I can't remember if I asked here - I've got more than one printer, HP, laser, builtin JetDirect. When I go there in a browser, I see the basic thing, but I can't get to the networking page. It says that it wants a password, no user name. It doesn't accept anything. Last week, a co-worker reset one to factory defaults... and it comes up with the same thing. Looking around on the Web, I don't see anything about a default password.
Clues for the poor?
Have you tried installing hplip? You'll have to check whether the CentOS package is late enough to support your printers, and you may have to download a ppd file, but I find it works very well here. I have a mfp, JetDirect, connected by wireless, and a Deskjet 990CXi by usb to my laptop. I've also used the Deskjet on another box connected to the LAN. The setup tool sees them both, and providing it can find the ppd it's really easy. (IIRC the CentOS package didn't support my mfp, but just pointing it to the .ppd was sufficient to get it working.)
