Verifying Network Configuration

To verify your current network configuration, print a Jetdirect configuration page. If you have not printed a configuration page from your printer, see your printer documentation for instructions (see Chapter 9 for more information). If your printer has a control panel, make sure a READY message appears on the control panel for at least 1 minute, then print the page. The current configuration is listed under “AppleTalk” on the configuration page.

Note

If you have multiple printers on your network, you

 

need to print a configuration page to identify the

 

printer’s name and zone.

 

 

Renaming the Printer

The factory supplies a default name for your printer.

Hewlett-Packard highly recommends that you rename your printer to avoid having multiple printers with similar names on your network.

CAUTION

After you have renamed the printer and have set up print queues to that printer, use caution when changing the printer name again. If you rename the printer again, the queues for that printer will no longer function.

Note

The name may be up to 32 characters in length. A warning beep indicates that an illegal character was typed. For illegal characters, see the Help system integrated with the software.

You can name your printer anything you like—for example, “Michael’s LaserJet 4000.” The HP LaserJet Utility has the ability to rename devices located in different zones, as well as the local zone (no zones need to be present in order to use the HP LaserJet Utility).
