- HP Access Control web page settings discrepancy

HP Access Control web page settings discrepancy
If you sign in to the HP printer’s web page, select Security and then select Access Control, you will see the text:
- Some security settings on this page are unavailable because they are managed by Printix Go.
This means, that the settings shown on the HP printer’s web page, are not necessarily reflecting what is being applied via the Printix Go configuration. The printer’s touchscreen control panel, should reflect what has been configured with Printix Go.
HP printer says: The item is restricted
On the HP printer when you try to sign in you get the error message “The item is restricted. Try using another account, or contact the system administrator or the person who set up the product”.
RESOLUTION: Please refer to How to get Application ID from a Printix Go HP printer and then submit a support request.
HP printer says: Sign-in failed. The default sign-in method (Printix) is currently unavailable…
On the HP printer when you select an application you get the error message “The default sign-in method (Printix) is currently unavailable. Choose an alternate method and sign in again”. This can be caused by the printer’s date, time and time zone not being set correctly. It is particularly important to set this correctly of a reset to factory settings. If the date and time is off the certificates does not work. Another possibility is that the printer’s default gateway is not set correctly and therefore blocks communication to the Printix Client/Printix Cloud.
RESOLUTION: Set the correct date and check that the default gateway is correct.
HP printer says: USB error
The printer will report USB error if:
- An otherwise supported card reader is connected to the HP printer before Printix Go is installed.
- An unsupported card reader is connected to the HP printer even after Printix Go is installed. Try to get the card reader’s vendor ID and product ID.
