Does anyone know how to set up an HP LasetJet (with a TCP/IP) to be used on the Intranet? 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.
Paul At school where I work as an IT Tech we (I) set up all our HP laserjets with bootptab. This is from an armBSD server. The Laserjet 2100 automatically wants to use bootp to fetch its set up info. It also works with HP8000s and HP 4500s. Linux is not that helpful with bootp it exists but it is not realy documented. As soon as I can I will publish to the list how we set it up at school with samples etc. It may need some tweeks but I am sure that Roger will assist where I miss out. Do not hold you breath, just wish me a free few minutes. Regards mike -- minkl@dircon.co.uk mike.clinch@ukuug.org School Focus responsibility
