troubleshooting

If the light is solid blue, the HP PSC is connected to the network.

If the network light is off, check cable connections from the HP PSC to your gateway, router, or hub to ensure connections are secure.

Make sure the HP PSC is connected to the network with a CAT-5 Ethernet cable.

If the connections are secure, recycle the power on your HP PSC. Press the On button on the front panel to turn the HP PSC off, and press it again to turn the device on.

Verify that the HP PSC’s internal networking component is set to its factory default settings. If the print server was previously configured, it might need to be reset to the factory default settings.

Communication mode: ad-hoc (peer-to-peer)

Network name (SSID): hpsetup

Encryption: disabled

You can check the print server's configuration by printing a network configuration page. (For more information on printing a network configuration page, see use the network configuration tools on page 75.)

Note: For information on how to restore factory default settings, see use the network configuration tools on page 75.

Move the HP PSC and the computer closer together. If the distance between your computer and the printer is significant, try reducing the distance. If possible, provide a clear path between the computer and print server, and minimize sources of radio interference.

Unable to determine or verify network name during installation

Setup has either detected multiple networks or has been unable to read or verify the network name from the access point.

In the Select Network Name screen, do one of the following:

Enter a new SSID entry. If you choose to enter the wireless Network Name (SSID), also select the Communication Mode (Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure).

Select an existing network name from the list. Up to 12 SSIDs, detected at the time the internal networking component booted up, might be listed.

Note: The SSID entry is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, including spaces. You cannot leave the network name field blank.

"You are using advanced forms of encryption, such as dynamic encryption, WPA, or EAP-PSK.

The above-mentioned encryption methods must be entered through the embedded Web server. For more information, see wireless network setup on page 141.

In dynamic encryption, each device has a different key and all keys change frequently. Dynamic encryption is much harder for an intruder to circumvent, since the keys are likely to change before the intruder can reverse engineer them.
