7 I keep getting prompted
for a password when I
use a web browser to
access the PSA even
though the PSA is a
member of a domain.
Whether you get prompted for a password and what the password
prompt looks like are a function of your web browser and its
configuration. If the PSA is a member of a domain, it will always ask your
browser to use your existing Windows Domain authentication. Microsoft's
Internet Explorer uses a concept of security zones to determine whether
the web server (in this case, the PSA) is within the "Intranet Zone".
There are a number of ways to include the PSA in the "Intranet Zone",
but the easiest is to open:
Tools--> Internet Options-->Connections-->LAN Settings-->Advanced
and type the full name, the IP address, and the short name in the
"Exceptions" box. This will cause Microsoft's Internet Explorer to connect
directly with the PSA and avoid your proxy server. By default, Internet
Explorer considers direct connections in the "Intranet Zone". Consult
your Microsoft Internet Explorer documentation to determine other ways
to include the PSA in the "Intranet Zone". If you are using proxy servers
in your environment and you want to use the single sign-on functionality,
your web browser will need to be set up to bypass the proxy server for
the PSA's host name (if it includes periods) and IP address. An
administrator can view or change their local Intranet settings in the
Internet Options page under the Security tab by selecting Local Intranet
and clicking on the Sites button.
Note: The single sign-on feature of the PSA only works with Microsoft's
Internet Explorer.
8 I want to use a hyphen
in the beginning of some
of my PSA names, so
that they will print first in
a list of PSAs.
The PSA name (entered on the Microsoft Networking Settings page) can
contain up to 15 alphanumeric characters. It may also contain dashes
( - ) and underscores (_). (The hostname cannot begin with a hyphen
(-), but it can have a hyphen within the name. The hyphen cannot be the
first character because the PSA name is is also used for the DNS name
generation, and the hyphen character is not allowed as the first character
in a DNS name.)
9 I have a Windows 2000
environment and I am
trying to integrate my
PSAs into it.
The PSA can use a Windows 2000 system for authorization and
participate in a Windows 2000 domain in much the same manner as an
NT 4.0 server can. The Windows 2000 system must be configured to
support NTLM V1, which is a version of the authorization protocol used
by Windows system.
10 I have a non-HP print
server I am trying to use
with my PSA. Will this
work?
Yes, if the printer supports LPD. You may have to know the proper LPD
remote queue name for the print server. Many print servers will work
without specifying a remote queue name (use the default HP PRINT
SERVER setting); however, some require a special string in order to
work. The LPD remote queue name can be obtained from the print server
vendor.
11 I am trying to configure
the PSA using TELNET.
Will this work?
No. You can assign IP addresses via DHCP, the front panel, and a web
browser. After an IP address is assigned, you must use a web browser to
finish configuring the PSA.
12 The Network
Neighborhood browser
has not yet updated.
Try accessing the PSA by selecting Start from the task bar, and select
Find and Computer.
