IPAssign
IPAssign
IPAssign is a Windows® utility which helps identify the PrintNet on the network. IPAssign relies on the TCP/IP protocol to locate PrintNet print servers so they can be assigned. Relying on TCP/IP as the underlying protocol, the print server can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask once it is detected on the network. Once IP address, subnet and gateway values are assigned, other tools like the HTML configuration forms can be used to do additional configuration.

The PrintNet settings can be configured over TCP/IP through a standard Web browser. The PrintNet Web pages provide a handy way to access some of the commands built in to the print server.
NOTE: If a router is used, make sure a gateway value is configured.
To access the PrintNet home page:
1.Make sure the print server has an IP address and subnet mask so it is recognizable on your TCP/IP network.
2.Make sure your network station can successfully “ping” the PrintNet over the network.
