Verifying Network Configuration, Renaming the Printer

Page 30 highlights

Verifying Network Configuration To verify your current network configuration, print a Jetdirect configuration page. If you have not printed a configuration page from your printer, see your printer documentation for instructions (see Chapter 9 for more information). If your printer has a control panel, make sure a READY message appears on the control panel for at least 1 minute, then print the page. The current configuration is listed under "AppleTalk" on the configuration page. Note If you have multiple printers on your network, you need to print a configuration page to identify the printer's name and zone. Renaming the Printer The factory supplies a default name for your printer. Hewlett-Packard highly recommends that you rename your printer to avoid having multiple printers with similar names on your network. CAUTION After you have renamed the printer and have set up print queues to that printer, use caution when changing the printer name again. If you rename the printer again, the queues for that printer will no longer function. Note The name may be up to 32 characters in length. A warning beep indicates that an illegal character was typed. For illegal characters, see the Help system integrated with the software. You can name your printer anything you like-for example, "Michael's LaserJet 4000." The HP LaserJet Utility has the ability to rename devices located in different zones, as well as the local zone (no zones need to be present in order to use the HP LaserJet Utility).

Verifying Network Configuration
To verify your current network configuration, print a Jetdirect
configuration page. If you have not printed a configuration page
from your printer, see your printer documentation for instructions
(see
Chapter 9
for more information). If your printer has a control
panel, make sure a
READY
message appears on the control panel for
at least 1 minute, then print the page. The current configuration is
listed under “AppleTalk” on the configuration page.
Note
If you have multiple printers on your network, you
need to print a configuration page to identify the
printer’s name and zone.
Renaming the Printer
The factory supplies a default name for your printer.
Hewlett-Packard highly recommends that you rename your
printer to avoid having multiple printers with similar
names on your network.
CAUTION
After you have renamed the printer and have set up
print queues to that printer, use caution when
changing the printer name again. If you rename the
printer again, the queues for that printer will no
longer function.
Note
The name may be up to 32 characters in length.
A warning beep indicates that an illegal character
was typed. For illegal characters, see the Help
system integrated with the software.
You can name your printer anything you like—for example,
“Michael’s LaserJet 4000.” The HP LaserJet Utility has the ability
to rename devices located in different zones, as well as the local zone
(no zones need to be present in order to use the HP
LaserJet Utility).
