HP Insights 4.4, February 2026

Secure Print

  • Passcode options: a new Alphabetic passcode type, and configurable passcode expiration (Never, 15 minutes, or 1 to 365 days). Users are notified before and after their passcode expires and can reset it in the User Portal, Print Scout or the mobile app. The default is still Never Expires. See Passcode authentication.
  • Passcodes are no longer sent by email. Users get an email alert instead and must keep their own passcode. Action: Let users know before upgrading.
  • Device Profiles: new settings for the More Device Functions button, Guest Print, Offline Print, and A4 and Letter Landscape scan sizes. See Device Profiles.

Administration

  • User Management: administrators can activate or deactivate users, and inactive users can no longer sign in to any interface. A new View active only filter has been added. This doesn't apply to users managed through SCIM. See User Management.
  • Auto-Provision setting: controls whether users are created automatically on their first OpenID or SAML sign-in. It's on by default. Action: Turn it off in Account Settings > Settings if you don't want users created this way. See Settings.
  • Admin SSO with Group Mapping: administrators can sign in to the web console with your identity provider, with roles assigned from SCIM-synced groups. See Configuring the new SSO (SCIM-based) for administrators.
  • Decode Card Data: a new Revert to Defaults button, and fields that enable or disable automatically to prevent invalid settings. See Decode Card Data.
  • License screen: clearer display of user and device entitlements. See License.
  • External card integration: OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens are now supported as an authentication method. See External card integration.

APIs

  • Client applications: API access in Analysis > API is now managed through applications, each with its own API and permission level. See Connecting to APIs.

Print Scout (Windows 8.2, Mac 2.30)

  • Languages: Print Scout messages are now available in 12 languages.
  • Passcode expiry notifications with a Reset option. Action: Install Windows Print Scout 8.2 or Mac Print Scout 2.30 or later to use this.
  • Collect Logs: administrators can request logs from Print Scouts and Device Scouts in the web console. See Collect logs for Scouts.
  • Windows: the OS architecture (x64 or ARM64) is shown in Discover > Print Scout, HP Universal Print Driver 7.9 is bundled, and Bypass Tray is supported with the Microsoft IPP driver on Windows 11 24H2 or later. Includes all 8.1.x hotfixes.
  • Mac: Toshiba bypass tray support, and a fix for duplex page counts.
  • Known issue: after you uninstall Mac Print Scout, a black dot may stay in the menu bar. Right-click it and select Quit.

Secure Print mobile app

  • Users can reset their passcode and see passcode expiry notifications in the app.
