HP RIP Software - HP RIP Software User Guide

Installation 1-23

Using DHCP

DHCP dynamically reassigns IP addresses on your local area network.

If you use DHCP, you will need to reconfigure your desktop printer set-

tings any time that the print server is restarted. To find the new IP

address for the RIP, check the Server Status screen (see “Viewing

Server Status” on page 3-2). Then delete the printer and re-add it with

the new IP address. Alternatively, you can manually change the IP

address in the client workstation’s printer settings. Refer to your operat-

ing system documentation for instructions.

Step 9: Add the Hot

Folder to the Client

Workstation

In order to use the Hot Folder feature, you must locate the Hot Folder

on your office network and optionally add it to the desktop of the client

workstation. A client must log in to a valid account on the computer run-

ning the RIP to copy print jobs to the Hot Folder.
