1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect print
server
HP Jetdirect print servers connect printers and other devices directly to a network. By attaching a device
directly to a network, you can install it in a convenient location and share it with multiple users. In
addition, a network connection allows data transfers to or from the device at network speeds. The
following HP Jetdirect print server types are available:
HP Jetdirect embedded print servers are integrated with a supported printer or multifunction
●
peripheral (MFP). Because they are built directly into the printer's mother board, the print server
cannot be independently purchased or replaced. However, depending on the printer (or MFP),
they are assigned an HP part number for compatibility and identification purposes.
HP Jetdirect EIO internal print servers are modular I/O cards installed in HP printers (or MFPs) that
●
have a compatible enhanced input/output (EIO) slot.
HP Jetdirect external print servers connect printers (or MFPs) to the network by adapting a printer's
●
input/output connector, such as a USB port, to the network.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the term print server refers to an HP Jetdirect print server and not a
separate computer running print server software.
Supported print servers
The following table lists the supported HP Jetdirect print server features and capabilities discussed in this
manual.

Security protocols
SNMP (IP and IPX)
Simple network management protocol (SNMP) is used by network management applications for device
management. HP Jetdirect print servers support access to SNMP and standard management information
base (MIB-II) objects on IPv4, IPv6 and IPX networks.
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support an SNMP v1/v2c agent, and an SNMP v3 agent for
enhanced security.
Value-featured print servers support an SNMP v1/v2c agent only.
HTTPS
Both full-featured and value-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support secure hypertext transfer protocol
(HTTPS) for secure, encrypted management communications between the HP Embedded Web Server
and your Web browser.
Authentication
EAP/802.1X port-based authentication
As a network client, HP Jetdirect full-featured print servers support network use with the extensible
authentication protocol (EAP) on an IEEE 802.1X network. The IEEE 802.1X standard provides a portbased authentication protocol where a network port allows or blocks use, depending on client
authentication results.
When using an 802.1X connection, the print server supports EAP with an authentication server, such as
a remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS, RFC 2138) server.
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support the following EAP/802.1X methods:
●
LEAP (lightweight EAP) is a proprietary Cisco Systems protocol that uses passwords for mutual
authentication (the client and the server authenticate each other).
●
PEAP (protected EAP) is a mutual authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for network
server authentication and passwords for client authentication. For additional security, the
authentication exchanges are encapsulated within transport layer security (TLS). Dynamic
encryption keys are used for secure communications.
●
EAP-TLS (RFC 2716) is a mutual authentication protocol based on X.509v3–compliant digital
certificates for authentication of both the client and the network authentication server. Dynamic
encryption keys are used for secure communications.
The network infrastructure device that connects the print server to the network (such as a network switch)
must also support the EAP/802.1X method used. In cooperation with the authentication server, the
Security protocols
3
infrastructure device can control the degree of network access and services available to the print server
client.
To configure the print server for EAP/802.1X authentication, use the HP Embedded Web Server
through your Web browser. For more information, see
on page 64.
Wireless print server authentication
HP Jetdirect wired/wireless print servers support several wireless authentication methods, which include
the following:
●
WEP–Personal Authentication is based on a secret, common wired equivalent privacy (WEP)
key that must be configured on each wireless device. A device that does not have the proper WEP
key cannot use the network. Static WEP encryption protocols are used for network
communications.
●
WEP–Enterprise Requires 802.1X credentials to use the wireless network. A dedicated server
verifies the identity of the user or device that is requesting network use. There are several available
protocols.
●
WPA/WPA2–Personal Uses wi-fi protected access (WPA) standards through a pre-shared key.
A user-specified passphrase must be entered to generate the pre-shared key. Dynamic WPA
encryption protocols are used for network communications to provide enhanced security.
HP Embedded Web Server (V.40.xx)
●
WPA/WPA2–Enterprise Requires 802.1X credentials to use the wireless network. A dedicated
server verifies the identity of the user or device that is requesting network use. There are several
available protocols.
IPsec/Firewall
IPsec/Firewall features provide network-layer security on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. A firewall
provides simple control of IP traffic, which is either permitted access or discarded. IPsec, RFC 2401
provides additional protection through authentication and encryption protocols.
The IPsec/Firewall capabilities depend on the HP Jetdirect print server product and the printer/MFP in
which it is installed. The following capabilities are available:
●
Value-featured print servers do not support IPsec/Firewall operation.
Full-featured print servers and printers/MFPs that support IPsec can control IP traffic by using both
●
firewall and IPsec protection.
Full-featured print servers and printers/MFPs that do not support IPsec can control IP traffic using
●
firewall protection only.
To configure the print server for IPsec/Firewall operation, use the HP Embedded Web Server through
your browser. For more information, see
IPsec/Firewall configuration (V.40.xx) on page 105.

3 TCP/IP configuration
To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, you must configure the HP Jetdirect print server with valid
TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address that is valid for your network.
The HP Jetdirect print server supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks simultaneously. Print server
configuration for IPv4 operation remains the same as in previous HP Jetdirect products.
IPv6 configuration
HP Jetdirect print servers provide basic configuration capabilities for operation on an IPv6 network. For
IPv6 printing services, the print server supports the following:
IP printing (raw) using HP-proprietary TCP port 9100
●
LPD printing using standard TCP port 515
●
IPP printing using standard TCP port 631
●
FTP printing using standard TCP ports 20 and 21
●
The print server supports remote configuration by DHCPv6 servers and IPv6 routers. In addition, it
supports remote configuration and management from a Web browser over HTTP or HTTPS. Local
configuration of basic IPv6 parameters is available through the printer control panel if supported by the
printer/MFP device.
IPv6 address introduction
An IPv6 address consists of 128 bits. The normal format of an IPv6 address is eight fields, each
separated by a colon (:). Each field contains four hexadecimal digits representing 16 bits:
hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh
In the example, h is a hexadecimal digit 1 through 0, A through F. This is sometimes called colon
hexadecimal format.
Depending on the application, you can enter or display an IPv6 address using a shortened version
when successive fields contain all zeros (0). You can use two colons (::) and omit leading zeros in a
field. (The use of two colons to represent successive zero fields can be used only once in an address.)
The following is an example IPv6 address:
2001:0DB8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0200:bb02
Using the shortened version, the example address is:
2001:DB8::200:bb02
However, the use of two colons to represent successive zero fields can be used only once in an
address.
IPv6 addresses are often specified by a prefix that identifies a fixed value associated with the first part
of the address, followed by a prefix length that specifies the number of bits in the prefix. In IPv6
14 Chapter 3 TCP/IP configuration
addressing, a prefix length of 64 typically specifies a network or subnet. A prefix with a prefix length
less than 64 typically identifies a portion of the IPv6 address space or a route.
The following is a list of those reserved portions of the IPv6 address space:
2001:DB8::/32 (reserved for use only as examples in documentation)
●
FE80::/10 (reserved for link-local addresses only)
●
IPv6 addresses do not use subnet masks as in IPv4 formats. Instead, the prefix length can specify an
entire network/subnet, or the network portion of a complete host address, as in the following example:
2001:DB8:1234:5678:abcd::ef01/64
In the example, /64 is the prefix length and indicates that 2001:DB8:1234:5678 is the network/
subnet for the specific host uniquely identified by abcd::ef01.
For a more thorough discussion of IPv6 address formats and types, see the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) IPv6 RFCs, or see the documentation supplied with your IPv6-supported system or router.
IPv6 address configuration
Most print server addresses are automatically configured in accordance with the IPv6 standards. If
necessary, the print server allows manual entry of an IPv6 address by using the printer control panel or
the HP Embedded Web Server. If the print server is enabled for IPv6 operation, all automatically
configured IPv6 addresses are active. However, by default, manually configured addresses are
disabled and must be manually enabled.
Stateless addresses assigned to the print server are under the control of a router. Stateful addresses are
normally assigned by a DHCPv6 server under the direction of a router. However, you can configure the
print server to always use stateful configuration, or to use stateful configuration if stateless configuration
fails.
Link-local address
IPv6 link-local addresses are automatically self-configured and allow IPv6 communications between
hosts connected to the same link (routers do not forward link-local addresses). Because each IPv6 host
on a local network assigns itself a link-local address, a router-based infrastructure is not required.
When the print server creates a link-local address, the link-local prefix FE80::/10 is combined with a
64-bit host address, derived from the print server's MAC address, in accordance with a predefined
algorithm.
For example, a print server with MAC address 00–0E-7F-E8–01–DD results in the following link-local
address:
FE80::20e:7FFF:FEE8:1DD
The use of link-local IPv6 addressing is beneficial for small, configuration free networks.
Stateless addresses
Stateless addresses are usually assigned to the print server under router control, and not by a server,
such as a DHCPv6 server. However, the router can specify that other configuration be provided by a
server.
IPv6 configuration
15
The print server must receive periodic router advertisement messages. These messages contain one or
more IPv6 prefix options, and they can specify 64–bit local subnets, or a default route. These prefixes
are combined with a 64-bit host address derived from the print server's MAC address to form the IPv6
stateless addresses configured on the print server.
Stateless addressing is useful for networks that require traffic to be routed but with minimal network
configuration.
Stateful addresses
A DHCPv6 server configures stateful IPv6 addresses on HP Jetdirect print servers. A DHCPv6 policy on
the print server determines when to use the DHCPv6 server for stateful configuration. You can select one
of the following DHCPv6 policies for the print server to use:
●
Under router control Use DHCPv6 stateful configuration when requested by the router.
●
Stateless configuration fails or is disabled Use DHCPv6 stateful configuration if stateless
configuration fails or is disabled.
●
Always use DHCPv6 On startup, always use DHCPv6 for stateful configuration.
Stateful configuration is useful when host configuration beyond that provided by a router is necessary,
such as a domain name or DNS server addresses.
Use DNS
HP Jetdirect print servers support the configuration of IPv6 DNS servers for the print server.
Due to IPv6 address length and complexity, specifying an IPv6 address in applications to identify or
search for a device can be cumbersome. Some client applications might not support the direct IPv6
address entry. However, name resolution can be available for the print server if the appropriate IPv6
records are configured in DNS. If name resolution is supported, you can enter the print server's host
name or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) when using these applications.
NOTE: The print server does not support dynamic updates to DNS. IPv6 addresses are not
automatically supplied to DNS servers.
16 Chapter 3 TCP/IP configuration
Tools and utilities
System tools and utilities for IPv6 networks are available to access or troubleshoot communications with
the print server. The following are some examples:
●
ipconfig /all or ipv6 if Identify IPv6 addresses for various interfaces configured on the system.
An interface IPv6 address can contain a ScopeID, which is an interface index identifier (for
example, %3) that is appended to a link-local IPv6 address.
● ping6 Send test packets to a remote interface and report the response packets. This command
uses the following syntax:
ping6 <IPv6 address><%ScopeID>
NOTE: On Windows Server 2003, or Server 2008, use the ping command for an IPv6 address
by specifying the appropriate command option.
In the example, <IPv6 address> is the address of the remote host interface, such as the print
server. The <%ScopeID> uniquely identifies the interface on the local system when it is configured
with multiple link-local IPv6 addresses.
For example, if the print server's link-local IPv6 address is fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd, and
the Windows system contains a LAN interface identifier (%3), enter the following:
ping6 fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd%3
Depending on the local interface used, you might need to create a route to the remote host
address.
● IPv6 addresses as URL An IPv6 address in a URL must be enclosed in brackets. The following
is an example using the HP Embedded Web Server on the HP Jetdirect print server:
http://[fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd]
In the example, fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd is the IPv6 address of the print server.
NOTE: The browser must support direct IPv6 addressing as a URL.
For detailed information on these and other tools, see your system documentation and help.
IPv4 configuration
This section provides specific IPv4 configuration information for HP Jetdirect print servers on a TCP/IPv4
network.
Server-based and manual TCP/IP configuration (IPv4)
When in a default factory state (as initially shipped or after a cold reset) and turned on, the HP Jetdirect
print server attempts to obtain its TCP/IP configuration using a server-based method, such as bootstrap
protocol/trivial transfer protocol (BOOTP/TFTP), dynamic host configuration protocol/trivial transfer
protocol (DHCP/TFTP), or reverse address resolution protocol (RARP). Depending on the print server
model, it can take several minutes for these methods to complete. If configuration is not successful, a
default IP address is assigned.
You can also configure the print server manually by using Telnet, a Web browser, the printer control
panel, arp and ping commands (when the default IP address is 192.0.0.192), or SNMP-based
IPv4 configuration
17
management software. Manually assigned TCP/IP configuration values are retained when the print
server is turned off, and then turned on.
You can configure the print server to use either server-based or manual configuration of TCP/IP settings
at any time.
To identify the print server's configured IP address, see the HP Jetdirect configuration page.
Default IP address (IPv4)
When in a factory-default state, the HP Jetdirect print server has no IP address. You can assign a
default IP address depending on the network environment.
Default IP address is not assigned
A default IP address is not assigned if a server based method (such as BOOTP or DHCP) is successful. If
the print server is turned off and then on, the same method is again used to retrieve the IP configuration
settings. If the method now fails (for example, the BOOTP or DHCP server is not available), a default IP
address is not assigned. Instead, the print server continues to send IP configuration requests indefinitely.
To change this behavior, perform a cold reset.
A default IP address is assigned only when a network cable is attached to a wired print server.
Default IP address is assigned
A default IP address is assigned if the factory default methods fail, or if the print server is re-configured
by an administrator to use a server-based method (such as BOOTP or DHCP) and the method fails.
If a default IP address is assigned, the address depends on the network to which the print server is
connected. The print server senses broadcast packets on the network to determine the appropriate
default IP settings, using the following methods:
On small private networks that adhere to automated, standards-based IP address assignments, the
●
print server uses a link-local addressing technique to assign a unique IP address. Link-local
addressing is limited to a local IP subnet (not routed) and can be referenced as Auto IP. The IP
address assigned is in the range of 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 (commonly referred to as
169.254/16). If necessary, you can further modify the IP address for your network, using
supported TCP/IP configuration tools.
With link-local addresses, subnetting is not used. The subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, and cannot be
changed.
Link-local addresses do not route off the local link, and access to or from the Internet is not
available. The default gateway address is the same as the link-local address.
If a duplicate address is sensed, the HP Jetdirect print server automatically reassigns its address, if
necessary, in accordance with standard link-local addressing methods.
On large or enterprise IP networks, a temporary address of 192.0.0.192 is assigned until it is re-
●
configured with a valid address through supported TCP/IP configuration tools. This temporary
address is referred to as Legacy Default IP.
On mixed-environment networks, the self-assigned default IP address is either 169.254/16 or
●
192.0.0.192. Verify that the assigned default IP address is correct, using the HP Jetdirect
configuration page.
18 Chapter 3 TCP/IP configuration
To determine the IP address configured on your print server, use the HP Jetdirect configuration page.
HP Jetdirect configuration pages on page 135.
See
Default IP on wireless and wired print servers
Wired and wireless print servers can have different default IP configuration results:
When turned on, a print server in a factory default state that is connected to a network through a
●
cable (wired), retrieves its IP settings by systematically using BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP. If
configuration fails, a default IP address is assigned.
A wired/wireless print server in a factory default state that is not connected by a cable initially has
●
only a wireless ad hoc connection available. Retrieval of IP settings from a network is limited to a
few seconds, during which a single BOOTP request is transmitted, and broadcast packets are
sensed. Because a response from a BOOTP server on an ad hoc network is unlikely, and the
number of broadcast packets sensed are minimal, a default IP configuration using link-local
addressing is likely.
The IP configuration can change when the wireless print server is connected to a DHCP network
because, sending DHCP requests is enabled by default even after a link-local address is assigned.
Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address on the print server for initial
communication might not work without modification. For the default IP address settings actually
configured on the print server, see the HP Jetdirect configuration page.
Default IPv4 address configuration options
Default IPv4 parameter
A default IP configuration parameter on the print server controls how the default IPv4 address is
assigned. Whenever the print server is unable to obtain an IP address during a forced TCP/IP
reconfiguration (for example, when manually configured to use BOOTP or DHCP), this parameter
determines the default IPv4 address to use.
When the print server is in a factory default state, this parameter is undefined.
If the print server is initially configured with a default IPv4 address by using either a link-local IPv4
address or the legacy default 192.0.0.192 IP address, the default IP parameter is set to either Auto IP
or Legacy Default IP to match.
You can change the Default IP parameter by using a supported configuration tool, such as Telnet, a
Web browser, a printer control panel, or SNMP management applications.
DHCP requests enable/disable
When a default IPv4 address is assigned, you can configure the print server to send periodic DHCP
requests, which are used to retrieve IP configuration settings from a DHCP server on the network. By
default, this parameter is enabled, allowing transmission of DHCP requests. To disable this parameter,
use a supported configuration tool such as Telnet, a Web browser, or SNMP management
applications.
When an HP Jetdirect Wireless Print Server in a factory default state (without a network
connection) is initially turned on, it likely self-assigns a link-local IP address. If a network connection to a
DHCP server-based network is made, the IP address might be reconfigured because DHCP requests on
the print server are enabled by default.
IPv4 configuration
19
Default IPv4 behavior
When turned on, a factory-default print server connected to a network through a cable (wired), retrieves
its IPv4 settings by systematically using BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP. This can take several minutes to
complete. If configuration fails, a default IPv4 address is assigned.
Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address on the print server for initial
communication might not function without modification. To view the default IP address settings on the
print server, use the HP Jetdirect configuration page.
TCP/IP configuration tools
When a network connection is established, you can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with valid
TCP/IP parameters for your network, using the following methods:
●
Software solutions Use installation, setup, and management software running on supported
systems. For more information see
●
BOOTP/TFTP Download the data from a network-based server by using BOOTP and TFTP each
time the printer is turned on. For more information, see “
The BOOTP daemon (bootpd) must be running on a BOOTP server that is accessible by the
printer.
●
DHCP/TFTP Use DHCP and TFTP each time the printer is turned on. These protocols are
supported on HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, Windows Server 2003, Server 2008, NetWare, and Mac OS
systems. (See your network operating system manuals to verify that your server supports DHCP.)
For more information, see
HP software solutions summary on page 7.
Use BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4) on page 21”.
Use DHCP (IPv4) on page 36.
NOTE: For more information about Linux and UNIX systems, see the bootpd man page.
On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) might be located in the /etc
directory.
Because HP-UX does not currently provide dynamic domain name system (DDNS) services for its
DHCP implementations, HP recommends that you set all print server lease durations to infinite. This
ensures that print server IP addresses remain static until DDNS is provided.
●
RARP Use RARP to answer the print server's RARP request and supply the print server with the IP
address. The RARP method allows you to only configure the IP address. For more information, see
Use RARP (IPv4) on page 39”.
“
●
arp and ping commands (Only for print servers configured with Legacy default IP address
192.0.0.192) Use the arp and ping commands from your system. For more information, see
Use the arp and ping commands (IPv4) on page 40”.
“
●
Telnet Set configuration parameters by creating a Telnet connection from your system to the
HP Jetdirect print server, using the default IP address. Once configured, the print server saves the
configuration when turned off and then turned on. For more information, see “
on page 41”.
●
HP Embedded Web Server Use the HP Embedded Web Server on the HP Jetdirect print server
to set configuration parameters. For more information, see
on page 64.
HP Embedded Web Server (V.40.xx)
Use Telnet (IPv4)
●
Printer control panel (For printers that support HP Jetdirect control panel menus.) Manually
enter the configuration data, using the printer control panel keys. Because you can configure a
20 Chapter 3 TCP/IP configuration
limited subset of the configuration parameters, control panel configuration is recommended only
during troubleshooting or for simple installations. If control panel configuration is used, the print
server saves the configuration when turned off and then turned on. For more information, see “
the printer control panel on page 62”.
Use BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4)
BOOTP and TFTP provide a convenient way to automatically configure the HP Jetdirect print server for
TCP/IPv4 network operation. When turned on, the HP Jetdirect print server sends a BOOTP request
message onto the network. A properly configured BOOTP server on the network responds with a
message that contains basic network configuration data for the HP Jetdirect print server. The BOOTP
server's response can also identify a file (TFTP configuration file) that contains extended configuration
data for the print server. The HP Jetdirect print server uses TFTP to download this file from the BOOTP
server or from a separate TFTP server.
NOTE: If you are configuring an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, this section assumes that a wireless
network connection is established.
BOOTP/TFTP servers are typically UNIX or Linux systems. Windows Server 2003, Server 2008, and
NetWare servers can respond to BOOTP requests. Windows Server 2003 and Server 2008 servers
are configured through Microsoft DHCP services (see
Windows Server 2003 and Server 2008 systems might require third-party software for TFTP support.
For setup of NetWare BOOTP servers, see the NetWare documentation.
Use
Use DHCP (IPv4) on page 36). However,
NOTE: If the HP Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP server are located on different subnets, IPv4
configuration might fail unless the routing device supports BOOTP Relay, which allows the transfer of
BOOTP requests between subnets.
Advantages of using BOOTP/TFTP
Using BOOTP/TFTP to download configuration data has the following benefits:
Enhanced configuration control of the HP Jetdirect print server. Configuration by other methods,
●
such as a printer control panel, are limited to select parameters.
Ease of configuration management. Network configuration parameters for the entire network are
●
in one location.
Ease of HP Jetdirect print server configuration. Complete network configuration is automatically
●
downloaded each time the print server is turned on.
NOTE: BOOTP operation is similar to DHCP, but the resulting IP parameters are the same when
turned off and then turned on. In DHCP, IP configuration parameters are leased and might change over
time.
When in its factory-default state and turned on, the HP Jetdirect print server attempts to automatically
configure itself using several dynamic methods, including BOOTP.
Configure the print server using BOOTP/TFTP on UNIX
This section describes how to configure the print server using BOOTP and TFTP services on UNIX
servers. Use BOOTP and TFTP to download network configuration data from a server to the HP Jetdirect
print server over the network.
IPv4 configuration
21
Systems using network information service (NIS)
If your system uses NIS, you might need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP service before
performing the BOOTP configuration steps. See your system documentation.
Configure the BOOTP server
For the HP Jetdirect print server to obtain its configuration data over the network, the BOOTP/TFTP
servers must have the appropriate configuration files. The print server uses BOOTP to obtain entries in
the /etc/bootptab file on a BOOTP server. It uses TFTP to obtain additional configuration
information from a configuration file on a TFTP server.
When the HP Jetdirect print server is turned on, it broadcasts a BOOTP request that contains its MAC
(hardware) address. A BOOTP server daemon searches the /etc/bootptab file for a matching MAC
address, and if successful, sends the corresponding configuration data to the HP Jetdirect print server as
a BOOTP reply. The configuration data in the /etc/bootptab file must be correct. For a description
of entries, see
The BOOTP reply can contain the name of a configuration file that stores enhanced configuration
parameters. If the HP Jetdirect print server finds such a file, it uses TFTP to download the file and
configure itself using the parameters. For a description of the entries, see
(IPv4) on page 24. Configuration parameters retrieved through TFTP are optional.
NOTE: HP recommends that the BOOTP server be located on the same subnet as the printers it
serves. Routers that are incorrectly configured might not forward BOOTP broadcast packets.

Use DHCP (IPv4)
DHCP (RFC 2131/2132) is one of several automatic configuration mechanisms that the HP Jetdirect
print server uses. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the HP Jetdirect print server automatically
obtains its IP address from that server and registers its name with any RFC 1001- and 1002-compliant
dynamic name services if a WINS server IP address is specified.
You can also use a TFTP configuration file with DHCP to configure extended parameters. For more
information on TFTP parameters, see
NOTE: DHCP services must be available on the server. See your system documentation or online help
to install or enable DHCP services.
If you are configuring an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, this section assumes that a wireless network
connection is established.
If the HP Jetdirect print server and BOOT/DHCP server are located on different subnets, IP
configuration can fail unless the routing device allows for the transfer of DHCP requests between
subnets.
UNIX systems
Use BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4) on page 21.
For more information on setting up DHCP on UNIX systems, see the bootpd man page.
On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) might be located in the /etc directory.
36 Chapter 3 TCP/IP configuration
If your HP-UX system does not provide DDNS services for its DHCP implementation, HP recommends
that you set all print server lease durations to infinite. This ensures that print server IP addresses remain
static until dynamic domain name services are available.
Windows systems
HP Jetdirect print servers support IP configuration from a supported Windows DHCP server. This section
describes how to set up a pool or scope of IP addresses that the Windows server can assign or lease to
any requester. When configured for BOOTP or DHCP operation and turned on, the HP Jetdirect print
server automatically sends a BOOTP or DHCP request for its IP configuration. If properly set up, a
Windows DHCP server responds with the print server's IP configuration data.
NOTE: For specific topics or for additional support, see the information supplied with your DHCP
server software.
To avoid problems resulting from changing IP addresses, HP recommends assigning printers IP
addresses with infinite lease durations or using reserved IP addresses.
Windows Server 2003 and Server 2008
To set up a DHCP(IPv4) scope on a Windows Server 2003 or Server 2008 system, perform the
following steps:
Run the Windows DHCP manager utility.
1.
2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Open the Administrative Tools folder and run the
DHCP utility.
3. In the DHCP window, locate and select your Windows server in the DHCP tree.
If your server is not listed, select DHCP and click the Action menu to add the server.
4. Select your server in the DHCP tree, click the Action menu, and then select New Scope. This
runs the Add New Scope Wizard.
5. In the Add New Scope Wizard, click Next.
6. Enter a Name and Description for this scope, then click Next.
Enter the range of IP addresses for this scope (beginning and ending IP address), type the subnet
7.
mask, and then click Next.
NOTE: If subnetting is used, the subnet mask defines which portion of an IP address specifies the
subnet and which portion specifies the client device.
If applicable, type the range of IP addresses within the scope to be excluded by the server, and
8.
then click Next.
9. Set the IP address lease duration for your DHCP clients, and then click Next.
HP recommends that all printers be assigned reserved IP addresses. Do this after setting up the
scope (see step 11).
10. Select No to configure DHCP options for this scope later, and then click Next.
IPv4 configuration
37
To configure DHCP options now, select Yes. Click Next after each step.
Optional. Type the IP address of the router (or default gateway) to be used by clients.
a.
Optional. Type the Domain Name and DNS servers for clients.
b.
Optional. Type the WINS server names and IP addresses.
c.
d. Select Yes to activate the DHCP options now.
11. You have successfully set up the DHCP scope on this server. Click Finish to close the wizard.
To configure your printer with a reserved IP address within the DHCP scope, complete the
12.
following steps:
a. In the DHCP tree, open the folder for your scope and select Reservations.
b. Click the Action menu and select New Reservation.
Type the appropriate information in each field, including the reserved IP address for your
c.
printer. (Note: the MAC address for your HP Jetdirect-connected printer is available on the
HP Jetdirect configuration page.)
d. Under Supported types, select DHCP only, and then click Add. (Note: Selecting Both or
BOOTP only results in a configuration through BOOTP because of the sequence in which
HP Jetdirect print servers initiate configuration protocol requests.)
e. Specify another reserved client, or click Close. The reserved clients added are displayed in
the Reservations folder for this scope.
Close the DHCP manager utility.
13.
Discontinue DHCP configuration
CAUTION: Changes to an IP address on your HP Jetdirect print server can require updates to the
printer or system printing configurations for clients or servers.
If you do not want your HP Jetdirect print server configured through DHCP, reset it to use a different
method by selecting one of the following:
For IPv4 configured print servers, use the printer control panel to set Manual or BOOTP
1.
configuration. Once set, DHCP is not used.
Use Telnet to set Manual (status is User Specified) or BOOTP configuration. Once set, DHCP is not
2.
used.
Modify the TCP/IP parameters using the HP Embedded Web Server or HP Web Jetadmin.
3.
If you change to BOOTP configuration, the DHCP parameters are released and the TCP/IP protocol is
initialized.
If you change to Manual configuration, the DHCP IP address is released and the specified IP
parameters are used. If you manually provide the IPv4 address, set all of the
configuration parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway, and idle timeout.
38 Chapter 3 TCP/IP configuration
NOTE: If you re-enable a DHCP configuration, the print server acquires its configuration information
from a DHCP server. When you choose DHCP and complete your configuration session (using Telnet,
for example), the TCP/IP protocol for the print server is re-initialized and all current configuration
information is deleted. The print server then attempts to acquire new configuration information by
sending DHCP requests on the network to a DHCP server.
For DHCP configuration using Telnet, see Use Telnet (IPv4) on page 41 in this chapter.
Use RARP (IPv4)
You can configure the print server to use RARP on UNIX and Linux systems.
NOTE: If you are configuring an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, this section assumes that a wireless
network connection is established.
The procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your system to respond to an RARP request from
the HP Jetdirect print server and to supply the IP address to the print server. Configure RARP using the
following steps:
Turn the printer off.
1.
Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as the super user.
2.
Use the process status command to verify the RARP daemon is running on your system, as in the
3.
following example from the system prompt:
ps -ef | grep rarpd (Unix)
ps ax | grep rarpd (BSD or Linux)
The system response should be similar to the following:
4.
861 0.00.2 24 72 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
860 0.00.5 36 140 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
If the RARP daemon is not running on the system (the process is not in the process list), see the
5.
rarpd man page for instructions about starting the daemon.
Edit the /etc/hosts file to add your designated IP address and node name for the HP Jetdirect
6.
print server, as in the following example:
192.168.45.39 laserjet1
Edit the /etc/ethers file (/etc/rarpd.conf file in HP-UX 10.20) to add the LAN hardware
7.
address/station address (from the configuration page) and the node name for the HP Jetdirect
print server, as in the following example:
00:01:E6:a8:b0:00 laserjet1
NOTE: If your system uses Network Information Service (NIS), you need to incorporate changes
to the NIS host and ethers databases.
Turn the printer on.
8.
Verify that the card is configured with the correct IP address, by using the ping utility as in the
9.
following example:
ping <IP address>
IPv4 configuration
39
In the example, <IP address> is the assigned address from RARP.
If ping does not respond, see
10.
Troubleshoot the HP Jetdirect print server on page 125.
Use the arp and ping commands (IPv4)
You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address using the arp command from a
supported system. The workstation from which the configuration is made must be located on the same
network segment as the HP Jetdirect print server.
NOTE: If you are configuring an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, this section assumes that a wireless
network connection is established.
Using the arp and ping commands with HP Jetdirect print servers requires the following:
Windows XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP operation
●
Legacy default IP address of 192.0.0.192 on the print server
●
LAN hardware (MAC) address of the HP Jetdirect print server, specified on an HP Jetdirect
●
configuration page, or on a label attached to HP Jetdirect external print servers
NOTE: You might need root privileges to run the arp command.
After an IP address is assigned using the arp and ping commands, use other tools such as Telnet, the
HP Embedded Web Server, or HP Web Jetadmin to configure other IP parameters.
To configure an HP Jetdirect print server, use the following commands:
arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware address>
ping <IP address>
The <IP address> is the desired IP address assigned to the print server, and <LAN hardware
address> is the LAN hardware address of the print server. The arp command writes the entries to the
arp cache on the workstation. The ping command configures the IP address on the print server.
The LAN hardware address can require a specific format, as in the following examples:
Windows XP, Server 2003, or Server 2008
●
arp -s 192.168.45.39 00-01-E6-a2-31-98
ping 192.168.45.39
For UNIX
●
arp -s 192.168.45.39 00:01:E6:a2:31:98
ping 192.168.45.39
40 Chapter 3 TCP/IP configuration
NOTE: Once the IP address is set on the print server, additional arp and ping commands are
ignored. To again use arp and ping to configure the IP address, reset the print server to factory
values. See
On UNIX systems, the arp -s command can vary between different systems.
Some BSD systems expect the IP address (or host name) in reverse order. Other systems require
additional parameters. See your system documentation for specific command formats.
If you are configuring an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, this section assumes that a wirelss network
connection is established.
Troubleshoot the HP Jetdirect print server on page 125.
Use Telnet (IPv4)
This section describes how to configure the print server using Telnet.
NOTE: Telnet use and support depends on the print server product and the printer/MFP device in
which it is installed. Telnet might not be supported on value-featured print servers.
If you are configuring an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, this section assumes that a wireless network
connection is established.
Although you can protect a Telnet connection using an administrator password, Telnet connections are
not secure. For networks with high security requirements, you can disable Telnet connections on the
print server using TFTP, the HP Embedded Web Server, or HP Web Jetadmin.
Create a Telnet connection
To use Telnet commands with the HP Jetdirect print server, a route is required from your workstation to
the print server. If the print server and your computer have a similar IP address (the network portion of
their IPv4 addresses match), a route probably exists.
If the IPv4 addresses do not match, you can change your workstation's IPv4 address to match, or you
can attempt to create a route to the print server. (If the print server is configured with a legacy default IP
address such as 192.0.0.192, a route normally does not exist.)
CAUTION: Using Telnet to manually set an IPv4 address overrides dynamic IP configuration, such as
BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP, which results in a static configuration where IP values are fixed. This might
prevent BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP from functioning correctly.
When manually changing an IP address, you should also re-configure the subnet mask and the default
gateway.
On Windows systems, you can use the route command at a Windows command (DOS) prompt to
create a route to the print server.
For information about system command prompts, see the Windows online help. On Windows XP,
Server 2003, or Server 2008 systems, it is located in the Accessories folder in the Programs or All
Programs folder.
To use the route command, you need the IPv4 address of your workstation. To display it, enter the
appropriate command at the command prompt:
C:\> ipconfig (on Windows XP, Server 2003, or Server 2008)
To create a route from the system command prompt, use the following:
IPv4 configuration
41
route add <Jetdirect IP Address> <system IP Address>
The <Jetdirect IP address> is the IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server, and
<system IP address> is the IP address of the workstation's network card that is attached to the
same physical LAN as the print server.
For example, to create a route from your workstation with IP address 169.254.2.1 to a print server
with a default IP address of 192.0.0.192, enter the following:
route add 192.0.0.192 169.254.2.1
A typical Telnet session
Initiating a typical Telnet session is illustrated here.
To set configuration parameters, you must set up a Telnet session from your system to the HP Jetdirect
print server.
At the system prompt, type the following:
1.
telnet <IP address>
The <IP address> is the IP address listed on the HP Jetdirect configuration page. See
HP Jetdirect configuration pages on page 135.
A connection to the HP Jetdirect print server is displayed. If the server responds with connected

In the example, manual signifies manual configuration and ip sets the IP address on the
print server.
To clear the IP address, set the value to 0.0.0.0.
If you change this IP address, you must use it on the next Telnet connection.
Identify the network and host portions of an IPv4 address in received messages. For
example:
subnet-mask 255.255.255.0
In the example, 255.255.255.0 is stored on the print server. To clear the subnet IP
address and disable the mask, set the value to 0.0.0.0.
NOTE: If the HP Jetdirect print server is configured by DHCP and you manually change
the subnet mask or the default gateway address, you should also change the print server's
IP address. This releases the assigned DHCP address back to the DHCP IP address pool.
default-gw 192.168.40.1
In the example, 192.168.40.1 is the IP address of the default gateway.

or AppleTalk are not affected.
To reset all parameters to factory default values, see
on page 125.
Move to another network (IPv4)
When moving an HP Jetdirect print server that is configured with an IP address to a new network, make
sure that the IP address does not conflict with addresses on the new network. You might need to change
the IP address of the print server, or remove the current IP address and configure another address after
it is installed. See
print server to factory default settings.
NOTE: If you use an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, this section assumes that a wireless network
connection is established.
Moving an HP Jetdirect wireless print server to another network requires a new wireless connection to
that network.
If the current BOOTP server is not reachable, you might configure the print server to use a different
BOOTP server.
If the print server was configured using BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP, update the appropriate system files. If
the IP address was manually set (from the printer control panel or Telnet), reconfigure IP parameters as
described in this chapter.

Use the HP Embedded Web Server
You can use the HP Embedded Web Server on the HP Jetdirect print server to configure or view IPv4
and IPv6 parameters. For more information, see
HP Embedded Web Server (V.40.xx) on page 64.
Use the printer control panel
HP Jetdirect EIO or embedded print servers provide a configuration menu that you can open from the
printer's control panel. Using this menu, you can enable or disable network protocols and set basic
network parameters.
NOTE: Control panel configuration support of specific IPv4/IPv6 and IPsec networking parameters

NOTE: This section assumes that a wireless network connection is established.
If a wireless network connection is not established, you can use the HP Embedded Web Server to
configure the HP Jetdirect wireless print server with wireless settings for your network.
Before you can use the HP Embedded Web Server, configure the HP Jetdirect print server with an IP
address.
Using IPv6 protocols, addesses are typically configured automatically on the print server, although
manual configuration is available. For basic information on IPv6 addresses, see
on page 14.
Using IPv4 protocols, you can automatically configure IP parameters over the network, using BOOTP or
DHCP each time the print server is turned on. Or, you can manually configure IP parameters using the
printer's control panel (for selected printers), Telnet, the arp and ping commands, HP Web Jetadmin or
other management software. For more information on TCP/IP configuration options, see
configuration on page 14.
TCP/IP configuration
TCP/IP
When turned on, an HP Jetdirect print server that cannot retrieve a valid IP address from the network
automatically assigns itself either the default IPv4 address 192.0.0.192 or a link-local address in the
range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. You can determine the IP address configured on your print

server by inspecting the HP Jetdirect configuration page. See TCP/IP configuration on page 14 for
more information.
If the default IPv4 address 192.0.0.192 is assigned, you must temporarily set up your computer with
the same IP network number or establish a route to the print server before you can use the
HP Embedded Web Server.
To access the HP Embedded Web Server, perform the following steps:
Run a supported Web browser.
1.
Enter the IP address or FQDN of the print server as the URL.
2.
NOTE: For browsers that support direct IPv6 address entries, an IPv6 address is typically
enclosed in brackets ([ ]). See your system documentation.
If you do not know the FQDN for the device (for example, printer1.support.hp.com), enter the host
name (in this example, printer1). Your system might resolve an IP address for the device.

to the
If LPD printing is enabled, ten different named print queues are available. Four of these queues are
configured automatically and their parameters cannot be changed. You can configure the remaining
six queues.
NOTE: Value-based print servers do not support user-defined LPD queues.
You can set up the six modifiable queues with character strings, such as job control commands, that are
automatically added before or after the print job. You can define up to eight named strings, setting
each queue so that the named string either precedes (Prepend String Name) or follows (Append
String Name) the print data.
To set up a user-defined print queue, first define string names to prepend or append to the print job
using the appropriate queue type. You specify print queue use by setting up an LPD printer that uses
that queue. For example, if you set up a string “a” with a value of “abc” and string “z” with a value of
“xyz”, you can define print queue “az_queue” with a prepend string of “a”, and append string of “z”,
and a queue type of RAW. When you send a print job consisting of <formatted_text> through queue
az_queue, the job sent to the printer is “abc<formatted_text>xyz”.
CAUTION: Avoid using lowercase and uppercase characters to differentiate queue names.
Management of LPD queues by other tools (such as Telnet) can yield unpredictable results.
LPD Queue Parameters for setting up LPD queues are described in Table 4-14 LPD Queues tab

Default Queue Name Queue name to use if the queue specified for a print job is unknown. By default, this is AUTO.
String Name
Value
Processing instruction for the queue. Choose from these four queue types:
●
RAW No processing. Treats the data in a raw queue as a print job that is already
formatted in PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2, and sends it to the printer without modification.
(Prepend or Append strings are added to the job in the appropriate position.)
●
TEXT Carriage return added. Treats data in text queues as unformatted or ASCII text,
and adds a carriage return to each line before sending it to the printer.
●
AUTO (Automatic) Uses auto-sensing to determine whether the print data is sent as raw
or text.
●
BINPS (Binary PostScript) Instructs the PostScript interpreter to interpret the print job as
Binary PostScript data.
Name of a character string to use in the prepend/append queue table. Enter up to 32
alphanumeric characters. You can define up to eight character strings for use in LPD queues.
Define the value for the associated string name used in the prepend/append queue table. This
value is sent to the printer before or after the print data (as appropriate).
Character values can be in the extended ASCII range of 0 to 255 (hex 00 to FF). You can
specify a non-printing character using its hexadecimal value by entering a backslash (\)
followed by two hexadecimal characters. For example, to enter the escape character (hex 1B),
type “\1B”. If your string includes the back slash character itself, specify it as “\5C”. Enter up
to 240 characters in this field. The characters in the field are checked for hexadecimal values,
converted if necessary, and stored internally. The maximum number of characters stored
internally in the string is 80; any characters that exceed this are discarded.
Instructions for setting up an LPD printer are different for different operating systems. See LPD printing
on page 163 for details.
Example To reset an LPD printer at the start of each print job, you can create a print queue named
clear_printer that issues a PCL reset command (Escape-E) at the beginning of each job.
First, set up the print queue:
a. Name the string: Type reset_string into the String Name field in row 1.
b. Define the string's value: Type “\1BE” (Escape-E) into the Value field in row 1. (Alternatively, you
could type “\1B\45”.)
c. Name the queue: Type clear_printer into the Queue Name field in row 5.
d. Set up the prepend string: Type reset_string into the Prepend String field in row 5.
e. Leave the Append String field in row 5 blank.
f. Set the queue type: Set the Queue Type field in row 5 to RAW.
Then, set up the printer to use the queue, making sure to specify clear_printer when asked for a queue
name. (For details about setting up the printer, see
LPD printing on page 163.) After that, any print
jobs sent to the printer either from the server or from a client computer that has set up that printer,
includes a reset command at the beginning of the job.

Full Speed 12 Mbits/sec as specified in the USB v2.0 specifications, compatible
with USB v1.1 specifications.
●
Hi-Speed 480 Mbits/sec for USB v2.0 devices only.
●
Disconnected USB port is not connected.
Highest level of USB communication capabilities when the print server tries to establish a
communication level with the printer. If you change the current setting, unplug and then
reconnect the USB cable, or turn the print server off and then on, to activate it.
●
AUTO (default) Automatically attempt to set the highest level available, starting with
multiple interface (composite) USB devices, followed by IEEE 1284.4 and Multiple
Logical Changes (MLC). If not successful, subsequent levels are attempted.
●
IEEE 1284.4 Allows multiple channels of simultaneous print, scan, and status
communication, but without composite USB support. If not successful, subsequent
levels are attempted.
●
Multiple Logical Channels (MLC) An HP-proprietary protocol that allows
multiple channels of simultaneous print, scan, and status communication.
●
Bidirectional Basic two-way printer communications. Print data is sent to the
printing device, and status information is returned.
●
Unidirectional One-way printer communication from the print server to the printing
device. (This is the lowest communication level.)
The communication level set by the print server is reported on the HP Jetdirect
configuration page.
Status Page Language
Page description language (PDL) for the HP Jetdirect configuration page data sent to the
printer. Available options include PCL, ASCII, PostScript and HPGL2.
When set to AUTO (default), the print server automatically attempts to detect and select a
language supported by the device. Typically, HP-PCL is selected if available.
Support Info
