| Oops.... no parallel port.
| Just ordered a Jet Direct 600N.
| The "Print Server" thing has me a little intimidated.
| You just shove it into one of the HP 5000's bays it magically

Hi Pete:
The 600N is a module that plugs into a slot on the back of the printer. If the slot is
not already open, just remove the two screws.
Power down the printer and plug in the HP JetDirect card the power up the printer.
There are a couple of ways to confgure the IP address...
1. On the front of the printer is a LCD display for the Control Panel. Using the keys
go through the menu and go to the I/O menu until you can find the TCP/IP sub-menu. Using
the keys setup the IP Address, SubNet Mask and GateWay
Example:
IP Address: 192.168.1.55
NetMask: 255.255.255.0
GateWay: 192.169.1.1
2. Go through step #1 but set up the device for DHCP to get an address from a DHCP
server (such as from a SOHO Router).
2a. Get the IP address lease from the DHCP Server (example: 192.168.1.11)
2b. Use telnet to telnet to the IP address and set the IP address from DHCP to
Manual. (example: telnet 192.168.1.11)

Typing "quit" (no quotes) quits the telnet session
Type '"/" shows the settings
Type "?" to show the the settings to be made.
Type "exit" to save changes and quit telnet session
Example:
IP: 192.168.11 <enter>
subnet-mask: 255.255.255.0 <enter>
default-gw: 192.168.1.1 <enter>
exit <enter>
will set the IP address to 192.168.1.11, the mask to 255.255.255.0 and the gateway to
192.168.1.1
Once you set the IP address you can then use http to configure the print server such as;
http://192.168.1.11
Once done just setup the Windows PCs to print to the IP address.
NOTE: I do suggest using a static IP address on the print server.
