d.Under “Supported types”, select DHCP only, then click Add. (Note: Selecting Both or BOOTP only will result in a BOOTP configuration due to the sequence in which HP JetDirect print servers initiate configuration protocol requests.)

12.Close the DHCP manager utility.

Enabling or Disabling DHCP

If you do not want your HP JetDirect print server configured via DHCP, you must disable DHCP configuration. There are three methods for enabling or disabling DHCP:

1.If you use the printer control panel to disable BOOTP on the HP JetDirect print server, then DHCP is disabled.

2.You can use Telnet to enable or disable DHCP operation on the HP JetDirect print server. When you disable a DHCP configuration via Telnet, the print server automatically releases any names and IP addresses associated with the DHCP server and re-initializes the TCP/IP protocol for the print server. At this point, the print server is unconfigured and begins to send BOOTP and RARP requests to acquire new (non-DHCP) configuration information.
