route add <Jetdirect IP Address> <system IP Address>

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

For example, to create a route from your workstation with IP address 169.254.2.1 to a print server with a default IP address of 192.0.0.192, enter the following:

route add 192.0.0.192 169.254.2.1
