Installing the network software

 

After you have successfully connected the HP LaserJet 3300 series product to your network, you

 

should install or reinstall the software that came with the product. The software must be installed

 

to take full advantage of the product features and to enable networked printing from each PC.

 

 

Note

If you are using a previously purchased HP Jetdirect print server, do not install the software that

 

came with it. Use the software that came with your HP LaserJet 3300 series product.

 

See the getting started guide that came with the product for complete instructions on installing the

 

 

software.

Using the embedded web server

Each HP Jetdirect 310x print server contains an embedded web server that you can access through a compatible web browser on an intranet. The embedded web server provides access to configuration and management pages for the print server and the attached printer. The networking pages provide access to status and configuration information on the HP Jetdirect 310x print server.

You can use the embedded web server to perform the following tasks:

Monitor the status of the printer and the print server

Make configuration changes to the print server to customize it for your network

Link to HP’s web site

Scan images over the network without installing the HP LaserJet 3300 series product software

Prerequisites

Computers with the TCP/IP protocol installed can use the embedded web server to monitor and configure the printers networked with an HP Jetdirect print server. Use the installation program on the product CD-ROM to set this up.

Before you can use the embedded web server, you must configure an IP address for the HP Jetdirect print server. Use the installation program on the product CD-ROM to configure the IP address.

Optionally, you can use BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to automatically configure the IP address over the network each time the print server is turned on.

Compatible web browsers

If you use Windows 9x, or NT 4.0, the embedded web server works with the following browsers:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.01, or 5.5

Netscape Navigator 4.6x, 4.7x, 6.0, or 6.1

If you use Windows 2000, ME, or XP, the following browsers are supported:
