Configuring the Printer The HP LaserJet Utility allows printer settings such as printer name and preferred zone to be configured from your Mac OS system. Hewlett-Packard recommends that only network administrators use the printer configuration capabilities of this utility. If this printer is to be serviced by a print spooler, set up the printer's name and zone before configuring the spooler to capture the printer. Running the HP LaserJet Utility 1.
Renaming the Printer The factory supplies a default name for your printer. Hewlett-Packard highly recommends that you rename your printer to avoid having multiple printers with similar names on your network. CAUTION After you have renamed the printer and have set up print queues to that printer, use caution when changing the printer name again. If you rename the printer again, the queues for that printer will no longer function. Note The name may be up to 32 characters in length.
7. To exit, select Quit from the File menu. Notify everyone on your network of the new name for your printer so they can select the printer in the Chooser. Selecting a Zone The HP LaserJet Utility allows you to select a preferred zone for your printer on a Phase 2 EtherTalk network. Instead of your printer remaining on the default zone, which is set by the router, this utility lets you select the zone on which your printer appears.
3. If AppleTalk is not active, an alert dialog box appears on your screen. Select OK. The Active button turns on. If your network is linked to other networks, the AppleTalk Zones list dialog box appears in the Chooser. 4. If applicable, select the zone in the AppleTalk Zones scrolling list where your printer is located. 5. Select the printer name you want to use from the list of printer names in the upper-right area of the Chooser.
Testing the Configuration 1. Select Print Window from the File menu, or if no window is open, select Print Desktop. The Print dialog box appears. 2. Click Print. If the printer prints the job, you have connected your printer to your network correctly. If your printer does not print, see Chapter 8.
3 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 that is valid for your network. For general information on TCP/IP networks, see Appendix A.
Default IP Address When in a factory-default state (for example, when shipped from the factory or after a cold-reset), the HP Jetdirect print server has no IP address. A default IP address may or may not be assigned depending on the network environment. Default IP Address Will Not Be Assigned A default IP address will not be assigned if a server-based method (such as BOOTP or DHCP) is successful.
With link-local addresses, subnetting is not used. The subnet mask will be 255.255.0.0, and cannot be changed. Link-local addresses will not route off the local link, and access to or from the Internet will not be available. The default gateway address will be the same as the link-local address. If a duplicate address is sensed, the HP Jetdirect print server will automatically reassign its address, if necessary, in accordance with standard link-local addressing methods.
DHCP Requests Enable/Disable When a default IP address is assigned, you can choose to send, or not send, periodic DHCP requests. DHCP requests are used to retrieve IP configuration settings from a DHCP server on the network. By default, this parameter is enabled, allowing DHCP requests to be transmitted. However, this parameter may be disabled through supported configuration tools such as Telnet, a Web browser, and SNMP management applications. HP Jetdirect Wireless Print Server.
TCP/IP Configuration Tools Depending on your printer and operating system, an HP Jetdirect print server can be configured with valid TCP/IP parameters for your network in the following ways: ● Using Software. You can use 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”.
● RARP. A network-based server can use RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) to answer the print server's RARP request and supplying the print server with the IP address. The RARP method only allows you to configure the IP address. For more information, see “Using RARP”. ● arp and ping commands. (For print servers configure with Legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 only) You can use the arp and ping commands from your system. For more information, see “Using the arp and ping Commands”. ● Telnet.
Using BOOTP/TFTP Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) provide a convenient way to automatically configure the HP Jetdirect print server for TCP/IP network operation. When powered on, the Jetdirect print server sends a BOOTP request message onto the network.
Why Use BOOTP/TFTP? Using BOOTP/TFTP to download configuration data has the following benefits: ● Enhanced configuration control of the HP Jetdirect print server. Configuration by other methods, such as a printer control panel, are limited to select parameters. ● Ease of configuration management. Network configuration parameters for the entire network can be in one location. ● Ease of HP Jetdirect print server configuration.
Configuring the BOOTP Server For the HP Jetdirect print server to obtain its configuration data over the network, the BOOTP/TFTP servers must be set up with the appropriate configuration files. BOOTP is used by the print server to obtain entries in the /etc/bootptab file on a BOOTP server, while TFTP is used to obtain additional configuration information from a configuration file on a TFTP server.
Bootptab File Entries An example of a /etc/bootptab file entry for an HP Jetdirect print server is provided below: picasso:\ :hn:\ :ht=ether:\ :vm=rfc1048:\ :ha=0001E6123456:\ :ip=192.168.40.39:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:\ :gw=192.168.40.1:\ :lg=192.168.40.3:\ :T144=“hpnp/picasso.cfg”: Note that the configuration data contains “tags” to identify the various HP Jetdirect parameters and their settings.

Using DHCP Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto configuration mechanisms that the HP Jetdirect print server uses.
UNIX Systems For more information on setting up DHCP on UNIX systems, see the bootpd man page. On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) may be located in the /etc directory. Since HP-UX presently does not provide Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) for its DHCP implementations, HP recommends that you set all print server lease durations to “infinite”. This ensures that print server IP addresses remain static until dynamic domain name services are provided.
Windows NT 4.0 Server To set up a DHCP scope on a Windows NT 4.0 server, perform the following steps: 1. At the Windows NT server, open the Program Manager window and double-click the Network Administrator icon. 2. Double-click the DHCP Manager icon to open this window. 3. Select Server and select Server Add. 4. Type the server IP address, then click OK to return to the DHCP Manager window. 5. In the list of DHCP servers, click on the server you have just added, then select Scope and select Create. 6.
8. Skip this step if you have assigned unlimited leases in the previous step. Otherwise, select Scope and select Add Reservations to set up your printers as reserved clients. For each printer, perform the following steps in the Add Reserved Clients window to set up a reservation for that printer: a. Type the selected IP address. b. Obtain the MAC address or hardware address from the configuration page, and type this address in the Unique Identifier box. c. Type the client name (any name is acceptable). d.
● Once the address appears in the list of IP addresses, select OK. This returns you to the DHCP Options window. If the address you have just added appears in the list of IP addresses (near the bottom of the window) return to step 10d. Otherwise, repeat step 10c. d. In the DHCP Options window, select WINS/NBT Node Type (046) from the Unused Options list. Select Add to add the node type to the Active Options list. In the Byte box, type 0x4 to indicate a mixed node, and select OK. 11.
8. Set the IP address lease duration for your DHCP clients. Then click Next. HP recommends that all printers be assigned reserved IP addresses. This can be accomplished after you set up the scope (see step 11). 9. Select No to configure DHCP options for this scope later. Then click Next. To configure DHCP options now, select Yes and click Next. a. If desired, specify the IP address of the router (or default gateway) to be used by clients. Then click Next. b.
NetWare Systems NetWare 5.x servers provide DHCP configuration services for network clients, including the HP Jetdirect print server. To set up DHCP services on a NetWare server, refer to Novell documentation and support. To Discontinue DHCP Configuration CAUTION Changes to an IP address on your HP Jetdirect print server may require updates to printer or system printing configurations for clients or servers.
Note If you choose to re-enable a DHCP configuration, the print server will acquire its configuration information from a DHCP server. This means that when you choose DHCP and complete your configuration session (using Telnet, for example), the TCP/IP protocol for the print server is re-initialized and all current configuration information is deleted. The print server then attempts to acquire new configuration information by sending DHCP requests on the network to a DHCP server.
Using RARP Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. This section describes how to configure the print server using the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) on UNIX and Linux systems. This setup procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your system to respond to a RARP request from the HP Jetdirect print server and to supply the IP address to the print server. 1. Turn the printer off. 2.
7. Edit the /etc/ethers file (/etc/rarpd.conf file in HP-UX 10.20) to add the LAN hardware address/station address (from the configuration page) and the node name for the HP Jetdirect print server. For example: 00:01:E6:a8:b0:00 laserjet1 Note If your system uses Network Information Service (NIS), you need to incorporate changes to the NIS host and ethers databases. 8. Turn the printer on. 9. To verify that the card is configured with the correct IP address, use the ping utility.
Using the arp and ping Commands Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address using an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command from a supported system. The protocol is not routable, that is, the workstation from which the configuration is made must be located on the same network segment as the HP Jetdirect print server.
Depending on the system, the LAN hardware address may require a specific format. For example: ● For Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP arp -s 192.168.45.39 00-01-E6-a2-31-98 ping 192.168.45.39 ● For UNIX arp -s 192.168.45.39 00:01:E6:a2:31:98 ping 192.168.45.39 Note Once the IP address has been set on the print server, additional arp and ping commands will be ignored. Once the IP address is configured, arp and ping cannot be used unless the print server is reset to factory values (see Chapter 8).
Using Telnet Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. This section describes how to configure the print server (firmware version x.25.01 or greater) using Telnet. Although a Telnet connection may be protected by an administrator password, Telnet connections are not secure.
To use the route command, you will also need the IP address of your workstation.
A Typical Telnet Session Initiating a typical Telnet session is illustrated below.
To set configuration parameters, you must set up a Telnet session from your system to the HP Jetdirect print server. 1. Type the following at the system prompt: telnet where is the IP address listed on the Jetdirect configuration page. See Chapter 9. 2. A connection to the HP Jetdirect print server will be displayed. If the server responds with “connected to IP address”, press Enter twice to make sure that the Telnet connection is initialized. 3.
Command Line Interface (Default) Using the Telnet command line interface, you can set configuration parameters using the following procedures: Note During a Telnet session, enter ? to view available configuration parameters, the correct command format, and a list of commands. To list additional (or advanced) commands, enter the command advanced befored entering ?.. To display current configuration information, enter /. 1.
Telnet Commands and Parameters. Table 3.4 lists the available Telnet commands and parameters. If a parameter is supplied dynamically (for example, from a BOOTP or DHCP server), its value cannot be changed using Telnet without first setting Manual configuration.

5 Configuring for LPD Printing Introduction The HP Jetdirect print server contains an LPD (Line Printer Daemon) Server module to support LPD printing. This chapter describes how to configure the HP Jetdirect print server for use with various systems that support LPD printing.
About LPD Line Printer Daemon (LPD) refers to the protocol and programs associated with line-printer spooling services that may be installed on various TCP/IP systems. Some of the widely used systems in which the HP Jetdirect print server functionality supports LPD include: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Berkeley-based (BSD) UNIX systems HP-UX Solaris IBM AIX Linux Windows NT/2000 Mac OS The UNIX configuration examples in this section show the syntax for BSD-based UNIX systems. The syntax for your system may vary.
Requirements for Configuring LPD Before you can use LPD printing, your printer must be properly connected to the network through the HP Jetdirect print server, and you must have print server status information. This information is listed on the HP Jetdirect printer configuration page. If you have not printed a configuration page from your printer, see the hardware installation guide for your print server or your printer documentation for instructions.
Step 2. Setting Up Print Queues You must set up a print queue for each printer or printer personality (PCL or PostScript) you use on your system. Also, different queues are required for formatted and unformatted files. The queue names text and raw in the following examples (see rp tag) have special meanings. Table 5.
LPD on UNIX Systems Configuring Print Queues for BSD-based Systems Edit the /etc/printcap file to include the following entries: printer_name|short_printer_name:\ :lp=:\ :rm=node_name:\ :rp=remote_printer_name_argument:\ (this should be text, raw, binps, auto, or user-defined) :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/error_log_filename:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/printer_name: where printer_name identifies the printer to the user, node_name identifies the printer on the network, and remote_printer_name_argument is the print queue desig
Example: Printcap Entries for PostScript, PCL, or HP-GL/2 Printers lj1_raw|raw1:\ :lp=:\ :rm=laserjet1:\ :rp=raw:\ :lf=/usr/spool/lpd/lj1_raw.log:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lj1_raw: If your printer does not support automatic switching between PostScript, PCL, and HP-GL/2 languages, use the printer's control panel (if the printer has one) to select the printer language or rely on the application to select the printer language via commands embedded in the print data.
Configuring Print Queues Using SAM (HP-UX systems) On HP-UX systems you can use the SAM utility to configure remote print queues for printing “text” (ASCII) files or “raw” (PCL, PostScript, or other printer language) files. Before you execute the SAM program, select an IP address for the HP Jetdirect print server and set up an entry for it in the /etc/hosts file on your system running HP-UX. 1. Start the SAM utility as a superuser. 2. Select Peripheral Devices from the Main menu. 3.
10. Click OK and select Exit from the List menu. 11. Select Exit Sam. Note By default, the lpsched is not running. Make sure you turn the scheduler on when you set up your print queues. Printing a Test File To verify that the printer and print server connections are correct, print a test file. 1. At the UNIX system prompt type: lpr -Pprinter_name file_name where printer_name is the designated printer and file_name refers to the file to be printed.
LPD on Windows NT/2000 Systems This section describes how to configure Windows NT/2000 networks to use the HP Jetdirect LPD (Line Printer Daemon) services. The process consists of two parts: ● ● Installing TCP/IP software (if not already installed). Configuring a network LPD printer. Installing TCP/IP Software (Windows NT) This procedure lets you check whether you have TCP/IP installed on your Windows NT system, and to install the software if necessary.
2. If you have not previously installed the software: ■ Windows 2000—In the Local Area Connection Properties window, click Install. In the Select Network Component Type window, select Protocol and click Add to add the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Follow the instructions on the screen. ■ NT 4.0—Click the Add button for each tab and install the TCP/IP Protocol and the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing service. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Click the Advanced menu and select Optional Networking Components. c. Select and enable Other Network File and Print Services. d. Click Details, and verify that Print Services for Unix is enabled.
Note The HP Jetdirect print server treats text files as unformatted text or ASCII files. Files that are raw are formatted files in PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2 printer languages. If the queue type is binps, the PostScript interpreter is instructed to interpret the print job as binary PostScript data. For a three-port HP Jetdirect external print server, attach a port number to the queue name (for example, raw1, raw2, or raw3). 7. Select the Manufacturer and Printer model.
Configuring a Network Printer for Windows NT 4.0 Systems At the Windows NT 4.0 system, set up the default printer by performing the following steps. 1. Click Start, select Settings, and click Printers. The Printers window opens. 2. Double-click Add Printer. 3. Select My Computer, then click Next. 4. Click Add Port. 5.

6 FTP Printing Introduction FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a basic TCP/IP connectivity utility to transfer data between systems. FTP printing is a way to use FTP to send print files from a client system to an HP Jetdirect-connected printer. In an FTP printing session, the client connects and sends a print file to the HP Jetdirect FTP server which in turn passes the print file to the printer.
Print Files The HP Jetdirect FTP server transfers print files to the printer but does not interpret them. For proper printing, print files must be in a language recognized by the printer (such as PostScript, PCL, or unformatted text). For formatted print jobs, you must first print to a file from your application using the driver for the selected printer, then transfer the print file to the printer through an FTP session. For formatted print files, use binary (image) type transfers.
Control Connection Using standard FTP, a control connection is opened by the client to the FTP server on the HP Jetdirect print server. FTP control connections are used to exchange commands between the client and the FTP server. The HP Jetdirect print server supports up to four control connections (or FTP sessions) simultaneously. If the number of allowed connections is exceeded, a message indicating that service is not available will be displayed. FTP control connections use TCP port 21.
FTP Login To start an FTP session, enter the following command from a MS-DOS or UNIX command prompt: ftp where is the valid IP address or node name configured for the HP Jetdirect print server. See Figure 6.1 Figure 6.1 FTP Login Example If the connection is successful, a Ready message will be displayed. After a successful connection, the user is prompted for a login name and password. The default is the client’s login name. The Jetdirect FTP server will allow any user name.
Ending the FTP Session To end an FTP session, type quit or bye. Prior to ending an FTP session, a Ctrl C command is recommended to ensure the data connection is closed. Note Commands Table 6.1 summarizes commands available to the user during an FTP printing session. Table 6.1 User Commands for HP Jetdirect FTP Server (1 of 2) Command Description user specifies a user. Any user will be accepted and can print to the selected port.
Table 6.1 User Commands for HP Jetdirect FTP Server (2 of 2) Command Description ascii Configures an FTP ASCII file transfer. HP Jetdirect print servers support only non-print format control for character transfers (standard values for spacing and margins are used). Ctrl C Press the Ctrl and C keyboard keys simultaneously to abort the FTP service command and any transfer of data. The data connection is closed.
Example of an FTP Session This is an example of a typical FTP printing session: C:\> ftp 192.168.45.39 Connected to 192.168.45.39. 220 JD FTP Server Ready User <192.168.45.39:>: susan_g 001 Username Ok, send identity as password Password: 230- Hewlett-Packard FTP Print Server Version 2.

A TCP/IP Overview Introduction This appendix is intended to provide information to help you gain a basic understanding of TCP/IP. Similar to a common language that people use to communicate with each other, TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a suite of protocols designed to define the way computers and other devices communicate with each other over a network. TCP/IP is rapidly becoming the most used set of protocols.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) TCP handles breaking the data into packets and recombining the packets on the receiving end by providing a connection-oriented, reliable, and guaranteed delivery service to another node on the network. When data packets are received at their destination, TCP calculates a checksum for each packet to verify the data is not corrupt. If the data in the packet has been corrupted during transmission, TCP discards the packet and requests that the packet be resent.
IP Address: (Network Portion) Network addresses are managed by an organization in Norfolk, Virginia recognized as InterNIC. InterNIC has been contracted by the National Science Foundation to manage the Internet addresses and domains. Network addresses are distributed to organizations that are in turn responsible for making sure all attached devices or hosts on the network are properly numbered.
IP Address Structure and Class An IP address is comprised of 32 bits of information and divided into 4 sections containing 1 byte each section or 4 bytes total: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx For efficiency in routing, networks were broken down into three classes, so routing can begin simply by identifying the leading byte of information in the IP address. The three IP addresses that InterNIC assigns are class A, B, and C. The network class determines what each of the four IP address sections identify as shown in Table A.
Configuring IP Parameters TCP/IP configuration parameters (such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway) can be configured on the HP Jetdirect print server in a variety of ways. These values can be configured manually (for example, through Telnet, the embedded Web server, the arp and ping commands, and HP management software), or they can be automatically downloaded using DHCP or BOOTP each time the print server is turned on. For configuration methods, see Chapter 3.
Subnets When an IP network address for a particular network class is assigned to an organization, no provision is made for more than one network being present at that location. Local network administrators use subnets to partition a network into several different subnetworks. Splitting a network into subnets can result in better performance and improved use of limited network address space. Subnet Mask The subnet mask is a mechanism used to divide a single IP network into several different subnetworks.
Gateways Gateways (routers) are used to connect networks together. Gateways are devices that act as translators between systems that do not use the same communication protocols, data formatting, structures, languages, or architectures. Gateways repackage the data packets and change the syntax to match that of the destination system. When networks are divided into subnets, gateways are required to connect one subnet to another.
The syslog server may not receive all syslog events from the HP Jetdirect print server: ● ● ● UDP does not guarantee delivery of messages. The HP Jetdirect print server attempts to eliminate duplicate messages (to minimize unnecessary network traffic). The volume of messages sent by the HP Jetdirect print server is configurable. Methods to configure HP Jetdirect syslog parameters include BOOTP, DHCP, Telnet, the embedded Web server, and management software.
Typical logfile entries of syslog messages are illustrated below: Oct 22 08:10:33 jd08 printer: error cleared Oct 22 15:06:07 jd04 printer: powered up Oct 22 15:07:56 jd04 printer: offline or intervention needed Oct 22 15:08:58 jd04 printer: error cleared Oct 24 17:52:27 jd37 printer: powered up Oct 24 18:28:13 jd37 printer: printer is disconnected Oct 24 18:37:46 jd07 printer: error cleared Oct 24 18:38:42 jd37 printer: powered up Oct 25 07:50:16 jd04 printer: toner/ink low ENWW TCP/IP Overview 251
B HP Jetdirect 802.11b Wireless Print Servers Introduction HP Jetdirect wireless print servers are printer accessories that support the IEEE 802.11b standard for a wireless Ethernet local area network (WLAN). It uses radio signals to communicate with other WLAN devices or computers. The IEEE 802.11b standard defines the radio frequencies, communication protocols and data formatting required for devices to communicate.
Basic HP Jetdirect Wireless Concepts To assist in your installation of the HP Jetdirect wireless print servers on an IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN, this section provides an overview of some basic concepts that you may find helpful. For more information, refer to the documentation provided with your computer's wireless network interface card or with your Access Point, and to the IEEE 802.11b standards and related sources.
Figure B.1 Infrastructure Mode Examples Access Point in enterprise workgroup Residential Gateway as Access Point Access Point as Wireless Repeater Some devices may be named for their basic function, but may also provide Access Point services. For example, a Residential Gateway may provide Access Point wireless functions while connecting devices to an enterprise intranet, or the Internet, through a telephone or broadband connection.
You can use multiple Access Points on a network. You can strategically locate and configure your Access Points to create subgroups of wireless users and devices, and allow mobile users (and devices) to roam and connect to different Access Points without losing connection to the network. Ad Hoc (Peer-to-Peer) Mode In Ad Hoc (Peer-to-Peer) Mode, the wireless devices on a network communicate directly with each other, and Access Points are not used.
Channels The band of radio signals used for IEEE 802.11b wireless networking are segmented into specific frequencies, or "channels". For IEEE 802.11b wireless networks, 14 channels are available. But each country/region specifies the channels that are authorized for use. For example, in North America, only channels 1 through 11 are allowed. In Japan, channels 1 through 14 can be used. In Europe, except for France, channels 1 through 13 are allowed.
Network Access and Data Security Unlike a wired network which requires a physical connection, wireless networks can be accessed by devices and computers that are in range of the network's radio signals. It is not difficult for an intruder to eavesdrop on wireless network traffic to gain access to the network or observe network data. To inhibit unauthorized access, authentication and data encryption options for wireless networking are available.
Authentication Authentication is used to validate the identification of each device or computer that is attempting to communicate. The authentication method used on a wireless network is decided during network design and is primarily based on network security requirements. Consequently, the authentication method is closely associated with encryption options also used on the network. The authentication methods supported by the HP Jetdirect wireless print servers include: Open System, Shared Key, EAP/802.
EAP/802.1x. IEEE 802.1x EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is used on networks that use authentication servers, such as a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC 2138) server, for client authentication on a network. HP Jetdirect 802.11b wireless print servers support popular authentication methods based on EAP, including: ● LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol). LEAP is a Cisco Systems, Inc. proprietary protocol. LEAP requires an EAP User Name and EAP Password.
Certificates Digital certificates are used to validate the identity of network clients and servers and allow encrypted communications. A digital certificate is an electronic message typically containing, among other things, a key (a short string used for encryption and decryption) and a digital signature. Certificates may be issued and signed by a trusted third party (commonly called a Certificate Authority, or CA), which may exist internal or external to the organization.
must be available on all your wireless network devices. The need for a static WEP key depends on the authentication method used. For Open System authentication (the factory default configuration), a static WEP key can be configured but is not required. For Shared Key or EAP-MD5, a static WEP key must be configured, and it must match the active key on the other wireless network devices. The HP Jetdirect print server can store up to four static WEP keys, although only one is active at a time.
In dynamic WEP encryption, each device on the wireless network is assigned a different encryption key that expires at preset intervals and is then replaced. WPA encryption is an enhanced version of dynamic WEP and offers improved security. For example, new encryption keys are generated for fixed amounts of data (10 kilobytes) transmitted by a device on the network.
Installation Overview To connect and install a network printer using an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, you must complete these tasks: ● Connect the Print Server Hardware to the Printer ● Configure a Wireless Connection to Your Network ● Install the Printer on Your Network Systems Connect the Print Server Hardware to the Printer 1. To connect the hardware, use instructions in the documentation provided with the print server.
Configure a Wireless Connection to Your Network To be able to communicate on your network, the HP Jetdirect print server must have a wireless connection to your network. To set up the print server with a wireless connection, you must first configure it with wireless settings for your network. But before you can configure a new print server, you must be able to communicate with it.
To Set Up Your Wireless Computer for Jetdirect Communications To initially communicate with your new HP Jetdirect wireless print server, you may need to do the following: 1. Run your wireless client manager or wireless NIC configuration utility. 2.
To Configure the Jetdirect Print Server for Your Network To configure the Jetdirect print server’s wireless settings to match your network, using one of the following methods: ■ Using the HP Jetdirect Wireless Setup Wizard (Windows) ■ HP WPS Assistant (Mac OS X 10.1.5 or later) ■ Using Your Web Browser (Windows and Mac OS) Using the HP Jetdirect Wireless Setup Wizard (Windows).
3. In the Confirm Wireless Settings screen, verify your settings. If necessary, click TCP/IP Settings to set your IP address. Some networks may require presetting TCP/IP parameters for network access (for example, to accommodate special DHCP requirements or Access List restrictions). 4. When your HP Jetdirect print server has been configured with your wireless network settings, click Finish. 5. Verify that your printer can communicate on your network. See To Verify the Wireless Network Connection.
Using Your Web Browser (Windows and Mac OS). To use your Web browser to configure the Jetdirect wireless print server with a wireless connection to your network, your system must be set up for operation on a TCP/IP network. Web browser wireless connection instructions are provided for the following systems: Microsoft Windows, and Apple Macintosh (see page 270). ● Microsoft Windows. To use your Web browser on a Windows system, follow these steps: 1.
5. Open your Web browser and enter the IP address set on the HP Jetdirect print server as the URL. Communication with the print server is established when the Jetdirect print server’s embedded Web pages are displayed. Note If the Jetdirect embedded Web pages fail to display, try disabling the Web proxy server if your computer’s Web browser is configured to use one. 6. In the Jetdirect embedded Web pages, select the Networking tab. On the Network Settings page, select the 802.11b tab. 7.
