Hi, Speaking from experience a couple of years ago, and please excuse me contributing to a vaguely off-topic thread:
Does anyone know how to set up an HP LasetJet (with a TCP/IP) to be used on the Intranet?
As someone else stated, use the "Control Panel", i.e. the physical buttons on the printer itself, to set up the correct IP address.
Don't know the details, but typically, these are configured using things like : 1. Web interface (assumes a working IP in the first place of course) 2. Bootp/Rarp type system 3. Some clever poking about with arp and ping
These are some of the techniques used - I don't know about this specific machine.
I have printed out the menu and it says that it is 192.0.0.192 but there is no way to get at it to change the settings. I have plugged in a patch lead and tried to ping the thing.
Excuse the obvious question, but have you tried connecting the printer directly to a PC using a cross-over cable?
This will only work if you other machines are configured to be on the same IP network (in terms of network numbers) - ie have IP addresses numbered in the same range : 192.0.0.X with the same subnet mask.
That's a very good point, check the subnet mask of the printer compared to the boxes you're trying to ping it from and ensure they match. -- warnendes warnendes dieser Programmsatz bedeutet nicht nichts Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
