EN TCP/IP Configuration 55
Windows Systems
HP Jetdirect print servers support IP configuration from a
Windows NT or 2000 DHCP server. This section describes how to
set up a pool, or “scope,” of IP addresses that the Windows server
can assign or lease to any requester. When configured for BOOTP
or DHCP operation and powered on, the HP Jetdirect print
server automatically sends a BOOTP or DHCP request for its IP
configuration. If properly set up, a Windows DHCP server will
respond with the print server’s IP configuration data.
Note This information is provided as an overview. For
specific information or for additional support, see
the information supplied with your DHCP server
software.
Note To avoid problems resulting from IP addresses
that change, HP recommends that all printers
be assigned IP addresses with infinite leases or
reserved IP addresses.
Windows NT 4.0 Server

following steps:

3. Select Server and select Server Add.
4. Type the server IP address, then click OK to return to the
DHCP Manager window.
