Enabling or Disabling DHCP
If you do not want your HP JetDirect print server configured via
DHCP, you must disable DHCP configuration. There are three
methods for enabling or disabling DHCP:
1. If you use the printer control panel to disable BOOTP on the HP
JetDirect print server, then DHCP is disabled.
2. You can use Telnet to enable or disable DHCP operation on the
HP JetDirect print server. When you disable a DHCP
configuration via Telnet, the print server automatically releases
any names and IP addresses associated with the DHCP server
and re-initializes the TCP/IP protocol for the print server. At
this point, the print server is unconfigured and begins to send
BOOTP and RARP requests to acquire new (non-DHCP)
configuration information.
