Thank you for purchasing the HP JetDirect 4000 Print Appliance.
This product is a state-of-the-art device for managing and
monitoring printing over a network. It has several distinct
advantages over conventional network printing configurations.
These advantages are discussed below.
This guide provides information about installing and operating the
HP JetDirect 4000.
1
Introduction
NoteThis user’s guide is intended for system
administrators and other persons who are familiar
with Windows operating systems, web browsers,
and general network operation and terminology.
The HP JetDirect 4000 is a network device designed to offload
printing from general purpose servers. This can res ult in improved
performance in both printing and file access.
In a typical network, general purpose servers manage both the
printing tasks and the file/application serving.
The HP JetDirect 4000 handles the spooling and network traffic
associated with printing, reducing the workload on the general
purpose server.
In conventional network printing, when printing takes place at
remote offices or other locations distant from the servers, the s peed
of printing can be degraded. A print appliance installed in a remote
office can dramatically increase printing performance by
Introduction 1-1
eliminating the need for print requests to travel from the remote
office to the central site and back to a remote office printer.
An additional benefit is that if general purpose file/application
servers go down, remote office users can still print many jobs
directly, using the HP JetDirect 4000.
Operation and Management
The HP JetDirect 4000 contains a large disk drive for spooling print
jobs from clients. The jobs are stored in print queues on the disk
drive. The print appliance has been opt imized for a maximum of 32
queues.
Clients submit print jobs in the way th ey normally do.
Once the HP JetDirect 4000 is configured, virtually no management
tasks are required. However, system administrators can monitor
print activity, manage the queues or alter the configuration of the
print appliance from anywhere on the network, using the HP
JetDirect 4000’s web-based graphical user interface and a
supported browser.
Summary of Features and Benefits
• Easy to install
• Can be managed from any supported we b browser on the network
• Once installed, virtually no management required
• Supports uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs)
• Increases performance of general purpose servers
• Increases printing performance
• Reduces network traffic
• Transparent to client users
• Easy to pre-configure before shipping to a remote office

Installation
To install the HP JetDirect 4000, you will need to complete these
steps:
1. Unpack the HP JetDirect 4000.
2. Connect the component s.
3. Configure IP settings on the front panel manuall y or via DHCP.
4. Use the Web Interface to configure the device.
5. Back up settings.
6. Set up access from each client.
These steps are explained in detail on the following pages.
Central Site Pre-Setup
You may pre-configure the HP JetDirect 4000 at your central site
and ship it to a remote office.
Simply complete steps 1-5 before shi pping the print appliance to the
remote site.
After the print appliance is re-connected at the remote site, a
qualified person must set up each remote client workstation
(step 6). Last, you can verify the configuration from the central IT
site.
2
Installation
Drop Ship to Remote Sites
You may ship the HP JetDirect 4000 directly to a remote site. This
works especially well if your network uses DHCP.
A qualified person at the remote site should complete steps 1-3. If
your network uses DHCP, the print appliance will acquire its IP
address. Alternately, you can ask the individual at the remote site
to enter an IP address manually.
Then, complete steps 4 and 5 from your location.
A qualified person must set up each remote client workstation
(step 6).
NoteIt is useful to verify the installation with a single
client before configuring multiple clients.

Network Settings
Use this page to establish the HP JetDirect 4000’s network se ttings.
Print Appliance Name
Enter a name for the HP JetDirect 4000. This is the name that
will appear on each client workstation’s Network Neighborhood.
If your network uses DNS to identify network resources, this
name should match the DNS name. Otherwise, any name will
do. The name may contain up to 12 alphanumeric characters. It
may also contain underscore symbols (“_”). Once you make a
change here, it will appear on the HP JetDirect 4000’s front
panel LCD display
Obtain an IP Address automatically using DHCP
Select this option for the print appliance to be automatically
configured using DHCP. Ensure that a valid DHCP server and
address leases are available. If you choose DHCP, the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway will be
automatically configured. All configuration informat ion received

Manually Specify IP Information
Select this option to manually spe cify the IP addres s information
for this print appliance. Each field must be entered manually.
IP Address
Enter an IP address without leading zeroes. Example: “10.1.2.3”.
Subnet Mask
Enter a subnet mask. Example: “255.0.0.0”.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address of the default gateway used to access other
networks or subnets. This enables the print appliance to
communicate with devices (such as printers and PCs) on
different subnets. If a gateway is not available or you do not know
the gateway’s address, enter the same IP address used for the
HP JetDirect 4000, or leave this field blank.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Add ress
The DNS server enables you to speci fy network resources (such
as PCs and printers) by their friendly names instead of their IP
addresses. In order to use this functionality, you must specify
the DNS server by it s IP address, not by i ts friendly name . Once
the DNS server is specified, you may then use friendl y names
across other configuration areas of the HP JetDirect 4000 (such
as the queue configuration screen). If your networ k does not have
a DNS server, leave this field blank.
WINS Server Address
4
Similar to the concept of a DNS server, a WINS server enables
network resources such as the HP JetDirect 4000 to be browsable
across subnets, using Network Neighborhood. Enter the IP
address of the WINS server.
If your network does not have a WINS server configured, leave
this field blank. Withou t a WINS server configured, Windows 9x
clients may be unable to print to an HP JetDirect 4000 located
on a different subnet.
Web Interface 4-7

IP Domain Name
The IP domain name that the HP JetDirect 4000 belongs to.
Domain refers to a set of devices on a network that has been
assigned a group name. The domain name must match s tandard
naming conventions. The name must be alphanumeric. It may
also contain underscore symbols (“_”) or dashes (“-”). Example:
“mycompany.com”.
If your network does not have an IP domain name, enter
“defaultdomain” instead.
NT Domain or Workgroup
Specify the Windows domain or workg rou p th is HP JetDire ct
4000 belongs to. The HP JetDirect 4000 will appear under this
name in Network Neighborhood. Although the print appliance
is not able to authenticate users in a Microsoft Windows domain,
it is able to identify itself as a resource in that domain.
Enable shared drive to store printer device drivers
Check the checkbox t o create a fo lder on the pri nt app liance for
printer drivers. When created, it appears in Network
Neighborhood as a folder under the Print Appliance Name.
The print driver share folder is a convenient place for you to store
print drivers for later downloading to client workstations. The
administrator has read-write access to the folder (called
“@drivers”, while others have read-only access to the folder
(which appears to them as “drivers”).
When installing a printer driver at a client workstation, you may
find it convenient to click Have dis k and find t he d riv er i n t he
HP JetDirect 4000 printer driver folder.
If you restore the print appliance to its factory defaults, the

Frequently Asked Questions
1.How do I pre-configure the HP JetDirect 4000 for use at
a remote site?
Establish the front panel settings, establish the device’s
network settings using the web interface, and back up the
configuration (Steps 1 through 5 in Chapter 2). Then send the
HP JetDirect 4000 to the remote office to be connected. Printer
drivers will need to be added to client PCs at the remote office.
2.Is there a maximum size print job I can send to the HP
JetDirect 4000?
The HP JetDirect 4000 can process print jobs up to a maximum
size of 2GB.
3.How does the HP JetDirect 4000 work with my existing
print spooling strategy?
It can offload printing tasks from servers and localize print
traffic at remote sites. For details, see Chapter 1,
“Introduction”, page 1-1.
5
Frequently
Asked Questions
4.Where do the printer drivers reside?
The drivers reside on the client workstations. They must be
loaded on any PC from which printing is done. The HP
JetDirect 4000 will not automatically download a print driver;
you are responsible for print driver installation. This can be
done by following the pr ompts in the Windows Add Printer
Wizard to install the driver.
5.What happens if there is a power outage?
After a power outage the HP JetDirect 4000 will automatically
recover and rebuild its settings as necessary. (Se e questions 7
and 8 below.) To reduce the chance of data loss, the HP
JetDirect 4000 can be connected to a UPS. (See questions 9 and
10 below.)
6.What happens if I power down the HP JetDirect 4000?
The HP JetDirect 4000 will not be available on the network.
Any print jobs that were not printed will automatically resume
when the HP JetDirect 4000 is powered up again.
Frequently Asked Questions 5-1
7.What happens if I unplug the HP JetDirect 4000 while
it is booting?
This could initially cause corruption of the data on the HP
JetDirect 4000 hard disk. However, the HP JetDirect 4000 is
designed to make internal data loss unlikely, since the
corrupted data will be automatically corrected during its next
uninterrupted bootup.
8.What happens if I unplug the HP JetDirect 4000 while
it is processing a print job?
A similar corruption can occur as in the preceding situation. In
addition, the print jobs that were in process of printing can
become corrupted as well. Spooled print jobs that had not yet
begun printing will not be lost. There is no guarantee about the
integrity of print jobs in the process of being submitted to the
HP JetDirect 4000 at the time the power was removed.
(Note that unplugging is not the same situation as powering
down the HP JetDirect 4000 with the Power button, which is
a more orderly shut down.)
9.How do I connect an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS)?
The print appliance supports AP C UPSs in the Simple
Signaling mode with a Simple Signaling cable. Connect the
UPS cable to the connector labeled UPS on the back of the print
appliance.
10. How does an uninterruptible powe r supply (UPS) work
with the HP JetDirect 4000 Print Appliance when the
power fails?
The DB9 cable enables the UPS to signal the print appliance
to perform an orderly shutdown in the event of a power failure.
During an orderly shutdown, pro cess es are cl os ed and d ata is
saved. No configuration is necessary to enable UPS support,
other than simply connecting the DB-9 cable.
11. Can I use Web JetAdmin to manage my HP JetDirect
4000?
No. However, Web JetAdmin will be able to discover a
configured HP JetDirect 4000 and allow you to launch the
embedded web server from the Web JetAdmin interface.
5-2 Frequently Asked Questions
12. Can the HP JetDirect 4 000 accept print jobs from UNIX
clients‘?
Printing from UNIX is not supported.
13. Can I print from Macintosh clients on my network?
Printing from Macintosh computers is not supported.
14. Can I print over my network using Novell as the
network OS?
Yes. If the MS client is loaded and the IP address is properly
configured on the client and printer, the n you may us e the HP
However, the HP JetDirect 4000 will not appear as a Bindery
object or as an NDS object on the NetWare server.
15. We use proxies on our networks. C an the HP JetDi rect
4000 be used?
Yes. Web browsers used to interface with the HP JetDirect
4000 may be easily configured to support this. For details, see
your web browser’s online help.
16. Does the print appliance support bootp or rarp?
No. But the HP JetDirect 4000 does support DHCP.

Frequently
Asked Questions
17. Can the print appliance be configured via TELNET?
No. The configuration methods are DHCP, front panel, and web
browser.
18. What is inside the HP JetDirect 4000 Print Appliance?
The print appliance is a PC running LINUX with a 266 MHz
processor, 4+ GB hard drive, and 64 MB RAM.
19. What is the limit on the number of jobs that can be
spooled?
The number of jobs is limited by the disk space available on the
print appliance.
20. How are print jobs sent to the print appliance?
Clients send print jobs via SMB to the print appliance. SMB
stands for Server Message Block and it is the normal Microsoft
networking protocol.
Frequently Asked Questions 5-3
21. How are print jobs sent from the print appl iance to the
printer
The HP JetDirect 4000 uses LPD to send the print job to the
printer.
22. Is the print appliance compatible with non-HP print
servers?
Yes. Any print server that supports LPD should work with the
print appliance. You may have to know the proper LPD remo te
queue name for the print server. Many print servers will work
without specifying a remote queue name (use the default HP
PRINT SERVER setting); however, some require a special
string in order to work. The LPD remote queue name can be
obtained from the print server vendor.
23. What kind of security does the print appliance employ?
The HP JetDirect 4000 has a front panel password to prevent
unauthorized front panel configuration. It also has a web
password required to configure the device or manage print
queues.
The print appliance is not compatible with NT domain security.
You can configure the NT domain name o n the print appliance,
and it will appear in that domain in Network Neighborhood,
but there will be no use r or group aut henticati on. Any user on
the domain will be able to print to queues on the print
appliance.
?
24. Why do I have to load a print driver on every client when
I use the HP JetDirect 4000 Print Applia nce and I didn't
with my NT print server?
Windows NT has a feature called point and print that will
download many print drivers from the NT print server to the
client automatically when a printer is configured on the client.
The HP JetDirect 4000 does not have this feature. When a
printer is configured on the client, you will be notified that “The
server on which the printer resides does not have a suitable
NULL printer driver installed. Click on OK if you wish to
install the driver on your local machine.”
You must select an appropriate print driver from the printer
installation dialog box or another source like a network drive
or the disk supplied with the printer.
5-4 Frequently Asked Questions
25. My DHCP server automatically assigned an IP addres s
to a new printer I’ve added to the network. Where do I
find that address?
You can either print out a printer test page, or access the DHCP
server to display the scope of Active Leases.

HP JetDirect 4000?
You must add a new queue w ith the printer’ s IP
address or DNS name in order to spool to the
new printer. See chapter 4, “Print Queues”,
page 4-16.
Client Setup Proble ms
ConditionPossible Cause/Solution
I can’t locate the print
queue from the client.
When connected to a
printer that has been
configured for an HP
JetDirect 4000, I get the
message, “The server on
which the printer resides
does not have a suitable
NULL printer driver
installed. C lick OK if you
wish to install the driv er o n
your local machine”.
I can’t locate the HP
JetDirect 4000 on the
network.
The client is on a different subnet than the HP
JetDirect 4000. Verify that WINS is configured
correctly in “Network Settings”.
The Network Neighb orhood browser has not yet
updated. Try accessing the print appliance by
selecting Start from the task bar, and select
Find and Computer.
Click OK, and continue following the prompts to
perform the normal client printer driver
installation.
Network Neighborhood has not had enough
time to automaticall y update . This ma y take up
to 30 minutes. An alterna tive method is to select
the Windows Start button from the task bar,
select Find and Computer, and enter the name
or IP address of the HP JetDirect 4000.
You can also use the UNC path directly and
avoid browsing delays. (for example
\\spooler1\queue1).
Try accessing the print appliance with your
browser’s proxy server not enabled.

alternative causes/solutions.)

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting 6-3
Printing Problems
ConditionPossible Cause/Solution
I can’t print from a client to
the intended printer,
although I have done so
previously.
I have not been able to print
from any client to the
intended printer.
A printer had to be taken off
the network for repair, and
it was replaced by one
having a different IP
address. Print jobs reach
the queue but never print.
The print applianc e is set up
to use DHCP. When I
powered it off and then
powered it back up again,
DHCP reassigned it to a
different IP address than it
had previously. Now the
clients can no longer print.
How can I avoid this?
I changed the print queue
name and now the clients
cannot print.
The selected queue may be paused. Unpause
the print queue. See Chapter 4, “Print Q ueues”,
page 4-16.
The IP address or queue name may not be
correctly configured for t he desired pri nter. See
Chapter 4, “Network Settings”, page 4-6.
First, pause the print que ue and then resume it.
If that is unsuccessful, delete the print queue
and then add the queue again.
When you add the queue, be sure you have
entered the new printer IP address, and
performed Add Printer on client machines.
Use a WINS server along with DHCP, so that
when the print applianc e powers up it will always
be reassigned the same IP address.
If you are not using WINS, you may alternati vely
set the print appliance IP add ress manually and
have the DHCP administrator select an IP
Address Pool range which excludes the print
appliance address.
Or, have the DHCP administrator supply the
print appliance with an “infinite lease” duration
for its assigned IP address.
You must use the Windo w s Add Printer wizard
at the clients and enter or browse to the new
queue name. You sho uld also delete t he client’s
old printer driver w hich refe rred to th e previ ous
queue name.
