HP 4250 manual

7I keep getting prompted for a password when I use a web browser to access the PSA even though the PSA is a member of a domain.

8I want to use a hyphen in the beginning of some of my PSA names, so that they will print first in a list of PSAs.

9I have a Windows 2000 environment and I am trying to integrate my PSAs into it.

10I have a non-HP print server I am trying to use with my PSA. Will this work?

11I am trying to configure the PSA using TELNET. Will this work?

12The Network Neighborhood browser has not yet updated.

Whether you get prompted for a password and what the password prompt looks like are a function of your web browser and its configuration. If the PSA is a member of a domain, it will always ask your browser to use your existing Windows Domain authentication. Microsoft's Internet Explorer uses a concept of security zones to determine whether the web server (in this case, the PSA) is within the "Intranet Zone". There are a number of ways to include the PSA in the "Intranet Zone", but the easiest is to open:

Tools--> Internet Options-->Connections-->LAN Settings-->Advanced

and type the full name, the IP address, and the short name in the "Exceptions" box. This will cause Microsoft's Internet Explorer to connect directly with the PSA and avoid your proxy server. By default, Internet Explorer considers direct connections in the "Intranet Zone". Consult your Microsoft Internet Explorer documentation to determine other ways to include the PSA in the "Intranet Zone". If you are using proxy servers in your environment and you want to use the single sign-on functionality, your web browser will need to be set up to bypass the proxy server for the PSA's host name (if it includes periods) and IP address. An administrator can view or change their local Intranet settings in the Internet Options page under the Security tab by selecting Local Intranet and clicking on the Sites button.

Note: The single sign-on feature of the PSA only works with Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

The PSA name (entered on the Microsoft Networking Settings page) can

contain up to 15 alphanumeric characters. It may also contain dashes ( - ) and underscores (_). (The hostname cannot begin with a hyphen

(-), but it can have a hyphen within the name. The hyphen cannot be the first character because the PSA name is is also used for the DNS name generation, and the hyphen character is not allowed as the first character in a DNS name.)

The PSA can use a Windows 2000 system for authorization and participate in a Windows 2000 domain in much the same manner as an NT 4.0 server can. The Windows 2000 system must be configured to support NTLM V1, which is a version of the authorization protocol used by Windows system.

Yes, if the printer supports LPD. You may have to know the proper LPD remote queue name for the print server. Many print servers will work without specifying a remote queue name (use the default HP PRINT SERVER setting); however, some require a special string in order to work. The LPD remote queue name can be obtained from the print server vendor.

No. You can assign IP addresses via DHCP, the front panel, and a web browser. After an IP address is assigned, you must use a web browser to finish configuring the PSA.

Try accessing the PSA by selecting Start from the task bar, and select Find and Computer.
