I see a printer screen, but have two options: Home and Administration. All I need to do is change the printer's name so that others on the network can tell which one it is. I also have the second-hand printer as mentioned above. Help, please? My problem is that when I type in the URL in step 4, I don’t get the same screen as you.

Note: this only happened after a COLD reset by myself. On page A 31, Table A.1 of the HP JetDirect 610N user guide (available at http://www.scribd.com) Also note, it took a power off and on of the printer after following the below to be able to bring up the usual jetadmin interface. Selects whether you want to access the TCP/IP menu and set TCP/IP protocol parameters. NO* (default): Bypass the TCP/IP menu items. YES*: Access the TCP/IP menu items. In the TCP/IP menu, you can specify BOOTP=YES* or DHCP=YES* for TCP/IP parameters to be automatically configured by a BootP or DHCP server when the printer is turned on. If you specify BOOTP=NO* and DHCP=NO*, you can manually set the following TCP/IP parameters from the control panel: Each byte of the IP address (IP) Subnet Mask (SM) Syslog Server (LG) Default Gateway (GW) Idle Timeout period (default is 270 seconds, 0 disables the timeout) Print a Jetdirect configuration page to verify your settings. However, note that the print server may overwrite selected parameters with values that ensure proper operation. HI all

Also note, it took a power off and on of the printer after following the below to be able to bring up the usual jetadmin interface.

Selects whether you want to access the TCP/IP
menu and set TCP/IP protocol parameters.
NO* (default): Bypass the TCP/IP menu items.
YES*: Access the TCP/IP menu items.
In the TCP/IP menu, you can specify
BOOTP=YES* or DHCP=YES* for TCP/IP
parameters to be automatically configured by a
BootP or DHCP server when the printer is turned
on.

If you specify BOOTP=NO* and DHCP=NO*, you
can manually set the following TCP/IP parameters
from the control panel:

Each byte of the IP address (IP)
Subnet Mask (SM)
Syslog Server (LG)
Default Gateway (GW)
Idle Timeout period (default is 270 seconds,
0 disables the timeout)

Print a Jetdirect configuration page to verify your
settings. However, note that the print server may
overwrite selected parameters with values that
ensure proper operation.

If I had come across it first i wouldnt have to email you. Basically I had a static IP address but did not know how to add it as per Step 3 " “Local Printer attached to this computer”" I was choosing "a network printer ..". I managed to log into my jetdirect admin panel and stupidly changed it from manual to DCHP.ie. from a 192.168.0.x address to now its 192.0.0.192 when i print out the config page. But when i type 192.0.0.192 it just keeps timing out, saying "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." So my question is, How do I get back into the jetdirect admin panel to put the TCP/IP selection back to 'manual'? Hi, very informative tutorial.

This is because you may not be able to access the printer using the IP address which prints out at first if the address and/or subnet mask are not in the same range as your own network. Once I had that sorted out, I was fine.

Who would have thought that local printer would have to be selected. Many thanks for your article!

The first time I tried installing a network printer I selected the obvious "network printer" option but of course it didn't work. Then I found this guide and everything worked fine. Good job.

After stuggling with all the HP Books, Set Up documentation, training disk and all the JUNK they think to include....they somehow missed the basics. Your concise description was PERFECT worked like a charm first time out. Big business needs to learn how important it is to make it easier to get started using their products, Thanks again Thank you Thank you…. you are a ROCKSTAR.
