How do I change the IP address of the HP Jetdirect print server?

You might need to do this if you are moving the printer from one LAN subnet to another, and need to change the IP address because of a conflict.

Note: This procedure will not work if the Jetdirect is not correctly configured, either because of an error or because it is a brand new card.

 

To change the IP address of the HP Jetdirect print server...

  • Print the configuration pages of the HP Jetdirect print server, using the following procedure:
    • Press and hold down the Power key (the bottom key on the front panel).
    • Press the Continue key (the upper right key on the front panel) four times while the Power key is pressed.
    • Release the Power key. The printer will print information sheets that give information about the network server.
  • Look for the TCP/IP area. You will find there the current IP address of the HP Jetdirect print server, in the format 'nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn' (where each nnn is a number between 0 and 255).
  • From your Web browser enter this IP address as http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
  • Select the Networking tab which will give you access to the screen where you can modify the IP address.
  • Set the IP configuration method to Manual and enter the new IP address.
  • Finally click on Apply.
