TCP/IP configuration tools
Depending on your printer and operating system, the printer can be configured with valid
TCP/IP parameters for your network in the following ways:
● Using Software—You can use your printer installation software on HP Toolbox.
● BOOTP—You can download the data from a network-based server using BOOTP
(Bootstrap Protocol) each time the printer is turned on. The BOOTP daemon, bootpd,
must be running on a BOOTP server that is accessible by the printer.
● DHCP—You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This protocol is
supported in HP-UX, Solaris, Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux, Windows NT/2000/XP,
NetWare and Mac systems. (Refer to your network operating system manuals to verify
that your server operating system supports DHCP.)
NOTE
Linux and UNIX systems: For more information, see the bootpd man page. On HP-UX
systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) may be located in the /etc directory.
Since HP-UX presently does not provide Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) for its
DHCP implementations, HP recommends that you set all printer lease durations to infinite.
This ensures that printer IP addresses remain static until such time as Dynamic Domain
Name Services are provided.
