HP Jetdirect troubleshooting Is the printer on the same network as the computer? The solid or flickering green Status light on the print server indicates that the printer is connected to a wireless network, but it doesn't ensure that the printer is connected to the right wireless network. Check your printer's wireless configuration by looking at the configuration page you recently printed (or simply print another one). Compare the printer's wireless configuration to the wireless configuration of the computer. Check these parameters: q Mode of operation: ad hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (through a wireless access point) q Network name (SSID) q Encryption configuration q Authentication configuration (If the computer you are attempting to print from is not a wireless computer but is on a network that is connected to your wireless network, check that the printer's configuration matches the configuration of a wireless computer on the wireless network.) Note: If the printer's wireless configuration is: q Mode: ad hoc (peer-to-peer) q Network name (SSID): hpsetup q Encryption/authentication: disabled then the print server is set to its factory default configuration and needs to be configured. In that case, exit this troubleshooting procedure and run the Wireless Setup Wizard and the Install Network Printer Wizard. (Start by inserting the HP Jetdirect CD into your computer. When the main screen comes up, select "Install"; then select "Wireless"; then select "No, the wireless settings have not been configured . . ."; then select "Step 1 -- Configure printer's wireless settings".) file:///C|/Bottlecap_Structure_26--TestMerge/DOCS/EN/280M/USER/LWTNET08.HTM (1 of 2) [5/20/2003 3:56:43 PM]

HP Jetdirect troubleshooting
Is the printer on the same network as the
computer?
The solid or flickering green Status light on the print server indicates that the
printer is connected to
a
wireless network, but it doesn't ensure that the printer is
connected to the
right
wireless network.
Check your printer's wireless configuration by looking at the configuration page
you recently printed (or simply print another one). Compare the printer's wireless
configuration to the wireless configuration of the computer. Check these
parameters:
●
Mode of operation: ad hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (through a
wireless access point)
●
Network name (SSID)
●
Encryption configuration
●
Authentication configuration
(If the computer you are attempting to print from is not a wireless computer but is
on a network that is connected to your wireless network, check that the printer's
configuration matches the configuration of a
wireless
computer on the wireless
network.)
Note:
If the printer's wireless configuration is:
●
Mode: ad hoc (peer-to-peer)
●
Network name (SSID): hpsetup
●
Encryption/authentication: disabled
then the print server is set to its factory default configuration and needs
to be configured. In that case, exit this troubleshooting procedure and
run the Wireless Setup Wizard and the Install Network Printer Wizard.
(Start by inserting the HP Jetdirect CD into your computer. When the
main screen comes up, select "Install"; then select "Wireless"; then select
"No, the wireless settings have not been configured . . ."; then select
"Step 1 -- Configure printer's wireless settings".)
