HP LASERJET 3055 Manual IP Address not saving

We have three HP LaserJet 3055 all in one printer which we thought as good all in one printer. However, recently one of system failed to accept Network Printing and when I have checked I found that the Manual IP address given to the printer lost. The printer control panel shows IP address as 000.000.000.000
I tried several time to set the IP address 192.168.1.11 and even printer menu shows "setting saved" but within next minute if I check the IP, it shows the same 000.000.000.000 IP address.
(Menu > Network Configuration > TCP/IP > IP = 192.168.1.11 > Yes > Settings Saved)

The Report for Network Configuration shows Following two important symptoms:
A) Status = Initializing
and
B) IP address = Configuring

Show to HP engineer, they told that main board is required to be replaced and the cost they told was almost 40% of the new HP 3055.

Now the same problem observed with the second HP 3055 and again same symptoms. It does not save IP address even the control panel confirms "Settings Saved"

Any idea, is it related to any firm ware problem or actually a printer's main board problem ?


Thanks in advance.

    I have exactly the same problem as described here. For over a year, the
    printer worked flawlessly over the network. Now it has this behavior as
    described above.

    I do not think it is the (only the) network card: From the time the printer is first turned on, for approximately 15-25 seconds, the lights on my network switch indicate a fully normal connection. Then, at some point during the start-up routine, it appears the network connection is configured by the printer, and the connection drops to half-duplex. A printout of a 'network report' confirms this is the case, and, no matter what is done, the printer will not accept (store) IP settings. This makes me think the problem lies with whatever onboard memory the printer makes use of to store configuration settings, especially since they don't seem to be saving correctly.

    I'll just note that doing a "Restore Default Settings", or "Reset TCP-IP" does not seem to re-initialize the default factory settings for the network.

Try Pressing the "*" Button and the Number "5" at the same time while the printer starts up. This will initialize the NV RAM of the printer, which stores the printer settings.

This could remove any defragmented data from the NON Volatile RAM of the printer and hence resolve the IP drop issue.

HP laserJet 3055 network connection

HOW TO CONNECT HP 3055 TO ROUTER/WIRELESS NETWORK. WINDOWS XP/WINDOWS VISTA.

I have just finished successfully connecting my HP 3055 to my router and using it over wireless on 2 computers, one with windows XP SP2 and one with VISTA.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING HP 3055 ON XP:

FIRST CONNECT THE PRINTER TO THE ROUTER WITH A ETHERNET CABLE. FIND OUT THE IP ADDRESS OF YOUR PRINTER. By me it was 192.168.0.66

Go to CONTROL PANEL and open "PRINTERS AND FAXES". on the top left choose "ADD A PRINTER" click "NEXT".

In the "LOCAL OR NETWORK PRINTER" window, choose "LOCAL PRINTER ATTACHED TO THIS COMPUTER" and uncheck "AUTOMATICALLY DETECT"... click "NEXT".

In the "SELECT A PRINTER PORT" window click the radio button "CREATE A NEW PORT", click the down arrow and choose "STANDARD TCP/IP PORT".

In the window that pops up click "NEXT"

In the ADD PORT window, where it says "PRINTER NAME OR IP ADDRESS, type in your printers IP address, by me it was 192.168.0.66. The bottom line will fill in automatically. Click "NEXT".

In the "INSTALL PRINTER SOFTWARE" window, if you have the disk just choose "HAVE DISK" and install from there. If not, in the left column choose "HP" and in the right column choose "HP LASERJET 3050" (by me it showed up in the list, you can download the driver from here http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=1140780&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=1161389&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=228

click "NEXT"

In the "NAME YOUR PRINTER" window, choose a name and also choose if you want to set it as the default printer (recommended) Click "NEXT"

In the next window choose whether or not you want to share the printer, and if you do assign a printer name. Click NEXT. The next window is optional if you want to make a name, you can just click NEXT and your done! Print a test page to make sure that all is fine.
