1. To access the web interface, you’ll need to find the IP address of your printer, browse to it, and then enter the username and password when prompted. You can change the password to something more memorable – but be careful, as recovering a lost password requires you to hard reset your printer to factory defaults.

A small ask,  if you have a spare moment, take a look at my self-published book on Amazon. It’s under US$10 and buying a copy keeps this page ad free (you may also be able to get the Kindle edition free if you have no-rush Amazon credits)! While you’re at it, don’t forget to stock up on HP Ink.

Hope this helps someone else!
