1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print
Server
HP Jetdirect print servers allow you to 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.
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 i n t h i s manual refers to an HP J e t d i rect
print server and not a separate computer running print server software.
Supported Print Servers
The features and capabilities of HP Jetdirect print servers depend on the print server's product model
and its operating firmware version. This manual describes features and capabilities for the product
models listed in the following table.

HP Jetdirect J7988G (en1700) external print server is a value-featured product that supports TCP/IP networks only. In addition,
selected TCP/IP printing environments are not supported, such as UNIX systems and IPP printing.
If not supplied with this product, HP network setup and management software for supported systems
may be obtained from HP support at:
http://www.hp.com/support/net_printing
For software to set up network printing on other systems, contact your system vendor.
ENWW Supported Network Protocols 3
Security Protocols
SNMP (IP and IPX)
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used by network management applications for device
management. HP Jetdirect print servers support access to SNMP and standard MIB-II (Management
Information Base) 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, such as HP Jetdirect en1700, support an SNMP v1/v2c agent only.
HTTPS
Both full-featured and value-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support Secure Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol (HTTPS) for secure, encrypted management communications between the embedded Web
server and your Web browser.
Authentication
EAP/802.1X Server-Based Authentication
As a network client, HP Jetdirect full-featured print servers support network access using 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 can allow or block access depending on client
authentication results.
When using an 802.1X connection, the print server supports Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
with an authentication server, such as a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC
2138) server.
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support the following EAP/802.1X methods:
PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). PEAP 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 TLS
(Transport Layer Security). Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications.
EAP-TLS (EAP using Transport Layer Security, RFC 2716). EAP-TLS 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 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, you must access the embedded Web server
through your Web browser. For more information, see
on page 61.
Embedded Web Server (V.36.xx)
4 Chapter 1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server ENWW
IPsec/Firewall
For full-featured print servers, IPsec/Firewall features provide network-layer security on both IPv4 and
IPv6 networks. A Firewall provides simple control of IP traffic; it is either permitted access or discarded.
Internet Protocol security (IPsec, RFC 2401) provides additional protection through authentication and
encryption protocols.
Value-featured print servers, such as HP Jetdirect en1700 do not support these features.
IPsec and Firewall capabilities depend on the HP Jetdirect print server product and the printer/MFP in
which it is installed.
Full-featured print servers and printers/MFPs that support IPsec may control IP traffic using both
●
Firewall and IPsec protection.
Full-featured print servers and printers/MFPs that do not support IPsec may control IP traffic using
●
Firewall protection only.
To help you configure the print server for IPsec/Firewall operation, a browser-based wizard is provided
that is accessed through the embedded Web server. For more information, see
Configuration (V.36.xx) on page 97.

HP Install Network Printer Wizard (Windows)
The HP Install Network Printer Wizard is a utility for printer discovery, setup and installation on a TCP/
IP network. On Windows XP and 2003 Server systems, Version 5.0 also supports printing on an IPv6
network, but printer discovery is limited to IPv4 protocols. Version 6.0 supports printer discovery on an
IPv6 network.
For wireless print servers, the wizard includes modules that allow you to first configure wireless settings
on the print server so that it can connect to your network.
Once your printers have a network connection (either through a cabled/wired connection or a wireless
connection), the wizard installs the printer on your systems or servers that will send print jobs directly
to the printer. This is called “direct-mode”, or “peer-to-peer” printing.

HP Jetdirect print servers support Bonjour (formerly known as Rendezvous) technology for printer
discovery and installation over a TCP/IP network.
NOTE: For a Mac OS X v10.4 system, the printer must be on the same network segment, that
is, not across a router.
In addition, the Network Port Configurations setting must have the appropriate network port
enabled (for example, Built-in Ethernet is active) and is listed at the top of the ports list.
To uniquely identify a printer on a network that contains many printers, print a Jetdirect
Configuration page from the printer control panel. That page will contain unique identification
information for the printer.
To use Bonjour for printer discovery and network configuration through the embedded Web server
directly:
1. Open Safari and click the bookmark icon.
2. In the bookmark list, select Bonjour. A list of discovered printers is displayed.
3. Identify and select your printer. A string of hexadecimal digits will be listed with the printer. These
digits should match the LAN hardware address (or the last 6 digits of the address) on the Jetdirect
configuration page for the printer.
4. Double-click the printer to access the embedded Web server on the printer. Configure your desired
network settings using the Networking tab.
To add the printer to your system for printing:

16 Chapter 2 HP Software Solutions Summary ENWW
3 TCP/IP Configuration
To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with valid
TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address that is valid for your network.
HP Jetdirect print server supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks simultaneously. Print server
configuration for IPv4 operation remains the same as prior Jetdirect products.
IPv6 Configuration
HP Jetdirect print servers provide basic configuration capabilities for operation on an Internet Protocol
version 6 (IPv6) network. For IPv6 printing services, the print server supports raw IP printing (through
HP-proprietary TCP port 9100), LPD printing (through standard TCP port 515), IPP printing (through
standard TCP port 631), and FTP printing (through standard TCP ports 20, 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
where h is a hexadecimal digit 1 through 0, A through F. This is sometimes called colon hexadecimal
format.
Depending on the application, an IPv6 address may be entered or displayed using a shortened version
when successive fields contain all zeros (0). In this case, two colons (::) are used. In addition, leading
zeros in a field can be omitted. For example, the following IPv6 address:
2001:0DB8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0200:bb02
may be entered or displayed as
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
addressing, a prefix length of 64 is typically used to specify 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.
ENWW IPv6 Configuration 17
For example, portions of the IPv6 address space that are reserved are illustrated below:
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 may be used to
specify an entire network/subnet. Or, it may be used to specify the network portion of a complete host
address. For example, in the following host address:
2001:DB8:1234:5678:abcd::ef01/64
/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, refer to the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF) IPv6 RFCs, or see the documentation supplied with your IPv6-supported system or
router.
IPv6 Address Configuration
While IPv6 addresses are relatively complex, most IPv6 addresses for the print server are automatically
configured in accordance with the IPv6 standards. If necessary, the print server will allow a manuallyconfigured IPv6 address (for example, through the printer control panel or embedded Web server). If
the print server is enabled for IPv6 operation, all IPv6 addresses that are automatically configured are
active; however, a manually-configured address is disabled by default 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, the print server
can be configured 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 will assign itself a link-local address, a router-based infrastucture 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 particularly attractive 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.
18 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
The print server must receive Router Advertisement messages which are periodically sent by a router.
These messages, among other things, contain one or more IPv6 prefix options (for example, specifying
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 may be preferred 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 a DHCPv6 server is to be used for stateful configuration. You can
select one of the following DHCPv6 policies for the print server to use:
Under router control: DHCPv6 stateful configuration will be used when requested by the router.
●
Stateless configuration fails: Use DHCPv6 stateful configuration if stateless configuration fails.
●
Always use DHCPv6: On startup, always use DHCPv6 for stateful configuration.
●
Stateful configuration is useful when host configuration beyond what a router can provide is necessary
(such as a domain name or DNS server addresses).
Using DNS
HP Jetdirect print servers support the configuration of IPv6 Domain Name System (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 may be cumbersome. Some client applications may not even support the direct entry
of an IPv6 address. However, name resolution may be available for the print server provided 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 will not be
automatically supplied to DNS servers.
ENWW IPv6 Configuration 19
Tools and Utilities
Similar to IPv4 environments, system tools and utilities for IPv6 networks are available to access or
troubleshoot communications with the print server. However, these tools and utilities may require
different command formats depending on your system. Some examples are listed below.
ipconfig /all or ipv6 if: From the Windows command line prompt, these commands will identify
●
IPv6 addresses for various interfaces configured on the system. Note that an interface IPv6 address
may contain a ScopeID, which is an interface index identifier (for example, “%3”) appended to a
link-local IPv6 address.
ping6: From the Windows XP command line prompt, this command sends test packets to a remote
●
interface and reports response packets from that interface. The command format is:
ping6 <IPv6 address><%ScopeID>
where <IPv6 address> is the address of the remote host interface (such as the print server).
The <%ScopeID> value may be needed to uniquely specify the interface on the local system if 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 with %3 appended to its link-local address, you would
use the following command:
NOTE: On Windows Server 2003, the ping command may be used for an IPv6 address
by specifying the appropriate command option.
ping6 fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd%3
Note that depending on the local interface used, a route to the remote host address may need to
be created.
IPv6 addresses as URL: As a URL in a Web browser, an IPv6 address must be enclosed in
●
brackets. For example, to access the print server's embedded Web server, enter:
http://[fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd]
where fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd is the IPv6 address of the print server.
NOTE: The browser must support direct IPv6 addressing as a URL, such as Mozilla Firefox
1.x. Your Microsoft Internet Explorer version may not support direct IPv6 addressing.
For detailed information on these and other tools, see your system documentation and help.
IPv4 Configuration
This section provides IPv4–specific configuration information for HP Jetdirect print servers on a TCP/
IPv4 network.
Server-Based and Manual TCP/IP Configuration (IPv4)
When in a factory-default state and powered on, the HP Jetdirect print server will try to obtain its TCP/
IP configuration using a server-based method, such as BOOTP/TFTP, DHCP/TFTP, or RARP. These
server-based methods are described later in this chapter. Depending on the print server model, up to
20 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
two minutes may be used for these methods. If configuration is not successful, a default IP address will
be assigned.
The print server may also be configured manually. Manual-based tools include 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 management software. TCP/IP configuration values assigned manually will be retained
when powered off/on.
The print server can be reconfigured to use either server-based or manual configuration of TCP/IP
settings at any time.
To identify the IP address that is configured on the print server at any time, see the HP Jetdirect
configuration page.
Default IP Address (IPv4)
When in a factory-default state (for example, when shipped from the factory or after a cold-reset), the
HP Jetdirect print server has no IP address. A default IP address may or may not be assigned depending
on the network environment.
Default IP Address Will Not Be Assigned
A default IP address will not be assigned if a server-based method (such as BOOTP or DHCP) is
successful. And if the print server is powered off/on, the same method will again be used to retrieve IP
configuration settings. If this method now fails to retrieve the IP configuration settings (for example, the
BOOTP or DHCP server is no longer available), a default IP address will not be assigned. Instead, the
print server will continue to send IP configuration requests indefinitely. You must cold-reset the print
server to change this behavior.
In addition, a default IP address will not be assigned if a network cable is not attached to a wired print
server.
Default IP Address Will Be Assigned
A default IP address will be assigned if the factory-default methods fail, or if the print server has just
been reconfigured by an administrator to use a server-based method (such as BOOTP or DHCP) that
fails.
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 21
If a default IP address is assigned, the address will depend 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:
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 may be referenced as Auto IP. The IP
address assigned will be in the range of 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 (commonly referenced
as 169.254/16). However, it can be further modified for your network using supported TCP/IP
configuration tools if necessary.
With link-local addresses, subnetting is not used. The subnet mask will be 255.255.0.0, and cannot
be changed.
Link-local addresses will not route off the local link, and access to or from the Internet will not be
available. The default gateway address will be the same as the link-local address.
If a duplicate address is sensed, the HP Jetdirect print server will automatically reassign 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 will be assigned until it is
●
reconfigured with a valid address through supported TCP/IP configuration tools. We refer to this
address as Legacy Default IP.
On mixed-environment networks, the self-assigned default IP address may be either 169.254/16
●
or 192.0.0.192. In this case, you should verify on the Jetdirect configuration page that the assigned
default IP address is as expected.
The IP address configured on your print server may be determined by inspecting the Jetdirect
configuration page for the print server. See
HP Jetdirect Configuration Pages on page 127.
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 will
determine 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 (either a link-local IPv4 address or
the legacy default 192.0.0.192 IP address), the Default IP parameter will be set to either Auto IP or
Legacy Default IP to match.
The Default IP parameter can be changed through a supported configuration tool, such as Telnet, a
Web browser, a printer control panel, and SNMP management applications.
DHCP Requests Enable/Disable
When a default IPv4 address is assigned, you can configure the print server to send, or not send, periodic
DHCP requests. DHCP requests are used to retrieve IP configuration settings from a DHCP server on
the network. By default, this parameter is enabled, allowing DHCP requests to be transmitted. However,
this parameter may be disabled through supported configuration tools such as Telnet, a Web browser,
and SNMP management applications.
22 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Default IPv4 Behavior
When powered on, a factory-default print server connected to a network through a cable (wired) will
systematically use BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP to retrieve its IPv4 settings. Up to two minutes are used.
If configuration is not successful, a default IPv4 address will be assigned as described previously.
Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address on the print server for initial communication
may not work without modification. For the default IP address settings actually configured on the print
server, see the Jetdirect configuration page.
TCP/IP Configuration Tools
When a network connection has been established, an HP Jetdirect print server can be configured with
valid TCP/IP parameters for your network in the following ways:
Using Software. You can use installation, setup, and management software running on supported
●
systems. For more information see
BOOTP/TFTP. You can download the data from a network-based server using BOOTP (Bootstrap
●
Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) 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. You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and TFTP (Trivial File
●
Transfer Protocol) each time the printer is turned on. These protocols are supported on HP-UX,
Solaris, Linux, Windows 2000/Server 2003, NetWare and Mac OS systems. (Refer to your network
operating system manuals to verify that your server operating system supports DHCP.) For more
information, see “
Using BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4) on page 24”.
Using DHCP (IPv4) on page 36”.
HP Software Solutions Summary on page 9.
NOTE: Linux and UNIX systems: For more information, see the bootpd “man” page.
On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) may be located in the /
etc directory.
Since HP-UX presently does not provide Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) 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 such time as Dynamic
Domain Name Services are provided.
RARP. A network-based server can use RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) to answer
●
the print server's RARP request and supplying the print server with the IP address. The RARP
method only allows you to configure the IP address. For more information, see “
on page 39”.

“
Telnet. You can set configuration parameters using Telnet. In order to set configuration
●
parameters, set up a Telnet connection from your system to the HP Jetdirect print server using the

you to configure only a limited subset of configuration parameters. Therefore, 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 powered off/on. For more
information, see “
Using the Printer Control Panel on page 59”.
Using BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4)
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) provide a convenient way to
automatically configure the HP Jetdirect print server for TCP/IPv4 network operation. When powered
on, the Jetdirect print server sends a BOOTP request message onto the network. A properly configured
BOOTP server on the network will respond with a message that contains basic network configuration
data for the Jetdirect print server. The BOOTP server's response may also identify a file that contains
extended configuration data for the print server. The Jetdirect print server downloads this file using
TFTP. This TFTP configuration file may be located on the BOOTP server, or a separate TFTP server.
BOOTP/TFTP servers are typically UNIX or Linux systems. Windows 2000/Server 2003 and NetWare
servers can respond to BOOTP requests. Windows 2000/Server 2003 servers are configured through
Microsoft DHCP services (see
systems may require third-party software for TFTP support. For setup of NetWare BOOTP servers, refer
to your NetWare documentation.
Embedded Web Server (V.36.xx)
Using DHCP (IPv4) on page 36). However, Windows 2000/Server 2003
NOTE: If the Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP server are located on different subnets,
IPv4 configuration may fail unless the routing device supports “BOOTP Relay” (allows the transfer
of BOOTP requests between subnets).
Why Use 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 can
●
be in one location.
Ease of HP Jetdirect print server configuration. Complete network configuration can be
●
automatically downloaded each time the print server is powered on.
NOTE: BOOTP operation is similar to DHCP, but the resulting IP parameters will be the same
when powered off/on. In DHCP, IP configuration parameters are leased and may change over
time.
When in its factory-default state and powered on, the HP Jetdirect print server will attempt to
automatically configure itself using several dynamic methods, one of which is BOOTP.
24 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
BOOTP/TFTP on UNIX
This section describes how to configure the print server using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP
(Trivial File Transfer Protocol) services on UNIX servers. BOOTP and TFTP are used to download
network configuration data from a server to the HP Jetdirect print server over the network.
Systems That Use Network Information Service (NIS)
If your system uses NIS, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP service before performing
the BOOTP configuration steps. Refer to your system documentation.
Configuring the BOOTP Server
For the HP Jetdirect print server to obtain its configuration data over the network, the BOOTP/TFTP
servers must be set up with the appropriate configuration files. BOOTP is used by the print server to
obtain entries in the /etc/bootptab file on a BOOTP server, while TFTP is used to obtain additional
configuration information from a configuration file on a TFTP server.
When the HP Jetdirect print server is powered 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 Jetdirect print server as
a BOOTP reply. The configuration data in the /etc/bootptab file must be properly entered. For a
description of entries, see “
The BOOTP reply may contain the name of a configuration file containing enhanced configuration
parameters. If the HP Jetdirect print server finds such a file, it will use TFTP to download the file and
configure itself with these parameters. For a description of entries, see “
(IPv4) on page 27”. Configuration parameters retrieved through TFTP are optional.
Bootptab File Entries (IPv4) on page 25”.
TFTP Configuration File Entries
NOTE: HP recommends that the BOOTP server be located on the same subnet as the printers
it serves. BOOTP broadcast packets may not be forwarded by routers unless the routers
are properly configured.
Bootptab File Entries (IPv4)
An example of a /etc/bootptab file entry for IPv4 configuration of an HP Jetdirect print server is
provided below:

30 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Table 3-2 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (continued)
syslog-max:
Specifies the maximum number of syslog messages that can be sent by the HP Jetdirect print server on a per-minute
basis. This setting allows administrators to control the log file size. The default is 10 per minute. If it's set to zero, the
number of syslog messages is not restricted.
syslog-priority:
Controls the filtering of syslog messages sent to the syslog server. The filter range is 0 to 7, with 0 being the most specific
and 7 the most general. Only messages that are lower than the filter level specified (or higher in priority) are reported. The
default is 7, messages of all priorities are sent. If set to 8, all syslog messages are disabled.
syslog-facility:
A code used to identify the source facility of a message (for example, to identify the source of selected messages during
troubleshooting). By default, the HP Jetdirect print server uses LPR as the source facility code, but local user values of
local0 through local7 can be used to isolate individual or groups of print servers.
slp-config:
Enables or disables the Service Location Protocol (SLP) operation on the print server: 0 disables, 1 (default) enables.
slp-keep-alive:
Specifies a time period for the print server to send multicast packets on the network to prevent being deleted from network
device tables. Some infrastructure devices, such as switches, may delete active devices from their device tables due to
inactivity on the network. To enable this feature, set a value from 1 to 1440 minutes. Set 0 to disable this feature.
ttl-slp:
Specifies the IP multicast “Time To Live” (TTL) setting for Service Location Protocol (SLP) packets. The default value is

enables.
NOTE: If this parameter is disabled, other protocols that use multicast protocols, such as Bonjour and SLP, may also
be disabled without notification.
idle-timeout:
The number of seconds that an idle print data connection is allowed to remain open. Since the card supports only a single
TCP connection, the idle timeout balances the opportunity of a host to recover or complete a print job against the ability
of other hosts to access the printer. The acceptable values range from 0 to 3600 (1 hour). If “0” is typed, the timeout
mechanism is disabled. The default is 270 seconds.
user-timeout: (or telnet-timeout:)
An integer (1..3600) that specifies the number of seconds that your Telnet or FTP session can be idle before it will be
automatically disconnected. The default is 900 seconds. 0 disables the timeout.
CAUTION: Small values, such as 1 to 5, may effectively disable the use of Telnet. A Telnet session may
terminate before any changes can be made.
ews-config: (or web:)
Enables or disables the print server's embedded Web server: 0 disables, 1 (default) enables.
tcp-mss: (or subnets-local:)
Specifies the maximum segment size (MSS) that the HP Jetdirect print server will advertise for use when communicating
with local subnets (Ethernet MSS=1460 bytes or more) or remote subnets (MSS=536 bytes):
0 (default): All networks are assumed to be local (Ethernet MSS=1460 bytes or more).
1: Use MSS=1460 bytes (or more) for subnets, and MSS=536 bytes for remote networks.
2: All networks are assumed to be remote (MSS=536 bytes), except the local subnet.
MSS affects performance by helping to prevent IP fragmentation that may result in data retransmission.
tcp-msl:
Specifies the maximum segment life (MSL) in seconds. The range is 5–120 seconds. The default is 15 seconds.
telnet-config: (or telnet:)
If set to 0, this parameter instructs the print server not to allow incoming Telnet connections. To regain access, change
the setting in the TFTP configuration file and power cycle the print server, or cold reset the print server to factory default
values. If this parameter is set to 1, incoming Telnet connections are allowed.
default-ip:
Specifies the IP address to use when the print server is unable to obtain an IP address from the network during a forced
TCP/IP reconfiguration (for example, when powered off/on or manually configured to use BOOTP/DHCP).
DEFAULT_IP: sets the legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192.
AUTO_IP: sets a link-local IP address 169.254.x.x.
The initial setting is determined by the IP address obtained when first powered on.
32 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Table 3-2 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (continued)
default-ip-dhcp:
Specifies whether DHCP requests will be periodically transmitted when a legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 or linklocal IP address 169.254.x.x has been automatically assigned.
0: Disables DHCP requests.
1 (default): Enables DHCP requests.
dhcp-arbitration:
Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that the print server will wait for DHCP configuration offers. A value from 1 to

statistical data on product use may be sent to HP. For HP to collect data, Internet access is required.
2: Prompt the user to allow sending data on initial access to the Networking tab of the embedded Web server. This is the
factory-default and cold-reset value. Once changed, this value cannot be re-selected.
1: Allows the sending of data to HP without prompting the user.
0: Disables sending data to HP without prompting the user.
web-refresh:
Specifies the time interval (1–99999 seconds) for embedded Web server diagnostic page updates. If set to 0, the refresh
rate is disabled.
SNMP
snmp-config:
Enables or disables SNMP operation on the print server. 0 disables, 1 (default) enables SNMP.
CAUTION: Disabling SNMP will disable all SNMP agents (SNMP v1, v2, v3) as well as communications with
HP Web Jetadmin. In addition, firmware upgrades through current HP downloading utilities will be disabled.
get-cmnty-name: (or get-community-name:)
Specifies a password that determines which SNMP GetRequests the HP Jetdirect print server will respond to. This is
optional. If a user-specified get community name is set, the print server will respond to either a user-specified community
name or the factory-default. The community name must be ASCII characters. The maximum length is 255 characters.
set-cmnty-name: (or set-community-name:)
Specifies a password that determines which SNMP SetRequests (control functions) the HP Jetdirect print server will
respond to. The community name of an incoming SNMP SetRequest must match the print server's “set community name”
for the print server to respond. (For additional security, you may limit configuration access through the print server's host
access list). Community names must be ASCII characters. The maximum length is 255 characters.
auth-trap: (or authentication-trap:)
Configures the print server to send (on) or not send (off) SNMP authentication traps. Authentication traps indicate that an
SNMP request was received, but the community name check failed. The default is “on.”
trap-dest: (or trap-destination:)
Enters a host's IP address into the HP Jetdirect print server's SNMP trap destination list. The command format is:
trap-dest: <ip-address> [community name] [port number]
The default community name is “public”; the default SNMP port number is “162”. The port number cannot be specified
without a community name.
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 33
Table 3-2 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (continued)
If a “trap-community-name” command is followed by “trap-dest” commands, the trap community name will be
assigned to those entries unless a different community name is specified in each “trap-dest” command.
To delete the table, use “trap-dest: 0”.
If the list is empty, the print server does not send SNMP traps. The list may contain up to six entries. The default SNMP
Trap Destination List is empty. To receive SNMP traps, the systems listed on the SNMP trap destination list must have a
trap daemon to listen to those traps.

NOTE: HP Jetdirect 635n print servers: except for TCP/IP, network protocols are disabled by factory default.
Other Settings
link-type:
(For wired 10/100/1000T Ethernet) Sets the print server's link speed (10, 100, 1000 Mbps) and communication mode (Fullor Half-Duplex). The available link-speed selections depend on the print server model. Selections are AUTO, 1000FULL,
100AUTO, 100FULL, 100HALF, 10FULL, 10HALF.
For AUTO (default), the print server uses auto-negotiation to configure itself with the highest link speed and communication
mode allowed. If auto-negotiation fails, either 100TX HALF or 10TX HALF is set depending on the detected link speed
of the hub/switch port. (A 1000T half-duplex selection is not supported.)
upgrade:
To configure one or more Jetdirect print servers with the name and location of a firmware upgrade file.
CAUTION: Ensure that command parameters are properly entered and that the upgrade file is a higher version
than the currently installed version. The print server will attempt to upgrade when the upgrade file contains a
higher version than the installed version.
The command format is:
upgrade: <TFTP server IP> <Version> <Product Number> <Filename>
where,
<TFTP Server IP> is the IP address of the TFTP server,
<Version> specifies the firmware version of the upgrade file,
<Product Number> specifies and must match the product number of the print server,
<Filename> is the path and filename of the firmware upgrade file.
usb-mode:

Using DHCP (IPv4)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto 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 as long as a WINS (Windows Internet
Naming Service) server IP address has been specified.
A TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) configuration file may also be used with DHCP to configure
extended parameters. For more information on TFTP parameters, see “
on page 24”.
NOTE: DHCP services must be available on the server. Refer to your system documentation
or online help to install or enable DHCP services.
NOTE: If the Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP server are located on different subnets,
IP configuration may fail unless the routing device allows the transfer of DHCP requests between
subnets.
Using BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4)
UNIX Systems
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) may be located in the /etc directory.
36 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
If your HP-UX system does not provide Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) 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 powered 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 will respond with the print server's IP configuration data.
NOTE: This information is provided as an overview. For specific information or for additional
support, see the information supplied with your DHCP server software.
NOTE: To avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that change, HP recommends that all
printers be assigned IP addresses with infinite leases or reserved IP addresses.
Windows 2000 Server/Server 2003
To set up a DHCP(IPv4) scope on a Windows 2000 server or Server 2003 system, perform the following
steps:
1. Run the Windows DHCP manager utility.
Windows 2000: Click Start, then select Settings and Control Panel. Open the
●
Administrative Tools folder and run the DHCP utility.
Server 2003: Click Start, then select Control Panel. Open the Administrative Tools folder
●
and run the DHCP utility.
2. In the DHCP window, locate and select your Windows server in the DHCP tree.
If your server is not listed in the tree, select DHCP and click the Action menu to add the server.
3. After selecting your server in the DHCP tree, click the Action menu and select New Scope. This
runs the Add New Scope Wizard.
4. In the Add New Scope Wizard, click Next.
5. Enter a Name and Description for this scope, then click Next.
6. Enter the range of IP addresses for this scope (beginning IP address and ending IP address). Also,
enter the subnet mask. 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.
7. If applicable, enter the range of IP addresses within the scope to be excluded by the server. Then
click Next.
8. Set the IP address lease duration for your DHCP clients. Then click Next.
HP recommends that all printers be assigned reserved IP addresses. This can be accomplished
after you set up the scope (see step 11).
9. Select No to configure DHCP options for this scope later. Then click Next.
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 37
To configure DHCP options now, select Yes and click Next.
a. If desired, specify the IP address of the router (or default gateway) to be used by clients. Then
click Next.
b. If desired, specify the Domain Name and DNS (Domain Name System) servers for clients.
Click Next.
c. If desired, specify WINS server names and IP addresses. Click Next.
d. Select Yes to activate the DHCP options now, and click Next.
10. You have successfully set up the DHCP scope on this server. Click Finish to close the wizard.
11. Configure your printer with a reserved IP address within the DHCP scope:
a. In the DHCP tree, open the folder for your scope and select Reservations.
b. Click the Action menu and select New Reservation.
c. Enter the appropriate information in each field, including the reserved IP address for your
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, then click Add. (Note: Selecting Both or BOOTP
only will result in a configuration through BOOTP due to the sequence in which HP Jetdirect
print servers initiate configuration protocol requests.)
e. Specify another reserved client, or click Close. The reserved clients added will be displayed
in the Reservations folder for this scope.
12. Close the DHCP manager utility.
To Discontinue DHCP Configuration
CAUTION: Changes to an IP address on your HP Jetdirect print server may require updates
to printer or system printing configurations for clients or servers.
If you do not want your HP Jetdirect print server configured through DHCP, you must re-configure the
print server to use a different configuration method.
1. (For IPv4 configuration) If you use the printer control panel to set Manual or BOOTP configuration,
then DHCP will not be used.
2. You can use Telnet to set Manual (status indicates “User Specified”) or BOOTP configuration, then
DHCP will not be used.
3. You can manually modify the TCP/IP parameters through a supported Web browser using the
Jetdirect embedded Web server or HP Web Jetadmin.
If you change to BOOTP configuration, the DHCP-configured parameters are released and the TCP/IP
protocol is initialized.
If you change to Manual configuration, the DHCP-configured IP address is released and the userspecified IP parameters are used. Therefore, if you manually provide the IPv4 address, you should
also manually set all of the configuration parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway,
and idle timeout.
38 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
NOTE: If you choose to re-enable a DHCP configuration, the print server will acquire its
configuration information from a DHCP server. This means that 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 through Telnet, refer to “Using Telnet (IPv4) on page 41” in this chapter.
Using RARP (IPv4)
This section describes how to configure the print server using the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
(RARP) on UNIX and Linux systems.
This setup procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your system to respond to a RARP request
from the HP Jetdirect print server and to supply the IP address to the print server.
1. Turn the printer off.
2. Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as a superuser.
3. Make sure the RARP daemon is running on your system by typing the following command at the
system prompt:
ps -ef | grep rarpd (Unix)
ps ax | grep rarpd (BSD or Linux)
4. The system response should be similar to the following:
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
5. If the system does not display a process number for the RARP daemon, see the rarpd man page
for instructions on starting the RARP daemon.
6. Edit the /etc/hosts file to add your designated IP address and node name for the HP Jetdirect
print server. For example:
192.168.45.39 laserjet1
7. Edit the /etc/ethers file (/etc/rarpd.conf file in HP-UX 10.20) to add the LAN hardware
address/station address (from the configuration page) and the node name for the HP Jetdirect print
server. For 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.
8. Turn the printer on.
9. To verify that the card is configured with the correct IP address, use the ping utility. At the prompt,
type:
ping <IP address>
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 39
where <IP address> is the assigned address from RARP.
10. If ping does not respond, see
Troubleshooting the HP Jetdirect Print Server on page 117.
Using the arp and ping Commands (IPv4)
You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address using an ARP (Address Resolution
Protocol) command from a supported system. The protocol is not routable, that is, the workstation from
which the configuration is made must be located on the same network segment as the HP Jetdirect print
server.
Using the arp and ping commands with HP Jetdirect print servers requires the following:
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP operation
●
A legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 has been set on the print server
●
The 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: On some systems, super-user rights may be required for the arp command.
After an IP address is assigned through arp and ping commands, use other tools (such as Telnet,
embedded Web server, or HP Web Jetadmin software) to configure other IP parameters.
To configure a Jetdirect print server, use the following commands:
arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware address>
ping <IP address>
where <IP address> is the desired IP address to be 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, and the ping command configures the IP address on the
print server.
Depending on the system, the LAN hardware address may require a specific format.
For example:
For Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003
●
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 ENWW
NOTE: Once the IP address has been set on the print server, additional arp and ping
commands will be ignored. Once the IP address is configured, arp and ping cannot be used
unless the print server is reset to factory values (see
Server on page 117).
On UNIX systems, the arp -s command may vary between different systems.
Some BSD-based systems expect the IP address (or host name) in reverse order. Other systems
may require additional parameters. See your system documentation for specific command
formats.
Using Telnet (IPv4)
This section describes how to configure the print server using Telnet.
NOTE: The support and use of Telnet depends on the print server product and the printer/MFP
device in which it is installed. For value-featured print servers, Telnet may not be supported.
Although a Telnet connection may be protected by an administrator password, Telnet connections are
not secure. For networks with high security levels, Telnet connections can be disabled on the print server
using other tools (for example, TFTP, embedded Web server, or HP Web Jetadmin software).
Creating a Telnet Connection
Troubleshooting the HP Jetdirect Print
To use Telnet commands with the HP Jetdirect print server, a route must be available from your
workstation to the print server. If the print server and your computer have a similar IP address, that is,
the network portion of their IPv4 addresses match, chances are that a route will exist.
If their IPv4 addresses do not match, then you can either change your workstation's IPv4 address to
match, or you can try an operating system command to create a route to the print server. (For example,
if the print server is configured with a legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192, a route will not likely exist.)
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 on system command prompts, see your Windows online help. On Windows 2000/XP/
Server 2003 systems, it is in the Accessories folder in the Programs or All Programs folder.
To use the route command, you will also need the IPv4 address of your workstation. To view it, you can
enter the appropriate command at the command prompt:
C:\> ipconfig (on Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003)
To create a route from the system command prompt, enter the following command:
route add <Jetdirect IP Address> <system IP Address>
where <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, try this command:
route add 192.0.0.192 169.254.2.1
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 41
CAUTION: Using Telnet to manually set an IPv4 address will override dynamic IP configuration
(such as BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP), resulting in a static configuration. In a static configuration,
the IP values are fixed and the operation of BOOTP, DHCP, RARP and other dynamic
configuration methods may no longer function.
Whenever you are manually changing an IP address, you should also re-configure the subnet
mask and default gateway at the same time.
A Typical Telnet Session
Initiating a typical Telnet session is illustrated below.
To set configuration parameters, you must set up a Telnet session from your system to the HP Jetdirect
print server.
1. Type the following at the system prompt:
telnet <IP address>
where <IP address> is the IP address listed on the Jetdirect configuration page. See
Configuration Pages on page 127.
2. A connection to the HP Jetdirect print server will be displayed. If the server responds with
“connected to IP address”, press Enter twice to make sure that the Telnet connection is
initialized.
3. If prompted for a user name and password, enter the correct values.
42 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
HP Jetdirect
By default, the Telnet interface does not require a user name or password. If an administrator
password has been set, you will be prompted for a user name and this password before you can
enter and save Telnet command settings.
4. By default, a Command Line interface is provided. To configure parameters using a Menu interface,
enter Menu. For more information, see “
User Interface Options on page 43”.
For a list of supported commands and parameters, see
on page 44.
User Interface Options
The HP Jetdirect print server provides two interface options to enter Telnet commands: a Command
Line Interface (Default) on page 43 and a Menu Interface on page 57.
Command Line Interface (Default)
Using the Telnet command line interface, you can set configuration parameters using the following
procedures:
NOTE: During a Telnet session, enter ? to view available commands, command formats, and
configuration parameters supported by the print server.
To list additional (or advanced) commands, enter the command advanced before entering ?.
To display current configuration information, enter /.
1. At the Telnet prompt “>”, type:
<command parameter>: <value>
then press Enter, where <command parameter> refers to the configuration parameter you are
defining, and <value> refers to the definitions you are assigning to that parameter. Each command
entry is followed by pressing Enter (carriage return).
Table 3-3 Telnet Commands and Parameters

See
2. Repeat the previous step to set any additional configuration parameters.
3. When you have finished typing the configuration parameters, type exit or quit (depending on
your system).
When prompted whether to save settings that you have changed, enter Y (default) for Yes, or N for
No.
If you enter save instead of exit or quit, you will not be prompted to save settings.

169.254.x.x.
ipsec-config
firewall-config
ip
subnet-mask
The ipsec-config command is supported on print servers and printers that support both
IPsec and Firewall configurations. The firewall-config command is supported on fullfeatured print servers that do not support IPsec, but allow Firewall configuration.
Use these commands to disable IPsec or Firewall operation on the print server after IPsec/
Firewall policies have been configured and enabled. IPsec/Firewall operation cannot be
enabled by this command; if IPsec/Firewall policies are enabled, the status will be “read
only”.
0: Disable IPsec/Firewall operation, if it is enabled.
1: (Read Only) Indicates IPsec/Firewall policies are configured and enabled. Use the
embedded Web server to configure and enable IPsec/Firewall policies.
IP address for the print server, in dotted notation. For example:
ip-config manual ip 192.168.45.39
where manual specifies manual configuration and ip manually sets the IP address
192.168.45.39 on the print server.
Specifying 0.0.0.0 clears the IP address.
If you exit and save a new IP address, it must be specified on the next Telnet connection.
A value (in dotted notation) that identifies the network and host portions of an IPv4 address
in received messages. For example,
subnet-mask 255.255.255.0
stores the subnet mask value 255.255.255.0 on the print server. The value 0.0.0.0 disables
the subnet mask.
default-gw The IP address of a default gateway, in dotted notation. For example,
default-gw 192.168.40.1
assigns 192.168.40.1 as the IP address of the default gateway for the print server.
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 manually
change the print server's IP address. This will release the DHCP-assigned
address back to the DHCP IP address pool.

To make use of improved security features, HP Web Jetadmin version 8.0 or greater is recommended
for operation with the HP Jetdirect embedded Web server. Using HP Web Jetadmin, you can enable
the IPv4/IPv6 SNMP v3 agent and seamlessly create an SNMP v3 account on the print server.
NOTE: HP Web Jetadmin 8.0 does not support SNMP configuration over IPv6 protocols.
However, Jetdirect MIB configuration objects (such as IPv6 and IPsec objects) may be viewed
over IPv4.
Currently, browser support between HP Web Jetadmin and the embedded Web server may differ. For
supported browsers with HP Web Jetadmin, visit
http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.
Viewing the Embedded Web Server
Before you can use the embedded Web server, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with
an IP address.
Using IPv6 protocols, IPv6 addresses are typically configured automatically on the print server, although
manual configuration is available. For basic information on IPv6 addresses, see
on page 17.
TCP/IP Configuration
Using IPv4 protocols, there are many ways to configure an IPv4 address on the print server. For
example, you can automatically configure IP parameters over the network using BOOTP (Bootstrap
Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) 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,
62 Chapter 4 Embedded Web Server (V.36.xx) ENWW
the “arp” and “ping” commands, HP Web Jetadmin or other management software. For more information
on TCP/IP configuration options, see
TCP/IP Configuration on page 17.
When powered on, an HP Jetdirect print server that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the
network will automatically assign itself either a legacy default IPv4 address 192.0.0.192 or a link-local
address in the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. The IP address configured on your print server
can be determined by inspecting the Jetdirect configuration page for the print server. See
TCP/IP
Configuration on page 17 for more information.
If the legacy default IPv4 address 192.0.0.192 has been 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 gain
access to the embedded Web server.
To access the embedded Web server, perform the following steps:
1. Run a supported Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the print server as the URL.
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 may be able to resolve an IP address
for the device.
Figure 4-2 Entering an IP Address or Fully Qualified Domain Name
3. If prompted with security alerts, click Yes to proceed.
By factory default, HP Jetdirect print servers and printers/MFPs with IPsec support are configured
as a secure site, using an X.509v3-compliant certificate installed on the print server for
identification. Encrypted browser communications through HTTPS (secure HTTP) is required for
initial access.
ENWW Viewing the Embedded Web Server 63
Although not recommended, you can use your Internet Options menu to configure your browser
to ignore security warnings if the print server is configured to operate through HTTPS. See
Protocols on page 91.

Table 4-13 LPD Queues
Tab Settings on page 81.
80 Chapter 4 Embedded Web Server (V.36.xx) ENWW
Table 4-13 LPD Queues Tab Settings
Item Description
Queue Name Name of the user-defined queue. This name can be up to 32 characters long, and can consist
of any displayable ASCII characters. You can define up to six user-defined queues.
CAUTION: Avoid the differentiation of queue names through the use of lower- and
upper-case characters only. Otherwise, management of LPD queues by other tools
(such as Telnet) may yield unpredictable results.
Prepend String Name Enter the name of one or more strings to be added before (or prepended to) the print data. You
specify string names and values in the table at the bottom of the page.
To prepend a long string, multiple string names may be concatenated, that is, entered and
separated by a “+” character. For example, to prepend a long string that has been divided into
two separate strings, enter:
<stringname1>+<stringname2>
where stringname1 and stringname2 are specified as two separate string names with different
values.
Append String Name Enter the name of one or more strings to be added after (or appended to) the print data. You
specify string names and values in the table at the bottom of the page.
To append a long string, multiple string names may be concatenated, that is, entered and
separated by a “+” character. For example, to append a long string that has been divided into
two separate strings, enter:
<stringname1>+<stringname2>
where stringname1 and stringname2 are specified as two separate string names with different
values.
Queue Type Processing instruction for the queue. Choose from these four queue types:
RAW: No processing. The line printer daemon treats the data in a raw queue as a print
●
job that has already been formatted in PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2, and sends it to the
printer without modification. (Note that any user-defined Prepend or Append string will
be added to the job in the appropriate position.)
TEXT: Carriage return added. The line printer daemon 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) The line printer daemon uses auto-sensing to determine whether the
●
print data should be sent as raw or text.
BINPS: (Binary PostScript) This instructs the PostScript interpreter that the print job is to
●
be interpreted as Binary PostScript data.
Default Queue Name Name of the queue to be used if the queue specified for a print job is unknown. By default, the
Default Queue Name is AUTO.
String Name Name of a character string. You may define up to eight character strings for use in LPD queues;
this parameter names the string, and the Value parameter defines the content of the string.
Prepend and Append string names (specified in the table at the top of the browser window)
must be chosen from the names specified here. The string name can be up to 32 characters
long, and can consist of any ASCII characters that can be displayed.
Value The content of the string. The String Name parameter names the string; the Value parameter
defines its content. When a string name is specified for a prepend or append string (as defined
in the table at the top of the browser window), the line printer daemon sends the value of that
string to the printer before or after the print data (as appropriate).
ENWW Networking Tab 81
Table 4-13 LPD Queues Tab Settings (continued)
Item Description
Character values can be anywhere 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 in \1B. If your string includes the backslash character itself, specify it as \5C. The
maximum number of characters you can type into this field is 240. 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.
To set up a user-defined print queue, you first define the strings, assign them as prepend or append
strings, and define the queue type. Once you have defined an LPD queue, you specify its use by setting
up an LPD printer that uses that queue. For instance, if you set up 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”, an
append string of “z”, and a queue type of “RAW”. Then, 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”.
Instructions for setting up an LPD printer are different for different operating systems; refer to
LPD
Printing on page 153 for details.
Example. If you had an LPD printer and wanted to reset it at the start of each print job, you could set
up a user-defined print queue named “clear_printer” that issues a PCL reset command (Escape-E) at
the beginning of each job. You could set this up as follows:
First, set up the print queue:
a. Name a 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: Using the pull-down menu, 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 of setting up the printer, refer to
LPD Printing on page 153.) After that, any print jobs
sent to the printer—either from the server or from a client computer that has set up that printer—will
include a reset command at the beginning of the job.

Security Level Description
Restore Defaults
This page is used to restore the configuration parameters listed to factory default values. The parameters
displayed depend on the features supported by the print server.
Only the configuration settings listed are restored to factory defaults, other configuration settings are
not affected.
Authorization
The Authorization page provides tabs that allow you to control access to the device, as well as to device
configuration and management features. In addition, you may configure certificates for client and server
authentication.
The Access Control page is used to set up an Access Control List, if desired to control
host access to the device. This feature is available on selected full-featured print servers
only.
The Print Protocols and Services page is used to enable or disable network printing,
print services, and device discovery protocols that may affect security.
The Configuration Review page displays all the current settings that may affect security.
Click Finish to set your basic security selections.
Admin. Account
Use this page to set an administrator password for controlled access to Jetdirect configuration and status
information. The administrator password is shared by Jetdirect configuration tools, such as the
embedded Web server, Telnet, and HP Web Jetadmin. In addition, for selected printers, the password
is shared with the printer (see
If a password is set and you attempt to access Jetdirect print server settings, you will be prompted for
a user name and this password before you are allowed access.
NOTE: If you have logged into the print server using an administrator password, the
administrator password may be cleared by applying blank entries, or by a cold reset of the print
server to factory-default settings.
A checkbox allows you to synchronize HP Web Jetadmin and the SNMP v1/v2c Set Community Name.
If you enable this feature (the checkbox is checked), the administrator password will also be used as
the SNMP Set Community Name for SNMP v1/v2c management applications.
NOTE: If you subsequently change the SNMP Set Community Name (for example, using the
SNMP tab on the Network Settings page or from Web Jetadmin), the two settings will no longer
be synchronized.
Printer Password Synchronization
Printer Password Synchronization on page 86 below).
(EIO and embedded print servers only) Most printers provide password-protected access to printer
configuration and status settings. The password is set through security Web pages provided by the
printer. For these printers, the administrator password for the printer and the Jetdirect print server are
synchronized so that the same password is used to access both printer and networking configuration
86 Chapter 4 Embedded Web Server (V.36.xx) ENWW
pages. For printers that support password synchronization, the same password is used regardless of
the embedded Web server page (printer security pages, or the Jetdirect Admin. Account page) in which
the password was set.
If password synchronization is lost on these printers, recovery may require one of the following
procedures:

Certificates
This tab provides access to installation, configuration and management services for X.509v3 digital
certificates. A digital certificate is an electronic message typically containing, among other things, a key
(a short string used for encryption and decryption) and a digital signature. Certificates may be issued
and signed by a trusted third party (commonly called a Certificate Authority, or CA), which may exist
internal or external to the organization. Or certificates may be “self-signed”.
The Certificates page provides the status of the certificates installed on the HP Jetdirect print server:
Restore both the printer and the Jetdirect print server to factory-default states (for example, through
a cold-reset), and then reconfigure your settings.
Manually set the same administrator password using both the printer security page and the
Jetdirect Admin. Account page.
NOTE: While self-signed certificates are permitted and allow data encryption, they do not
ensure valid authentication. A self-signed certificate is similar to validating your own identity.
Jetdirect certificate. The Jetdirect certificate is used to validate the identity of the Jetdirect device
●
to clients and to network authentication servers.
By factory default, a self-signed Jetdirect certificate is pre-installed. This allows the embedded Web
server to use HTTPS and appear as a secure site when accessed by a Web browser.
Click View to view the contents of an installed Jetdirect certificate, or click Configure to update or
install a new one. See
When installed, a Jetdirect certificate will be saved across a cold-reset, which is used to restore
the print server to factory-default values.
CA Certificate. (Full-featured print servers only) A certificate from a trusted third party, or
●
Certificate Authority (CA), is used to validate the identity of a network authentication server during
802.1X authentication methods that use EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). The
authentication server's identity is validated when information on the CA certificate matches the
information on a certificate received from the authentication server.
A CA certificate for the print server is a certificate that was used to sign the authentication server's
certificate. Therefore, the Certificate Authority for the authentication server's certificate must also
be used for the CA certificate.
Click View to view the contents of an installed Jetdirect certificate, or click Configure to update or
install a new one. See
A CA certificate is not saved when the print server is reset to factory-default values.

Configuring Certificates
When you click Configure, a certificate management wizard will help you update or install a certificate.
The screens displayed will depend on the type of certificate (Jetdirect or CA) and your selections.
4-16 Certificate Configuration Screens on page 88 provides a description of the screens and
configuration parameters that may appear.
NOTE: If you improperly exit Certificates configuration (for example, by failing to use the
Cancel button), an Operation Failed screen may appear. If so, wait approximately two minutes
before entering the wizard again.
Table 4-16 Certificate Configuration Screens
Certificate Options screen. The options provided will depend on your print server model. Choose an option.
Update Pre-Installed Certificate. Use this option to update the pre-installed, self-signed certificate. When
●
updated, the pre-installed certificate is overwritten. You may update the following item:
Certificate Validity Period
With self-signed certificates, the browser will identify the certificate as self-signed for each new Web session
and may cause a security alert message. This message can be bypassed if the user adds it to their browser's
certificate store or disables browser alerts (not recommended).
Self-signed certificates are not necessarily secure because the certificate owner is merely confirming his own
identity instead of verification by a trusted third party. Certificates from a trusted third party are considered
more secure.
Table
Create Certificate Request. Using this option, you are prompted for specific device and organizational
●
information in the following screen:
Certificate Information
This option may be used, for example, when an authentication protocol requires that a Jetdirect certificate
issued by a trusted third party or Certificate Authority be installed.
Install Certificate. This option is displayed only if there is a Jetdirect certificate request (to a trusted third
●
party) pending. When received, the certificate is installed using this option. Once installed, this certificate
overwrites the preinstalled certificate. Using this option, you are prompted for information in the following
screen:
Install Certificate
The certificate to be installed must be associated with a previous certificate request generated by the
embedded Web server.
Install CA Certificate. (Full-featured print servers only) This option is provided when you click Configure for
●
a CA certificate, which must be installed for selected authentication protocols. Using this option, you are
prompted for information in the following screen:

Delete CA Certificate. (Full-featured print servers only) This option is used to remove the CA certificate
●
installed on the Jetdirect print server. This option appears when a CA certificate for EAP authentication has
been installed.
CAUTION: If the CA Certificate is deleted, EAP authentication will be disabled and network access
will be denied.
The CA Certificate will also be removed on a cold-reset of the print server, where factory-default
settings are restored.
Certificate Information screen. Use this page to enter information for requesting a certificate from a Certificate Authority.
This screen appears only when a self-signed certificate is pre-installed and you click Edit Settings to update
●
the validity period. It specifies the current Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is a time scale maintained
by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. It adjusts for differences between Greenwich Mean
Time and atomic time. It is set at 0 degrees longitude on the prime meridian.
The Validity Start Date is calculated from the PC's clock settings.
The Validity Period specifies the number of days (1 to 3650) that the certificate is valid, starting from the
Validity Start Date. A valid entry (1 to 3650) is required. The default is 5 years.
Common Name. (Required) For HP Jetdirect print servers, specify the fully qualified domain name or a valid
●
IP address for the device.
Examples:
Domain Name: myprinter.mydepartment.mycompany.com
IP address: 192.168.2.116
The Common Name will be used to uniquely identify the device. For HP Jetdirect print servers using EAP
authentication, some authentication servers may need to be configured with the Common Name as specified
on the certificate.
If the default IP address 192.0.0.192 is configured on the Jetdirect print server, it will not likely be valid for
your network. You should not use this default address to identify your device.
Organization. (Required) Specify the full legal name for your company.
●
Install Certificate or Install CA Certificate screens.
Use the Install Certificate screen to install a Jetdirect certificate. (The Install Certificate option will not be presented if there
is no pending request).
Use the Install CA Certificate screen to install a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) certificate for use during EAP authentication.

key to a file.
Access Control
NOTE: If this feature is supported on the print server and device, it is limited to IPv4 networks.
If the IPsec/Firewall feature is available, it is recommended for use in place of the Access Control
List for improved security and performance.
Use this tab to display the Access Control List (ACL) on the HP Jetdirect print server. An access control
list (or host access list) specifies individual host systems, or networks of host systems, that will be
allowed to access the print server and the attached network device. Up to 10 entries can be included
on the list. If the list is empty (no hosts are listed), any supported system can access the print server.
By default, hosts with HTTP connections (for example, through the embedded Web server or the Internet
Printing Protocol) are allowed access to the print server regardless of access control list entries. To
disable access by HTTP hosts, clear the Allow Web Server (HTTP) access checkbox at the bottom of
the list.
CAUTION: Use caution when using the access control list. You may lose your ability to
communicate with the HP Jetdirect print server if your system is not properly specified in the list,
or access through HTTP is disabled.
To export a certificate and private key, enter a password that will be used to encrypt the private key. You
●
must enter the password again to confirm it. Then click Save As to save the certificate and private key in a
file on your system. The file format will be PKCS#12 encoded (.pfx).
For use of the Access Control List as a security feature, see
Security Features (V.36.xx)
on page 113.
Host systems are specified by their IPv4 addresses or network number. If the network contains subnets,
an address mask may be used to identify whether the IP address entry designates an individual host
system or a group of host systems.
Examples. See the table of sample entries below:
IP Address Mask Description
192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 Allow all hosts with network number 192.
