An IP address is a unique identifier that your HP printer uses to connect to your network.  If you are setting up your printer on a new network, you will likely need this number at some point during the set up process.  Your printer IP can be difficult to find if you've never had to look it up before, but in this short guide, we'll show you how to locate  it in just a few steps! 

There are a couple of ways you can find your printer's IP address.  You can either find it via the control panel on Windows or by simply bringing it up on your printer's display screen - we show you both methods below!  Please note, we are using an HP OfficeJet 5255 printer for our printer display screen instructions.  The look up process should be similar with other HP printer models and you can always check your user manual for model specific instructions.
