The Wireless Access Point filters MAC addresses

MAC filtering is a security feature in which a

Wireless Access Point (WAP)

is

configured with a list of

MAC addresses

(also called hardware addresses) of devices

that are allowed to gain access to the network through the WAP.
If the WAP does not have the hardware address of a device attempting to access

the network, the WAP denies the device access to the network.
If the WAP filters MAC addresses, then the printer's MAC address must be added

to the WAP's list of accepted MAC addresses.

1. Print an

HP Report page

.

2. Find the printer's hardware address on the HP Report page.
3. Open the WAP's configuration utility, then add the printer's hardware address

to the list of accepted MAC addresses.
