1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect Embedded Print Server Introduction This printer or multifunction peripheral (MFP) device contains an HP Jetdirect embedded print server that is integrated directly on the device. Using this print server, you can connect this device directly to a network and share it among multiple users or systems. Because the print server is built into the device, an input/output (I/O) slot or external port is not needed for network connectivity and may be used for other purposes.
Identification Product Number and Firmware Version The features and capabilities of an HP Jetdirect print server depends on the print server’s product model/number and its operating firmware version. The print server can be upgraded with new firmware versions when they are released. New versions may provide enhanced features and capabilities.
Supported Network Protocols The supported network protocols, and popular network printing environments that use those protocols, are listed in Table 1.1. Table 1.1 Supported Network Protocols Supported Network Protocols Network Printing Environments* TCP/IP Microsoft Windows 98/Me/NT4.0/2000/XP (32- and 64-bit), Direct Mode printing Novell NetWare 5, 6.
Security Protocols SNMP (IP and IPX) SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used by network management applications for device management. HP Jetdirect print servers support SNMP and standard MIB-II (Management Information Base) objects on both IP and IPX networks. The HP Jetdirect embedded print server supports an SNMP v1/v2c agent, and an SNMP v3 agent for enhanced security.
Authentication EAP/802.1X Server-Based Authentication The HP Jetdirect print server supports network client access using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) on an IEEE 802.1X network. The IEEE 802.1X standard provides a port-based authentication protocol where a port can allow or block access depending on client authentication results. When connected to an 802.

Follow the instructions on the appropriate home page to find and configure or modify your printer. Removing HP Web Jetadmin Software To remove HP Web Jetadmin software from your Web server, use the uninstall program provided with the software package.
Internet Printer Connection Software The HP Jetdirect print server supports the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). Using the appropriate software on your system, you can create an IPP print path from your system to a supported HP Jetdirect-connected printer over the Internet. Note For incoming print path requests, the network administrator must configure the firewall to accept incoming IPP requests. Security features available in the software are currently limited.
2. To install the software and set up the print path to the printer, follow the instructions provided with the software. Contact your network administrator to get the IP address or URL of the printer to complete the setup. HP Software System Requirements ● Computer running Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (Intel-based) or Windows 2000 ● HP Jetdirect print server with IPP enabled. HP Software Supported Proxies Web proxy with support for HTTP v1.1 or greater (may not be needed if printing over an intranet).
4. Select Connect to a printer on the Internet and enter the print server’s URL: http://IP_address[/ipp/port#] where IP_address is the IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server and [/ipp/port#] is an optional parameter that defaults to /ipp/port1 for HP Jetdirect embedded print servers. Example: http://192.160.45.40 An IPP connection to HP Jetdirect embedded print server with IP address 192.160.45.40. (“/ipp/port1” is assumed and not required.) Then click Next. 5.
HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway for NDPS NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services) is a printing architecture developed by Novell in partnership with Hewlett-Packard. NDPS simplifies and streamlines the administration of network printing. It eliminates the need to set up and link print queues, printer objects, and print servers. Administrators can use NDPS to manage networked printers within supported NetWare environments.
To Get the Software The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway is included with all current versions of NDPS. Novell NetWare 5.x and 6.0 includes NDPS. To obtain the most recent software version, or to obtain the related documentation: ■ Visit http://www.hp.com/go/hpgate_sw ■ Select and follow the instructions for downloading drivers and software. System requirements and Novell Client support are included in the documentation supplied with the software.
HP LaserJet Utilities for Mac OS The HP LaserJet Utilities for Mac OS allow you to configure and manage your HP Jetdirect-connected printers on networks that use the AppleTalk (EtherTalk) protocol. Note On TCP/IP networks, you can use Mac OS system utilities to discover and install your printer: ● On Mac OS 9.x systems, use the Apple Desktop Printer Utility to set up LPR/LPD printing. ● On Mac OS X 10.x systems, use the Print Center to select IP Printing or Rendezvous to install your printer.
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.
Note Linux and UNIX systems: For more information, 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 such time as Dynamic Domain Name Services are provided. ● RARP.
Using BOOTP/TFTP 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. A properly configured BOOTP server on the network will respond with a message that contains basic network configuration data for the Jetdirect print server.
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. Entries and tags supported by the HP Jetdirect print server are listed in Table 3.1. Table 3.
Table 3.1 Tags Supported in a BOOTP/DHCP Boot file (2 of 4) Item RFC 2132 Option Description sm 1 The subnet mask tag. The subnet mask will be used by the HP Jetdirect print server to identify the portions of an IP address that specify the network/subnetwork number and the host address. gw 3 The gateway IP address tag. This address identifies the IP address of the default gateway (router) that the HP Jetdirect print server will use for communications with other subnets.
Table 3.1 Tags Supported in a BOOTP/DHCP Boot file (3 of 4) Item RFC 2132 Option Description tv 59 DHCP T2 timeout, specifying the DHCP lease rebind time (seconds). T69 69 The IP address (in hexadecimal) of the preferred outgoing e-mail SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) server, for use with supported Scan devices. T144 -- An HP-proprietary tag that specifies the relative path name of the TFTP configuration file. Long path names may be truncated.
Table 3.1 Tags Supported in a BOOTP/DHCP Boot file (4 of 4) Item RFC 2132 Option Description T149 -- Interlock Mode option. An HP-proprietary tag that specifies whether an acknowledgement (ACK) on all TCP packets is required before the printer is allowed to close a Port 9100 print connection. A Port Number and Option value are specified, in the form:
# # Example of an HP Jetdirect TFTP Configuration File # # Allow only Subnet 192.168.10 access to peripheral. # Up to 10 ‘allow’ entries can be written through TFTP. # Up to 10 ‘allow’ entries can be written through Telnet # or embedded Web server. # ‘allow’ may include single IP addresses. # allow: 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 # # # Disable Telnet # telnet-config: 0 # # Enable the embedded Web server # ews-config: 1 # # Detect SNMP unauthorized usage # auth-trap: on # # Send Traps to 192.168.10.
Table 3.2 lists the supported TFTP commands (HP Jetdirect firmware version V.28.xx or later). Table 3.3 describes the TFTP command parameters. Table 3.
Table 3.
Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (1 of 10) General passwd: (passwd-admin:) A password (up to 16 alphanumeric characters) that allows administrators to control changes of HP Jetdirect print server configuration parameters through Telnet, HP Web Jetadmin, or embedded Web server. The password may be cleared by a cold reset. sys-location: (host-location:, location:) Identifies the physical location of the printer (SNMP sysLocation object). Only printable ASCII characters are allowed.
Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (2 of 10) TCP/IP Main host-name: (sys-name:, name:) Specifies the node name that will appear on the Jetdirect configuration page. Default is NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the LAN hardware address. parm-file: Specifies the path and file name whose contents are sent to the printer for printing each time the print server is powered on. The path and filename entry is limited to 64 alphanumeric characters.
Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (3 of 10) lpd-printing: (lpd-config:, lpd:) Enables or disables LPD (Line Printer Daemon) printing services on the Jetdirect print server. 0 disables, 1 (default) enables. banner: A port-specific parameter that specifies printing an LPD banner page. 0 disables banner pages. 1 (default) enables banner pages.
Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (4 of 10) TCP/IP Access Control allow: netnum [mask] Makes an entry into the host access list stored on the HP Jetdirect print server. Each entry specifies a host or network of hosts that are allowed to connect to the printer. The format is “allow: netnum [mask]” where netnum is a network number or host IP address, and mask is an address mask of bits applied to the network number and host address to verify access. Up to 10 access list entries are allowed.
Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (5 of 10) slp-keep-alive: Specifies a time period for the print server to send multicast packets on the network to prevent being deleted from network device tables. Some infrastructure devices, such as switches, may delete active devices from their device tables due to inactivity on the network. To enable this feature, set a value from 1 to 1440 minutes. Set 0 to disable this feature.
Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (6 of 10) idle-timeout: The number of seconds that an idle print data connection is allowed to remain open. Since the card supports only a single TCP connection, the idle timeout balances the opportunity of a host to recover or complete a print job against the ability of other hosts to access the printer. The acceptable values range from 0 to 3600 (1 hour). If “0” is typed, the timeout mechanism is disabled. The default is 270 seconds.
Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (7 of 10) default-ip: Specifies the IP address to use when the print server is unable to obtain an IP address from the network during a forced TCP/IP reconfiguration (for example, when powered off/on or manually configured to use BOOTP/DHCP). DEFAULT_IP: sets the legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192. AUTO_IP: sets a link-local IP address 169.254.x.x. The initial setting is determined by the IP address obtained when first powered on.
Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (8 of 10) auth-trap: (authentication-trap:) Configures the print server to send (on) or not send (off) SNMP authentication traps. Authentication traps indicate that an SNMP request was received, but the community name check failed. The default is “on.” trap-dest: (trap-destination:) Enters a host’s IP address into the HP Jetdirect print server’s SNMP trap destination list.
Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (9 of 10) ipx-nds-context: An alphanumeric string, up to 256 characters, that specifies the NDS context for the HP Jetdirect print server. ipx-job-poll: Specifies the time interval (seconds) that the HP Jetdirect print server will wait to check for print jobs in a print queue. pjl-banner: (ipx-banner:) Enables or disables printing an IPX banner page. 0 disables banner pages. 1 (default) enables banner pages.
Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (10 of 10) upgrade: To configure one or more Jetdirect print servers with the name and location of a firmware upgrade file. CAUTION: Ensure that command parameters are properly entered and that the upgrade file is a higher version than the currently installed version. The print server will attempt to upgrade when the upgrade file contains a higher version than the installed version.
Using DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto configuration mechanisms that the HP Jetdirect print server uses. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the HP Jetdirect print server automatically obtains its IP address from that server and registers its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services as long as a WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server IP address has been specified.
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.
c. You must now provide the IP address of the WINS server by doing the following: ● Select Value, then Edit Array. ● From the IP Address Array Editor, select Remove to delete any undesired addresses previously set. Then type in the IP address of the WINS server and select Add. ● Once the address appears in the list of IP addresses, select OK. This returns you to the DHCP Options window.
6. Enter the range of IP addresses for this scope (beginning IP address and ending IP address). Also, enter the subnet mask. then click Next. Note If subnetting is used, the subnet mask defines which portion of an IP address specifies the subnet and which portion specifies the client device. For more information, see Appendix A. 7. If applicable, enter the range of IP addresses within the scope to be excluded by the server. Then click Next. 8. Set the IP address lease duration for your DHCP clients.
address for your HP Jetdirect-connected printer is available on the HP Jetdirect configuration page.) d. Under “Supported types”, select DHCP only, then click Add. (Note: Selecting Both or BOOTP only will result in a configuration through BOOTP due to the sequence in which HP Jetdirect print servers initiate configuration protocol requests.) e. Specify another reserved client, or click Close. The reserved clients added will be displayed in the Reservations folder for this scope. 12.
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.
Using RARP 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. Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as a superuser. 3.
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 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, Server 2003 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 This section describes how to configure the print server (firmware version V.28.xx or greater) using Telnet. Although a Telnet connection may be protected by an administrator password, Telnet connections are not secure. For networks with high security levels, Telnet connections can be disabled on the print server using other tools (for example, TFTP, embedded Web server, or HP Web Jetadmin software).
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. Note 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. To set Manual configuration, see the ip-config command. Whenever you are manually changing an IP address, you should also reconfigure the subnet mask and default gateway at the same time. Table 3.
Table 3.4 Telnet Commands and Parameters (2 of 13) sys-location Alpha-numeric string (up to 255 characters), typically used to identify a location. sys-contact Alpha-numeric string (up to 255 characters), typically used to identify the name of a network or device administrator. ssl-state Sets the print server’s security level for Web communications: 1: Forced redirection to the HTTPS port. Only HTTPS (secure HTTP) communications can be used. 2: Disable forced redirection to HTTPS.
Table 3.4 Telnet Commands and Parameters (3 of 13) subnet-mask A value (in dotted notation) that identifies the network and host portions of an IP address in received messages. For example, subnet-mask 255.255.255.0 stores the subnet mask value 255.255.255.0 on the print server. The value 0.0.0.0 disables the subnet mask. For more information see Appendix A. default-gw The IP address of a default gateway, in dotted notation. For example, default-gw 192.168.40.1 assigns 192.168.40.
Table 3.4 Telnet Commands and Parameters (4 of 13) TCP/IP Print Options Command Description 9100-printing Enables or disables printing to TCP port 9100 on the print server. 0 disables, 1 (default) enables. ftp-printing Enables or disables the ability to print through FTP. 0 disables, 1 (default) enables.

Note For instructions on using the control panel for your printer, refer to your printer documentation.
Moving to Another Network When moving an HP Jetdirect print server that is configured with an IP address to a new network, make sure that the IP address does not conflict with addresses on the new network. You may change the IP address of the print server to one that can be used on the new network, or erase the current IP address and configure another address on the new network.
4 Using the Embedded Web Server Introduction This device contains an embedded Web server that can be accessed from a compatible Web browser over an intranet. The embedded Web server provides access to configuration and management pages for the HP Jetdirect print server and the attached network device (such as a printer or multifunction, all-in-one device). Tabs across the upper portion of your browser window provide access to device and networking pages.
Requirements Compatible Web Browsers To access the embedded Web server, you must use a compatible Web browser. In general, the embedded Web server can be used with Web browsers that support HTML 4.01 and cascading style sheets. Hewlett-Packard tests a number of current and older browsers using a variety of systems. In general, we recommend using the following browsers: ● ● Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater Netscape Navigator 6.
Viewing the Embedded Web Server Before you can use the embedded Web server, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with an IP address. For a description of an IP address and an overview of TCP/IP networking, see Appendix A. There are many ways to configure an IP address on the print server. For example, you can automatically configure IP parameters over the network using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) each time the print server is turned on.
access. However, the print server may be configured to appear as a secure site using an installed X.509-compliant certificate for identification. When properly configured, encrypted browser communications through HTTPS (secure HTTP) may be used for secure access. Although not recommended, you can use your Internet Options menu to configure your browser to ignore security warnings if the print server is configured to operate through HTTPS. See Mgmt. Protocols. 4.

You can define up to six user-defined queues. Prepend String Name Enter the name of one or more strings to be added before (or prepended to) the print data. You specify string names and values in the table at the bottom of the page.
Table 4.6 LPD Queue Parameters (2 of 3) Item Description Queue Type Processing instruction for the queue. Choose from these four queue types: ● RAW -- No processing. The line printer daemon treats the data in a raw queue as a print job that has already been formatted in PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2, and sends it to the printer without modification. (Note that any user-defined prepend or append string will be added to the job in the appropriate position.) ● TEXT -- Carriage return added.
Table 4.6 LPD Queue Parameters (3 of 3) Item Description Value The content of the string. The String Name parameter names the string; the Value parameter defines its content. When a string name is specified for a prepend or append string (in the table at the top of the browser window), the line printer daemon sends the value of that string to the printer before or after the print data (as appropriate). Character values can be anywhere in the extended ASCII range of 0 to 255 (hex 00 to FF).
Example. If you had an LPD printer and wanted to reset it at the start of each print job, you could set up a user-defined print queue named “clear_printer” that issues a PCL reset command (Escape-E) at the beginning of each job. You could set this up as follows: First, set up the print queue: a. Name a string: Type "reset_string" into the String Name field in row 1. b. Define the string's value: Type "\1BE" (Escape-E) into the Value field in row 1. (Alternatively, you could type "\1B\45".) c.

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 your printer documentation for instructions. You must also have the following: ● An operating system that supports LPD printing.
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/Server 2003 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 This procedure lets you check whether you have TCP/IP installed on your Windows NT system, and to install the software if necessary.
If TCP/IP Protocol is listed in the Protocols tab, and Microsoft TCP/IP Printing is listed in the Services tab, you have already installed the necessary software. (Proceed to “Configuring a Network Printer for Windows NT 4.0 Systems.”) If not, go to step 2. 2. If you have not previously installed the software: ■ Windows 2000/Server 2003—In the Local Area Connection Properties window, click Install.
Configuring a Network Printer for Windows 2000/Server 2003 Systems Set up the default printer by performing the following steps. 1.

In the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) File section, click Change... and select the PPD for your printer. 4. In the Internet Printer or the LPR Printer section, depending on your version of the Desktop Printer Utility, click Change.... 5. Enter the printer's IP address or domain name for Printer Address. 6. Enter the queue name, if used.
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 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. rhelp This command depends on your client system (use rhelp on UNIX, or remotehelp on Windows NT/2000/Server 2003) and displays a list of FTP system commands supported by the print server. (Note: The commands displayed are not user commands.
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 213
