I have an HP Laserjet 4000 with HP Jetdiret 600N Internal Print Server. I want to connect this to my DLink Router for a network printer. How do I do this?
It has been a few months, so you probably have resolved this -- but just in case someone else is looking to find out the IP address on the internal print server of an HP Laserjet 4000n printer so they can set it up on their network, here are the steps to find the IP address on the HP JetDirect internal print server:
1. Have the Ethernet cable plugged in to the router and the JetDirect 600n card and power it on.
2. Make sure display screen on printer says "Ready".
3. Press the Menu button on the printer until you see Information Menu.
4, Press the Item button on the right (+) side until you see Print Configuration page.
5. Press the Select button and a configuration page should print.
One page is the printer's configuration and the other page is the print server configuration page. If you have a good JetDirect card, and good connection to your router, the IP address of the printer, plus its subnet mask and default gateway should be shown on the EIO configuration page.
If the printer has been manually set with a static IP address, subnet mask and default gateway that will not work on your network, you will see the settings will indicate "Configured by" User Specified.
To clear those settings and allow DHCP setting, perform a cold reset on the JetDirect card, by powering off the printer, holding down the green "Go" button and powering it back on until you see "COLD RESET," let go of the green Go button, wait a couple of minutes, then run another configuration page to see the freshly assigned DHCP address of the print server.
Hope this helps someone.

beeveez,
For the First part, how does one identify the printer is in thr range with the LAN IP?
Beeveez,
The router is a D-Link Di-624. It does not have a config page. It only shows the IP address of itself, but none of the attached devices (printer,Linksys Phone adapter, my computer). Are you aware of any ways to find the IP Address of attached devices/
Thanks ..
