Resolve communication problems with the network
Check the following items to verify the MFP is communicating with the network. This information assumes a Network configuration page has already been printed. See Networking page (HP Color LaserJet CM1017 MFP only).
1.Are the network cables connected properly?
Ensure that the MFP is attached to the network using the appropriate port and cable. Verify each cable connection to make sure it is secure and in the right place. If the problem continues, try a different cable or ports on the hub or transceiver. The amber activity light should be blinking and the green link status light should be solid next to the port connection on the MFP back.
2.Review the information on the Network Hardware Configuration page. Start with the Network Hardware section:
●Initializing: If the printer has not obtained a valid IP address, wait four minutes and reprint the Network Hardware Configuration page.
●Not Connected: a
●Connected: The printer has been assigned a TCP/IP address from BOOTP, DHCP, or
AUTOIP.
●Duplicate IP address detected: Another networked device has the same IP address assigned. Contact the network administrator to resolve this issue.
Review under the TCP/IP section of the Network Hardware Configuration page the IP configured by method:
●Manual: User entered information. Verify the TCP/IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway are correct.
●DHCP: Automatically assigned TCP/IP address by the dynamic host controller protocol (DHCP) server.
●BOOTP: Manually assigned TCP/IP address by the BOOTP server.
●AUTOIP: Default address assigned for Link Local connection (no DHCP or BOOTP server available).
3.Can you “ping” the MFP?
Use the command prompt to ping the MFP from the computer. For example: ping 192.168.0.10
Ensure that the ping displays
If you can ping the MFP, verify that the IP address configuration for the MFP is correct on the workstation. If it is correct, uninstall and
If the ping command failed, verify that the network hubs are on, then verify that the network settings, the MFP, and the computer are all configured for the same network.
4.Are other MFPs able to print?
