    Configuring the Printer The HP LaserJet Utility allows printer settings such as printer name and preferred zone to be configured from your Mac OS system. Hewlett-Packard recommends that only network administrators use the printer configuration capabilities of this utility. If this printer is to be serviced by a print spooler, set up the printer's name and zone before configuring the spooler to capture the printer.
  • Page 24: Renaming The Printer

    If you have multiple printers on your network, you need to print a configuration page to identify the printer's name and zone. Renaming the Printer The factory supplies a default name for your printer. Hewlett-Packard highly recommends that you rename your printer to avoid having multiple printers with similar names on your network. CAUTION After you have renamed the printer and have set up print queues to that printer, use caution when changing the printer name again.
  • Page 25: Selecting A Zone

    NOTE If you try to name your printer the same name as another printer, an alert dialog box appears directing you to select another name. To select another name, repeat steps 4 and 5. If your printer is on an EtherTalk network, continue with the next section, “Selecting a Zone.”...
  • Page 26 Select the printer name you want to use from the list of printer names in the upper-right area of the Chooser. If the printer's name does not appear in the list, make sure the following tasks have been performed: ● the printer is turned on and is online.
  • Page 27: Tcp/Ip Configuration

    TCP/IP Configuration To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with valid TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address that is valid for your network. HP Jetdirect 635n print server supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks simultaneously. Print server configuration for IPv4 operation remains the same as prior Jetdirect products.
  • Page 28: Ipv6 Address Configuration

    For example, portions of the IPv6 address space that are reserved are illustrated below: ■ 2001:DB8::/32 (reserved for use only as examples in documentation) ■ FE80::/10 (reserved for link-local addresses only) IPv6 addresses do not use subnet masks as in IPv4 formats. Instead, the prefix length may be used to specify an entire network/subnet.
  • Page 29: 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 Router Advertisement messages which are periodically sent by a router.
  • Page 30: Tools And Utilities

    Tools and Utilities Similar to IPv4 environments, system tools and utilities for IPv6 networks are available to access or troubleshoot communications with the print server. However, these tools and utilities may require different command formats depending on your system. Some examples are listed below. ■...
  • Page 31: Default Ip Address (Ipv4)

    The print server may also be configured manually. Manual-based tools include Telnet, a Web browser, the printer control panel, arp and ping commands (when the default IP address is 192.0.0.192), or SNMP-based management software. TCP/IP configuration values assigned manually will be retained when powered off/on. The print server can be reconfigured to use either server-based or manual configuration of TCP/IP settings at any time.
  • Page 32: Default Ipv4 Address Configuration Options

    If a default IP address is assigned, the address will depend on the network to which the print server is connected. The print server senses broadcast packets on the network to determine the appropriate default IP settings: ■ On small private networks that adhere to automated, standards-based IP address assignments, the print server uses a link-local addressing technique to assign a unique IP address.
  • Page 33: Default Ipv4 Behavior

    Default IPv4 Behavior When powered on, a factory-default print server connected to a network through a cable (wired) will systematically use BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP to retrieve its IPv4 settings. Up to two minutes are used. If configuration is not successful, a default IPv4 address will be assigned as described previously.
  • Page 34: Using Bootp/Tftp (Ipv4)

    ■ Embedded Web server. You can browse to the embedded Web server on the HP Jetdirect print server to set configuration parameters. For more information, see HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.31.xx). ■ Printer Control Panel. (For printers that support Jetdirect control panel menus) You can manually enter the configuration data using the printer control panel keys.
  • Page 35: Bootp/Tftp On Unix

    BOOTP/TFTP on UNIX This section describes how to configure the print server using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) services on UNIX servers. BOOTP and TFTP are used to download network configuration data from a server to the HP Jetdirect print server over the network. Systems That Use Network Information Service (NIS) If your system uses NIS, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP service before performing the BOOTP configuration steps.
