Using the embedded Web server Note The embedded Web server allows you to view printer and network status and to manage printing functions from your computer instead of from the printer control panel. Below are examples of what you can do using the embedded Web server: view printer control status information set the type of media loaded in each tray determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones view and change tray configurations view and change the printer control panel menu configuration view and print internal pages receive notification of printer and supplies events view and change network configuration The embedded Web server feature requires at least 48 MB of RAM and an HP Jetdirect print server in order to connect to your network. The HP LaserJet 2300n printer HP LaserJet 2300dn printer, and HP LaserJet 2300dtn printer already meet these requirements. The HP LaserJet 2300d printer requires an HP Jetdirect print server, and the HP LaserJet 2300L printer and HP LaserJet 2300 printer require 16 MB of RAM and an HP Jetdirect print server. To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and later or Netscape 6.2 and later for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux (Netscape only). Netscape Navigator 4.7 is required for HP-UX 10 and HP-UX 11. The embedded Web server works when the printer is connected to an IP-based network. The embedded Web server does not support IPX-based printer connections. You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server. When the printer is directly connected to a computer, the embedded Web server is supported for Windows 95 and later. In order to use the embedded Web server with a direct connection, you must choose the Custom installation option when you install the printer driver. Select the option to load Printer Status and Alerts. The proxy server is installed as part of the Printer Status and Alerts software. When the printer is connected to the network, the embedded Web server is automatically available.
