one of the areas I support has purchased a HP 1320n laser printer to
be networked for 3 people.
I have tried setting it up on both an OSX mac and a Win XP printer and
in both cases can get it to print via USB but via ethernet it is
constantly coming up with the IP address of 192.0.0.192.
That IP address is likely coming from a DHCP server sitting on the
network somewhere.
The HP support site recommends resetting the Jet-Direct on-board by
doing the following:
reset the Internal HP Jetdirect print server to the factory
defaults. To cold reset the Internal HP Jetdirect print server, turn
off the printer. While pressing the Reset button on the back of the
printer, turn on the printer. Continue to press the Reset button
until the printer is in the Ready state (from 5 to 30 seconds).
If this doesn't work, I suspect you might need to set your own computer
to an address on the same subnet to reconfigure it - and make sure you
change your computer back to what it's address is supposed to be :-)
If all that fails you could also add an arp entry to your arptable that
tells your computer that a certain MAC address (not to be confused with
a Macintosh address) is reachable with a specified IP address. The aim
of this is to be able to make your computer think that it can reach the
printer, so you can configure it.
Of course I don't actually have this particular HP printer, nor am I on
your network, so none of this might actually help, but you get it all
for free ;-)
Good luck,
