Using Telnet

This subsection describes how to configure the print server using Telnet.

Note

CAUTION

To use Telnet commands with the HP Jetdirect print server, a route must be available from your workstation to the print server. Simplistically, this means that there must be a match between the network identification of your system to that of the HP Jetdirect print server.

On Windows systems, you can use the following route command at a DOS prompt to add a route to the print server:

route add <IP address Jetdirect> <IP address workstation>

where <IP address Jetdirect> is the IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server, and <IP address workstation> is the IP address of the workstation's network card that is attached to the same physical LAN as the print server.

Using Telnet to change dynamically-configured Jetdirect print servers (for example, using BOOTP, RARP, DHCP), may result in a static configuration depending on the parameter being changed.

To set configuration parameters, you must set up a Telnet connection from your system to the HP Jetdirect print server.

1.Type the following at the system prompt: telnet <IP address>

where <IP address> may be the assigned address from BOOTP, RARP, DHCP, the printer control panel, or the default IP address. The default IP address is 192.0.0.192. The

<IP address> is listed on the Jetdirect configuration page.
