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. And if the print server is
powered off/on, the same method will again be used to retrieve IP
configuration settings. If this method now fails to retrieve the IP
configuration settings (for example, the BOOTP or DHCP server is
no longer available), a default IP address will not be assigned.
Instead, the print server will continue to send IP configuration
requests indefinitely. You must cold-reset the print server to change
this behavior.
In addition, a default IP address will not be assigned if a network
cable is not attached to a wired print server.

Default IP Address Will Be Assigned

A default IP address will be assigned if the factory-default methods
fail, or if the print server has just been reconfigured by an
administrator to use a server-based method (such as BOOTP or
DHCP) that fails.
If a default IP address is assigned, the address will depend on the
network to which the print server is connected. The print server
senses broadcast packets on the network to determine the
appropriate default IP settings:

On small private networks that adhere to automated,
standards-based IP address assignments, the print server uses
a link-local addressing technique to assign a unique IP address.
Link-local addressing may be referenced as Auto IP. The IP
address assigned will be in the range of 169.254.1.0 to
169.254.254.255 (commonly referenced as 169.254/16), and
should be valid. However, it can be further modified for your
network using supported TCP/IP configuration tools if
necessary.
