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 :-)
all this has been done (umm I thought I mentioned it in original
post? ops no just the next step of trying the same with a crossover
direct connection)
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.
hmmm will look up on this option
thanks
