HP 4250 manual

2I have not been able to print from any client to the intended printer.

3The printer's Property page in Network Neighborhood does not work properly. An error message appears whenever a change is accepted.

4A printer had to be taken off the network for repair, and it was replaced by one having a different IP address. Print jobs reach the queue but never print.

5The PSA is set up to use DHCP. When I powered it off and then powered it back up again, DHCP reassigned it to a different IP address than it had previously. Now the clients can no longer print. How can I avoid this?

6I changed the printer name and now the clients cannot print.

●The IP address or printer name may not be correctly configured for the desired printer. Verify that the PSA can print to the printer by using the "print test page" functionality of the printer property page in the web interface of the PSA. If the test page does not print, there is a problem in the communication between the PSA and the printer. See more information about the TCP/IP and DNS Settings page or the Microsoft Network Settings page.

●The PSA may be unable to communicate with a domain controller in order to verify the clients ID and password. Check the Domain Membership Status field on the Microsoft Network Settings page to verify that the PSA can communicate with the domain controller.

●If NT Domain Security is enabled, the security settings may have changed. Verify that the user has authority to print. This can be done from the PSA's web interface by selecting Print Shares- >Security. By default, the group Everyone has permission to print. If Everyone does not have permission to print, add it.

●If NT Domain Security is enabled, verify that the group Everyone exists in the domain.

The user you are logged in as may not have the appropriate permissions to perform the operation. For NT Domain security, verify that the user you are logged in as is a member of the Domain Administrators group. If you are not using NT Domain security, verify that there is an administrator account on the PSA with the same name and password as the user that you are logged in as.

Open a web browser, point it at the PSA, and select the Print Shares page. Select the Properties page for that printer. Change the IP address

or DNS host name for the printer and click . If the printer was

stopped in the middle of a print job, that job will be lost, but any other jobs in the queue will now print to the new printer.

Use a WINS server along with DHCP, so that when the PSA powers up it will always be reassigned the same IP address.

If you are not using WINS, you may alternatively set the PSA IP address manually and have the DHCP administrator select an IP Address Pool range which excludes the PSA address.

Or, have the DHCP administrator supply the PSA with an "infinite lease" duration for its assigned IP address.

Use the Windows Add Printer wizard at the clients and enter or browse to the new printer name. Also, delete the client's old printer driver which referred to the previous printer name.
