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. Or, you can manually configure IP parameters using the
printer's control panel, Telnet, the "arp" and "ping" system
commands, HP Web Jetadmin or other management software. For
more information on TCP/IP configuration options, see Chapter 3.
When powered on, an HP Jetdirect print server that is unable to
retrieve a valid IP address from the network will automatically
assign itself either a legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 or a
link-local address in the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. The
IP address configured on your print server can be determined by
inspecting the Jetdirect configuration page for the print server. See
Chapter 3 for more information.
If the legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 has been assigned, you
must temporarily set up your computer with the same IP network
number or establish a route to the print server before you can gain
access to the embedded Web server.
After an IP address is established on the print server, perform the
following steps:
1. Run a supported Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the print server as the URL.
