Configuring and managing the print server on your network
This basic procedure involves installing printer drivers and other software, configuring
network parameters, and setting up the print path. You will use the installation software
on either the CD-ROM supplied with your printer or on the HP Jetdirect CD-ROM
supplied with your print server, depending on your printer model. This is explained in
the software instructions on your Quick Start Guide poster supplied with your print
server, or you can also see http://www.hp.com/support/network-printer-CD.
To use the wizard to install the networked printer on this computer, return to the initial
screen for this CD, select the [Install] button, and follow the instructions there. Help is
included. When finished there, this computer is ready to use the printer.
After using the wizard, you can use the additional tools listed below to make
configuration changes and additions and to monitor the printer.
NOTE: Making network address changes might break the print path
set up by the wizard.
Changing and managing the configuration
Your comprehensive reference is the HP Jetdirect Administrator’s Guide. You will find
the following among the topics listed in its contents panel:
•Security features
•LPD printing
•FTP printing
•Other software tools (for a variety of operating environmen ts)
•Embedded web server
Embedded web server
Each Jetdirect print server contains an embedded web server, a tool for configuring and
managing the print server. This acts like a small web site that allows you to configure
various parameters of the print server, such as an IP or IPX address. In addition, a
simple network scanning facility, sometimes called “Web Scan”, is available through
the embedded web server if your print server is attached to a supported MFP
(multifunction peripheral) or All-in-One device. Refer to the section in the Jetdirect
Administrator’s Guide on the embedded web server.
3-2
User Guide
Chapter 3
You use your standard web browser fo r access to the embedded web server’s functions.
Open your browser and enter the print server’s IP address as the URL. (Most browsers
will take a simple IP address; if yours doesn’t, insert http:// before the IP address.)
If you don’t know your print server’s IP address, print a configuration page. The IP
address will be listed in the TCP/IP section.
The embedded web server’s screens should be reasonably self-explanatory, and a lit tle
exploration will probab ly show you w hat you need t o know. (For full details, refer to the
Jetdirect Administrator’s Guide.) All entries show the current values of the print
server’s parameters, and you can change those values by entering new ones (if your
network administrator has allowed full access to them). No te that if you change the p rint
server’s IP address, you will lose the connection to the print server. You can reconnect
by pointing your browser at the new IP address.
List of protocols
The following protocols, and protocol-specific configurations and tools, are supported
by the print server. Use the HP Jetdirect Administrator’s Guide as your reference for
protocols.
•TCP/IP:
-DHCP: a tool for autoconfiguration
Configuring and managing the print server on your network
-BOOTP: a tool for autoconfiguration
-TFTP: a tool for extended autoconfiguration
-RARP: a tool on some systems for configuring an IP address
-Telnet: a tool for configuration and monitoring the print server
-Moving the print server to another IP network

User Guide
Chapter 3
Configuring and managing the print server on your network
If you are changing to an address on the same IP network:
1.Open your browser and enter the print server’ s cur rent IP address as the UR L. (You
may need to precede it with http://). If you don’t know the current IP address,
find it by printing a configuration page.
2.Click on the Networking tab in the page that then appears in the browser.
3.On the Networking page, make sure that TCP/IP is selected.
4.Set the IP Configuration Method to Manual.
5.Enter the new IP address in the IP Address box.
6.Since you will lose your connection to the embedded web server when you change
the address, you can re-establish the connection by entering the new IP address in
your browser’s URL field.
If you are moving the print server to another IP network:
1.First, do one of the following:
•Change the IP address to one usable on the new network: Verify the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are usable with the new network, or fix them.
•Erase the current IP address and configure another address after you are installed on
the new network. Verify the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are us able
with the new address, or fix them.
2.Then reset the print server to factory defaults. See “Performing a cold reset (to
factory defaults)” below.
3.Finally, do one of the following:
•If the print server was configured using BOOTP or DHCP, edit the appropriate
system files with updated settings. If the current BOOTP server is not reachable,
you may need to locate and configure a different BOOTP server.
•If the IP address and other parameters were manually set, then manually
reconfigure them. Verify the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
