[. . . ] When finished there, this computer is ready to use the printer. After using the wizard, you can use the additional tools listed below to make configuration changes and additions and to monitor the printer. Note: Making network address changes might break the print path set up by the wizard. Reference for changing and managing configuration Your comprehensive reference is the HP Jetdirect Administrator's Guide. You will find the following among the topics listed in its contents panel: q q q q Security features LPD printing FTP printing Other software tools (for a variety of operating environments) Embedded web server: Each Jetdirect print server contains an embedded web server, a tool for configuring and managing the print server. This acts like a small web site that allows you to configure various parameters of the print server, such as an IP or IPX address. In addition, a simple network scanning facility, sometimes called "Web Scan", is available through the embedded web server if your print server is attached to a supported MFP (multifunction peripheral) or All-in-One device. Refer to the section in the Jetdirect Administrator's Guide on the embedded web server. You use your standard web browser for access to the embedded web server's functions. Open your browser and enter the print server's IP address as the URL. (Most browsers will take a simple IP address; if yours doesn't, insert http:// before the IP address. ) If you don't know your print server's IP address, print a configuration page--the IP address will be listed in the TCP/IP section. The embedded web server's screens should be reasonably self-explanatory, and a little exploration will probably show you what you need to know. (For full details, refer to the Jetdirect Administrator's Guide. ) All entries show the current values of the print server's parameters, and you can change those values by entering new ones (if your network administrator has allowed full access to them). Note that if you change the print server's IP address, you will lose the connection to the print server. You can reconnect by pointing your browser at the new IP address. q Protocols The following protocols, and protocol-specific configurations and tools, are supported by the print server. Use the HP Jetdirect Administrator's Guide as your reference for protocols. q TCP/IP: r r r r r DHCP: a tool for autoconfiguration BOOTP: a tool for autoconfiguration TFTP: a tool for extended autoconfiguration RARP: a tool on some systems for configuring an IP address Telnet: a tool for configuration and monitoring the print server q q q q r Moving the print server to another IP network LPD (line printer daemon) printing FTP printing [for 310x only, not for 175x] IPP printing [for 310x only, not for 175x] IPX/SPX (In most cases, parameters do not need to be set on the print server. ) Note: The print server supports both IPX/SPX direct mode (peer-to-peer) and [for 310x only, not for 175x] IPX/SPX in client/server mode with Novell NetWare servers. q q q DLC/LLC: [for 310x only, not for 175x] Can be enabled or disabled; otherwise there are no parameters to set on the Jetdirect module. AppleTalk: Printer Name and Printer Zone parameters can be set up using the HP LaserJet Utility for MacOS.

Open your browser and enter the print server's current IP address as the URL. (You may need to precede it with http://). If you don't know the current IP address, find it by printing a configuration page. [. . . ] Your shipping address.
