Print out a configuration page from the printer. You printer manual should tell you how to do this. Then once you print out the configuration page, note the IP address. This is to just confirm the IP address in case it is using deco and it may have changed. When you say you are using the HP software. I am assuming you are talking about JetAdmin. If so, fire up JetAdmin, then search for the printer with the IP address that you got from the configuration page. You should then see the printer in the JetAdmin program. Configure the printer with the right protocols and if you wish, give it a static IP address, as opposed to DHCP. Some like to give reservations in DHCP for the printer. This is a good practice if you have a tremendous amount of printers. But you mentioned you are a small shop, so this may just be easier for you. Make note of this IP and it must be excluded from DHCP. After you configure the printer, install it to a computer that will be the print server for this printer. When installing the printer it will ask if it is local. Choose local, then choose to create a standard TCP/IP port. This will ask you to put in the IP address of the printer. Then provide the drivers and give it a share name. You should be all set after that.

It sounds like you are printing to it via TCP/IP. It has obtained a new IP (probably from your DHCP server) You need to go into the properties of the printer on the NT workstation and change the IP addres the printer driver is set to. cheers dean -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 25 January 2002 8:17 p.m. To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: please be patient... i am not a network admin, i have lumped the duty of network stuff as we are a small setup so it's not that i am not doing my homework properly i just need to be pointed in the right direction for what reason would you not be able to see a printer on the network, b4 the printer re-assigned it'self a new IP addie it was working fine on this NT4 workstation, now it can't see the printer at all, even if it type the IP number in, i have TCP IP installed on the pc. If i look by hardware addie for the printer on my pc (we are connected to the same LAN) it find the printer, graned i can see it on the network, but if i do it on the other pc i can't, the pc is logged into the network and it able to see all other recourses and servers... any ideas? ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] *************************************************** This e-mail is not an official statement of the Waikato Regional Council unless otherwise stated.
