understand printer sharing on networks

printer sharing on a network

A point-and-print network refers to an environment where two or more computers (Windows 98/2000 or ME) equally share a single resource such as your HP OfficeJet, and the client computer automatically downloads the required software from the host computer. If your network uses a Windows 98 computer as the host and you have Windows 2000 or Windows ME clients, you must use a peer-to-peer network configuration instead. A peer-to-peer network is the same as a point-and-print network, except that the software must be manually installed on each Windows 2000 client.

printer sharing

hp officejet d series

Before you can set up printer sharing, a local area network (LAN) must already exist, and each computer must meet the minimum system requirements for connection to a LAN:

• Have a properly configured network card

• Be a client or host for Microsoft networks

• Have basic network services and protocols

• Have the proper network adapter

• Have LAN access Setup the host first, then follow the steps in set up a point-and-print client on

page 10 or set up a peer-to-peer client on page 10.

set up the host If you are using Windows 2000, you must have administrative rights to your

computer to set up a Windows 2000 host for network printing. For more information, see your Windows 2000 documentation or your system administrator.

troubleshooting

This section contains troubleshooting tips for some of the most common issues associated with networking and your HP OfficeJet D Series (HP OfficeJet) unit.

It is strongly recommended that a static IP address be used when installing your HP OfficeJet for network use. DHCP allocation of IP addresses for the HP OfficeJet can cause computers on the network to be unable to locate the HP Officejet and can cause inconsistent performance of the HP OfficeJet program. For more information on DHCP see dhcp overview on page 16.

For more information on troubleshooting, see other sources for help on page 19.

dhcp overview

dynamic allocation of ip addresses

In dynamic address allocation, IP addresses are monitored with a computer called a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server. This server keeps the IP addresses in a pool and, when a user requests a connection to the network, the DHCP server provides an IP address from the pool. This IP address is a temporary assignment. As long as only a portion of the network’s users are connected to the network at the same time, the DHCP server can make its allocation of IP addresses serve a greater number of users than it could otherwise. (This effect is limited by the tendency for users

troubleshooting

hp officejet d series

to stay connected to the network all the time. Nonetheless, dynamic address allocation allows the network to get greater use out of its IP address allocation.)

effects of dynamic ip addresses and the hp officejet

Dynamic IP addresses change. If you turn off your computers and HP OfficeJet at the end of the day and turn them back again at the start of the next day, the DHCP server may assign them different IP addresses. However, the printer configurations in the computers are static – the computers expect the HP OfficeJet to be at the same address that worked previously. If the HP OfficeJet has a new IP address of 10.1.1.2 and the computer still thinks the HP OfficeJet is at 10.1.1.3, the computer cannot find the HP OfficeJet when it sends out a print job.

assign a static ip address for windows computers

automatic assignment of a static IP

The installation software for the HP JetDirect can automatically assign a static IP address as long as the HP JetDirect does not obtain an dynamic (DHCP) address.

to assign a static ip address.

Boot up the computers in the normal way, so that they acquire IP addresses as usual from the DHCP server.

Turn off the DHCP server so that the HP JetDirect cannot get an IP address via DHCP by disconnecting your cable/DSL modem or DHCP from the network

Reset the HP JetDirect to set its factory default configuration (with no DHCP address). – Unplug the power cord to HP OfficeJet. – Plug the power cord back in while holding in the HP JetDirect’s

report button.

The HP JetDirect will try to find a DHCP server; after about three minutes of no DHCP response, the HP JetDirect will default to a static IP address of 192.0.0.192.

Print a Configuration Page to confirm the IP address is set to the default of 192.0.0.192. – Press the report button on the HP JetDirect. For more information

see print a configuration page on page 6

Be sure to wait until IP address is 192.0.0.192 before proceeding. If it remains set to 0.0.0.0, check the network cable connection to the JetDirect and to the network is secure. If some other address appears repeat steps 3 and 4 until the default address appears.

Start the software installation using the OfficeJet D CD.

hp officejet d series

During the installation be sure to select the following options: – Search the network for devices and choose from a list of

discovered devices, then press Next. – Select the HP OfficeJet from the device list, then press Next – Do network settings for me, then press Next. Follow the instructions on the remaining install screens.

The software will pick an IP address in the private 169.254.x.x range (not available on the open Internet) and permanently assign it to the HP JetDirect. It will also set up a static route to that address in the computer’s printer configuration.

Turn the DHCP server back on by turning on the DHCP server by connecting your cable/DSL modem or DHCP to the network

Because the HP JetDirect now has a permanent static IP address, it will no longer try to use DHCP server to get an address.

Install the HP OfficeJet software on the other computers on the network who will be using the HP OfficeJet.

The installation software will discover the HP JetDirect at the

169.254.x.x address, and will add the static IP address in each computer’s printer configuration.
