Viewing the Embedded Web Server Before you can use the embedded web server, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with an IP address. There are many ways to configure an IP address on the print server. You can automatically configure IP parameters over the network using BootP (Bootstrap Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) each time the printer is turned on. Or, you can manually configure IP parameters using Telnet, HP Web Jetadmin, or other management software. If the HP Jetdirect print server does not receive its IP configuration within two minutes, a default IP address is automatically assigned: 192.0.0.192. This address is not a valid IP address for your network but can be used to initially access the print server. However, to use the default IP address, you must temporarily set up your system with the same IP network number or establish a route to it. After an IP address is established on the print server, perform the following steps: 1. Run a supported version of your Web browser. 2. Enter the IP address of the print server as the URL (the one displayed in the following screenshot is an example only).

Viewing the Embedded Web Server
Before you can use the embedded web server, the HP Jetdirect
print server must be configured with an IP address.
There are many ways to configure an IP address on the print
server. You can
automatically
configure IP parameters over the
network using BootP (Bootstrap Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) each time the printer is turned on.
Or, you can
manually
configure IP parameters using Telnet,
HP Web Jetadmin, or other management software.
If the HP Jetdirect print server does not receive its IP
configuration within two minutes, a default IP address is
automatically assigned: 192.0.0.192. This address is not a valid
IP address for your network but can be used to initially access
the print server. However, to use the default IP address, you
must temporarily set up your system with the same IP
network
number
or establish a route to it.
After an IP address is established on the print server, perform
the following steps:
1.
Run a supported version of your Web browser.
2.
Enter the IP address of the print server as the URL (the one
displayed in the following screenshot is an example only).
