Page 34: Tcp/Ip Configuration
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 Server-Based and Manual TCP/IP Configuration When in a factory-default state and powered on, the HP Jetdirect...
Page 35: Default Ip Address
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.
Page 36 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.
Page 37 DHCP Requests Enable/Disable When a default IP address is assigned, you can configure the print server 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.
Page 38 TCP/IP Configuration Tools When a network connection has been established, an HP Jetdirect print server can be configured with valid TCP/IP parameters for your network in the following ways: Using Software. You can use installation, setup, and management software running on supported systems. For more information see Chapter “HP Software Solutions...
Page 39 arp and ping commands. (For print servers configure with Legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 only) You can use the arp and ping commands from your system. For more information, “Using the arp and ping Commands”. Telnet. You can set configuration parameters using Telnet. In order to set configuration parameters, set up a Telnet connection from your system to the HP Jetdirect print server using the default IP address.
Page 40: Using Bootp/Tftp
Using BOOTP/TFTP For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section Note assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. 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.
Page 41 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.
Page 42 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.
Page 43 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.
Page 44 Table 3.1 Tags Supported in a BOOTP/DHCP Boot file (2 of 4) Item Description 2132 Option 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.

Page 62: Using Dhcp
Using DHCP For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section Note assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto configuration mechanisms that the HP Jetdirect print server uses.
Page 63: Unix Systems
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”.
Page 64 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.
Page 65 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.
Page 66 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.
Page 67 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.
Page 68: Netware Systems
11. Configure your printer with a reserved IP address within the DHCP scope: a. In the DHCP tree, open the folder for your scope and select Reservations. b. Click the Action menu and select New Reservation. Enter the appropriate information in each field, including the reserved IP address for your printer.
Page 69 1. (For internal print servers) If you use the printer control panel to set Manual or BOOTP configuration, then DHCP will not be used. 2. You can use Telnet to set Manual (status indicates “User Specified”) or BOOTP configuration, then DHCP will not be used.
Page 70: Using Rarp
Using RARP For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section Note assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. This section describes how to configure the print server using the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) on UNIX and Linux systems.
Page 71 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 If your system uses Network Information Service Note (NIS), you need to incorporate changes to the NIS host and ethers databases.
Page 72: Using The Arp And Ping Commands
Using the arp and ping Commands For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section Note assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address using an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command from a supported system.
Page 73 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 Once the IP address has been set on the print server, Note additional arp and ping commands will be ignored.
Page 74: Using Telnet
Using Telnet For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section Note assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. This section describes how to configure the print server using Telnet. Although a Telnet connection may be protected by an administrator password, Telnet connections are not secure.
Page 75 To use the route command, you will also need the IP address of your workstation. To view it, you can enter the appropriate command at the command prompt: (on Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003) C:\> ipconfig (on Windows 98) C:\> winipconfig To create a route from the system command prompt, enter the following command: route add <Jetdirect IP Address>...

These instructions include: LPD on UNIX Systems Configuring BSD-based UNIX systems using LPD...
Page 155 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...
Page 156: Lpd Setup Overview
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.
Page 157 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.
Page 158: Lpd On Unix Systems
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 designation.
Page 159 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.

Page 172: Ftp Printing
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.
Page 173: Print Files
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.
Page 174 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.
Page 175 FTP Login To start an FTP session, enter the following command from a MS-DOS or UNIX command prompt: ftp <IP address> where <IP address> 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.
Page 176 Ending the FTP Session To end an FTP session, type quit or bye. Prior to ending an FTP session, a Ctrl C command Note is recommended to ensure the data connection is closed. Commands Table 6.1 summarizes commands available to the user during an FTP printing session.

Page 236: Tcp/Ip Overview
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.
Page 237: Ip Address
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.
Page 238 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.
Page 239 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.
Page 240: Configuring Ip Parameters
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.
Page 241: Subnets
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.
Page 242: Gateways
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.
Page 243 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.
Page 244 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...
Page 245 The HP Jetdirect EIO Control Panel Menu Introduction When supported by the printer, HP Jetdirect EIO internal print servers contain a configuration menu that can be accessed from the printer’s control panel. The keystrokes to access this menu from the printer control panel depend on the printer.
Page 246: Classic Control Panel
Classic Control Panel Classic control panels can typically display two lines of 16 characters each. As described in Table B.1, the HP Jetdirect control panel menu allows you to enable or disable network protocols, and configure selected network parameters. On the control panel display, an asterisk (*) is used to identify the selected value.
Page 247 Table B.1 HP Jetdirect Classic Control Panel Menu (2 of 3) Menu Item Description CFG TCP/IP= Selects whether you want to access the TCP/IP menu and set TCP/IP protocol parameters. NO (default): Bypass the TCP/IP menu items. YES: Access the TCP/IP menu items. BOOTP=YES* enables configuration by a BootP Server.
Page 248 Table B.1 HP Jetdirect Classic Control Panel Menu (3 of 3) Menu Item Description CFG LINK= Selects whether you want to manually configure the HP Jetdirect print server’s network link. NO (default): Bypass the link configuration menu items. YES: Access the link configuration menu items. The link speed and communication mode must match the network.
Page 249: Graphical Control Panel
Graphical Control Panel Graphical control panels typically display 18 characters on a line, and as many as four MENUS + XXXXXXXXXX + XXXXXXXXXX + XXXXXXXXXXXX + XXXXXXXXXXXX + XXXXXXXX + XXXXXXXX lines at a time. In addition, scrolling may be supported to allow display of additional lines.
Page 250 Table B.2 HP Jetdirect Graphical Control Panel Menu (2 of 4) Menu Item Options Description of settings DHCP RELEASE This menu appears if CONFIG METHOD was set to DHCP and a DHCP lease for the print server exists. NO (default): The current DHCP lease is saved.
