Web Browser/HTTP Problem

Web Browser/HTTP Problem

In some cases you may not be able to browse the printer web page simply because the NIC HTTP may be turned off.

If you cannot ping the NIC IP address, make sure the IP Address, subnet mask, and default gateway are set correctly by checking the Ethernet Parameters menu from the operator panel. See Chapter 4 for configuration menu information.

If you can ping the NIC IP address but cannot access the web pages, perform the following procedure to verify the NIC HTTP is turned on.

1.Telnet into the Print Server and log in as root with no password.

2.At the system prompt enter the following commands: config http on

save reset

3.After approximately 30 seconds, point your browser to the Print Server IP address. The printer web pages should now be accessible.

If you are still experiencing difficulty accessing or browsing the printer, contact technical support.

Windows NT 4.0 or 2000 Host Setup Problems

The installation procedure covered earlier in this chapter assumes that the NIC adapter is configured with the correct IP address, subnet mask and gateway (if required), and that the administrator can ping and telnet to the NIC adapter from the server console. If this is not the case, use the printer front panel to configure the NIC adapter before proceeding.
