Communicating with an optional HP JetDirect
internal print server
If the printer contains an optional HP JetDirect internal print server,
and you cannot communicate with the printer over the network, verify
the operation of the print server. Check the JetDirect configuration
page, which was printed when the steps under To print a
configuration page were performed. If the message
I/O CARD
READY
does not appear on the JetDirect configuration page, see the
troubleshooting section of the
HP JetDirect Print Server Software
Installation Guide.

Check the JetDirect configuration page, which was printed when
the steps under To print a configuration page were performed.
The message
LOSS OF CARRIER ERROR

server failed to link to the network.
If the print server failed to link, verify that all cables are correctly
connected. If all cables are correctly connected and the print server
still fails to link, turn the printer off and then on. After

printer server did not connect, follow the steps below to reconfigure
the print server:

Remove the HP JetDirect 10/100TX print server.

Use jumpers P1, P2, and P3 to manually configure the print
server for either 10 or 100 Mbps (megabits per second) link
speed, and Full- or Half-duplex operation according to the table
