HP T2500 manual Add the printer to your network system, Troubleshooting

Add the printer to your network system

When the printer is configured for proper operation on your network, you can then add the printer on each computer that will send print jobs directly to it. To add the printer to your system configuration, you must use network printer installation software for your system. You are recommended to use the HP Start-Up Kit DVD that came with your printer.

Client-server printing

After you have set up the printer, you will need to set up your network clients to access it. The procedures depend on the available utilities for your particular clients and network operating system.

For more information, refer to the documentation and help supplied with your operating system.

UNIX or Linux systems

The printer supports operation with UNIX or Linux systems over a network. Use your system utilities to install the printer. For more help, visit http://www.hp.com/support/net_printing.

Troubleshooting

IO Configuration page

The IO Configuration page provides comprehensive print server status. It is an important diagnostic tool, especially if network communications are not available. For a description of messages that may appear on the IO Configuration page, see the HP Jetdirect Print Servers Administrator’s Guide for your print server model.

LEDs

The printer has status lights (LEDs) that indicate the link status and network activity.

●When the green light is on, the printer has successfully linked to the network.

●When the yellow light is blinking, there is network transmission activity.

Link troubleshooting

If the printer does not successfully connect to the network:

●Both LEDs will be off.

●LAN Error - Loss of Carrier will be indicated on the IO Configuration page. If a link failure is indicated, try the following:

●Check cable connections.

●Manually configure the link setting to match the port configuration of the network hub or switch. For manual configuration methods, see Link configuration methods on page 38. Turn the printer off, then on again, to re-initialize the setting.

●Print an IO Configuration page and check link settings.
