    Introducing the HP Jetdirect print server HP Jetdirect print servers connect printers and other devices directly to a network. By attaching a device directly to a network, you can install it in a convenient location and share it with multiple users. In addition, a network connection allows data transfers to or from the device at network speeds.

  • Page 25: Tcp/Ip Configuration

    TCP/IP configuration To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, you must configure the HP Jetdirect print server with valid TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address that is valid for your network. The HP Jetdirect print server supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks simultaneously. Print server configuration for IPv4 operation remains the same as in previous HP Jetdirect products.

  • Page 26: Ipv6 Address Configuration

    However, the use of two colons to represent successive zero fields can be used only once in an address. IPv6 addresses are often specified by a prefix that identifies a fixed value associated with the first part of the address, followed by a prefix length that specifies the number of bits in the prefix. In IPv6 addressing, a prefix length of 64 typically specifies a network or subnet.

  • Page 27: Stateless Addresses

    Stateless addresses Stateless addresses are usually assigned to the print server under router control, and not by a server, such as a DHCPv6 server. However, the router can specify that other configuration be provided by a server. The print server must receive periodic router advertisement messages. These messages contain one or more IPv6 prefix options, and they can specify 64–bit local subnets, or a default route.

  • Page 28: Tools And Utilities

    Tools and utilities System tools and utilities for IPv6 networks are available to access or troubleshoot communications with the print server. The following are some examples: ● ipconfig /all or ipv6 if Identify IPv6 addresses for various interfaces configured on the system. An interface IPv6 address can contain a ScopeID, which is an interface index identifier (for example, %3) that is appended to a link-local IPv6 address.

  • Page 29: Default Ip Address (Ipv4)

    You can configure the print server to use either server-based or manual configuration of TCP/IP settings at any time. To identify the print server's configured IP address, see the HP Jetdirect configuration page. Default IP address (IPv4) When in a factory-default state, the HP Jetdirect print server has no IP address. You can assign a default IP address depending on the network environment.

  • Page 30: Default Ipv4 Address Configuration Options

    Default IP on wireless and wired print servers Wired and wireless print servers can have different default IP configuration results: ● When turned on, a print server in a factory default state that is connected to a network through a cable (wired), retrieves its IP settings by systematically using BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP.

  • Page 31: Tcp/Ip Configuration Tools

    Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address on the print server for initial communication might not function without modification. To view the default IP address settings on the print server, use the HP Jetdirect configuration page. TCP/IP configuration tools When a network connection is established, you can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with valid TCP/IP parameters for your network, using the following methods: ●...

  • Page 32: Use Bootp/Tftp (Ipv4)

    Use BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4) BOOTP and TFTP provide a convenient way to automatically configure the HP Jetdirect print server for TCP/IPv4 network operation. When turned on, the HP Jetdirect print server sends a BOOTP request message onto the network. A properly configured BOOTP server on the network responds with a message that contains basic network configuration data for the HP Jetdirect print server.
  • Page 33 Configure the BOOTP server For the HP Jetdirect print server to obtain its configuration data over the network, the BOOTP/TFTP servers must have the appropriate configuration files. The print server uses BOOTP to obtain entries in the /etc/bootptab file on a BOOTP server. It uses TFTP to obtain additional configuration information from a configuration file on a TFTP server.
  • Page 34 Table 3-1 Tags supported in a BOOTP/DHCP boot file Item RFC 2132 Description Option nodename Peripheral name. Identifies an entry point to a list of parameters for a specific peripheral. Must be the first field in an entry. (In the example, nodename is picasso.) Hardware type.

    FTP printing FTP is a basic TCP/IP utility for transferring data between systems. FTP printing sends print files from a client system to an HP Jetdirect connected printer. In an FTP printing session, the client connects and sends a print file to the HP Jetdirect FTP server, which passes the print file to the printer. You can enable or disable the HP Jetdirect FTP server using a configuration tool, such as Telnet (see TCP/IP configuration on page 15) or the embedded Web server (see...

    supports up to four simultaneous control connections (or FTP sessions). If the number is exceeded, a service not available message is displayed. FTP control connections use TCP port 21. Data connection A data connection is created each time a file is transferred between the client and the FTP server. The client controls the creation of a data connection by issuing the commands that require a data connection (such as FTP ls, dir or put commands).
