TCP/IP Configuration
Introduction
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. Depending on your printer and
system, this can be done in the following ways:
Note When shipped from the factory, the HP Jetdirect
print server has no IP address. If the HP Jetdirect
print server is not configured with a valid IP
address within two minutes after power up, a
factory default value of 192.0.0.192 will be
automatically assigned. This address must be
reconfigured with a valid address for use on your
TCP/IP network. For more information on TCP/IP
networks, see Appendix A
.
●
Using your printer installation software or the HP Jetdirect
print server installation software on supported systems. For
more information see Chapter 2
, “HP Software Solutions
Summary”.
●
By downloading 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 “Using BOOTP/TFTP
”.
Note The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running on a
BOOTP server that is accessible by the printer.
