Telnet to the printer and use the text menus if you want fast, simple, and clear instead of pointy-clicky ambiguity. > I shut off the printer and restarted it; it showed the same IP address, but

I have some legacy addresses that are in the dhcp assigned range but on fixed laserjet ip. Since it is a Microsoft dhcp server, I also set those specific adr to be excluded from dhcp, but before I did that, IF ping was working, dhcp did not use that adr. I set ip my jetdir card with the web interface, choose manual, entered the ip adr, then a few lines down had to enter or confirm the snmp "password", which would be "public" if another one was not used. This then allowed the changes and saved it. gr | ||||

Some setting may only be available from the control panel of the printer. On my Jetdirect card, there is a setting "Use DHCP" (yes/no). And a setting to set the IP address. Usual Suspect wrote: > JetDirect card J3111A/600N (10baseT, RJ-45).
