Configuring and managing the print server on your network
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.
List of 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.
• TCP/IP:
-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
- Moving the print server to another IP network
² LPD (line printer daemon) printing
• FTP printing
• IPP printing
• 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 IPX/SPX in client/server mode with
Novell NetWare servers.
