Find a printer in dynamic mode (see item #3 in Figure 8-1 HP UPD dialog box on
page 74)
From the HP Universal Printing dialog box, you can find a printer (see item #3 in Figure 7-1 HP UPD dialog
box on page 55) locally or on the network and print to it.
The following methods for locating and connecting to a printer are available:
●
Enter a printer address—Recommended if the IP address, host name or UNC path is known or if you
want to use a printer that is outside your local subnet.
NOTE: To determine the printer address, print a configuration page from the printer.
●
Search for network printers—Recommended if you do not have the printer address for a printer or you
want to see what products are available on your subnet. This feature uses a local subnet broadcast
known as Multicast DNS (mDNS) and is similar to the Bonjour or Rendezvous protocol.
For Devices to show up in the Network Printers list, the following requirements must be met:
◦
The printer must be on the same subnet as the PC running dynamic mode.
◦
mDNS, TCP/IP v4 protocol, port 9100 printing must be enabled.
NOTE: The printer list returned represents the list of printers available on the local subnet. The
information for each printer by default represents the mDNS service name and is a text field that can be
changed to provide more descriptive information for the users.
●
Search for print shares—Recommended if you want to view shared printers on the network or
products that use a print server.
NOTE: The above are all default options. Other options might be available depending on the print policies
created by your system administrator. Contact your system administrator for more information about these
options.
