Some Handy Tools
The installer
The network printer installer, known formally as the Install Network
Printer Wizard, provides an easy way to configure your print server with a
network address and install the attached printer on your Windows
computer. The installer resides on the HP Jetdirect CD; in addition, if
your printer works with a Jetdirect 200m or 250m print server, your
printer's CD contains a similar installer that will also handle network
printer installation. We recommend that you use the printer's CD if it is
available, since the installer on that CD already knows where to find the
printer driver that it needs for installation.
To use the installer, insert the CD into the CD drive of your Windows
computer. The CD's setup program should start automatically; if it
doesn't, open the CD in the Windows Explorer and double-click on
SETUP.EXE. Several buttons will appear on the screen; click on the
Install button to start the installation. Follow the instructions on the
screens that appear until you have completed the installation.
The embedded web server
Each Jetdirect 200m or 250m print server contains an embedded web
server. This acts like a small web site that allows you to configure various
parameters of the print server, such as an IP or IPX address. You use your
standard web browser to view and set these parameters.
To use the print server's embedded web server, open your browser and
enter the print server's IP address as the URL. (Most browsers will take a
simple IP address; if yours doesn't, put an http:// before the IP address.)
If you don't know your print server's IP address,
print a configuration
page
-- the IP address will be listed in the TCP/IP section.
The embedded web server's screens should be reasonably self-
explanatory, and a little exploration will probably show you what you
need to know. (For full details on the embedded web server,

All entries show the current values of the print server's parameters, and
you can change those values by entering new ones (if your network
administrator has allowed full access to them). Note that if you change the
print server's IP address, you will lose the connection to the print server.
You can reconnect by pointing your browser at the new IP address.
