HP Jetdirect Print Servers - Administrator Guide

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 70
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.
If you do not want your HP Jetdirect print server configured
through DHCP, you must reconfigure the print server with a
different configuration method.
1. (For internal print servers) If you use the printer control panel
to set Manual or BOOTP configuration, then DHCP will not be
used.
2. You can use Telnet to set Manual (status indicates “User
Specified”) or BOOTP configuration, then DHCP will not
be used.
3. You can manually modify the TCP/IP parameters through a
supported Web browser using the Jetdirect embedded Web
server or HP Web Jetadmin.
If you change to BOOTP configuration, the DHCP-configured
parameters are released and the TCP/IP protocol is initialized.
If you change to Manual configuration, the DHCP-configured IP
address is released and the user-specified IP parameters are used.
Therefore, if you manually provide the IP address, you
should also manually set all of the configuration
parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway, and
idle timeout.
