Configuring the Printer for the Network at the Printer Control Panel

You might need to configure certain network parameters on the printer. You can configure these parameters from the printer control panel or, for most networks, from the HP JetAdmin software (or the HP LaserJet Utility for Macintosh). The utilities are provided on the printing software CD-ROM that comes with the printer.

For a complete list of supported networks and for instructions on configuring network parameters from software such as the

HP JetAdmin software, see the HP JetDirect Print Server Software Installation Guide. The guide comes with printers in which an

HP JetDirect print server is installed.

This section contains the following instructions for configuring network parameters from the printer control panel:

Configuring Novell NetWare Frame Type Parameters
