ENWW Troubleshooting Tools 24 Resetting to Factory Defaults You can restore default values by performing a cold reset on your printer (see your printer documentation for instructions). To perform a cold reset on many HP LaserJet printers, turn off the printer and then press and hold the Go button as you turn the printer back on. A document that describes how to perform a cold reset on many HP printers is available on HP's Web site. To view the document, visit HP online support at: http://www. hp. com/go/support and search for document file hpj02300. html. CAUTION A cold reset restores both your printer and Jetdirect configuration to their factory default values. Controlling Network Protocols The HP Jetdirect print server can simultaneously support multiple network communication protocols. This allows network computers that may be using different protocols to communicate with the same printer. Each protocol used on the print server may require some configuration before the printer can communicate on the network. For some protocols, required parameters are automatically sensed and user-specified settings are not needed. However, for other protocols, there may be many parameters to configure. ENWW Troubleshooting Tools 25 Enabling or Disabling Network Protocols When you first install the Jetdirect print server from the factory, all supported network protocols are enabled (or turned on) whenever you turn the printer on. If a network protocol is enabled, the card may actively transmit on the network even when there are no computers on the network that use the protocol. To eliminate unnecessary traffic, you can disable unused protocols. Disabling unused protocols lets you: reduce network traffic by eliminating broadcast messages from unused protocols (for example, IPX/SPX and TCP/IP). provide better control over who prints to the printer by eliminating users from other networks who might accidentally route print jobs to this printer. eliminate unnecessary information on the Jetdirect Configuration Page, which displays status information for all enabled protocols. display protocol-specific error conditions on the printer's control panel for enabled protocols only. Protocols can be enabled or disabled on the print server through a variety of tools, such as Telnet, Web browser access to the embedded Web server, the printer control panel, and HP Web Jetadmin management software. For more information about these and other tools, refer to the applicable HP Jetdirect Administrator's Guide located on the HP Jetdirect CD-ROM. ENWW Troubleshooting Tools 26 A Introduction to Network Printing Network Printing Configurations Networks consist of computers connected together to share information and resources, such as printers. On a "client-server" network, client computers send print jobs to dedicated server computers that control the use of each printer. On a "peer-to-peer" network, dedicated servers are not used. Instead, each computer is configured to send print jobs to the printer directly. Figure A-1 Basic Network Printing Configurations Peer-to-Peer printing Server Client-Server printing Client-server printing is typically used in medium to large networks where dedicated servers are used to manage printing needs of many users. Client-server networks use network operating systems (NOS) such as Novell NetWare and Microsoft Windows NT/2000 Server. Peer-to-peer printing is more suitable for smaller networks. On peer-to-peer networks, each user configures his Microsoft system to print directly to the printer. ENWW Introduction to Network Printing 27 Note that peer-to-peer printing can be configured on a client-server network.
