Trying to change the Hostname on an HP 400 printer.  Typing in new hostname and choosing apply returns the original default hostname.  Unable to change the hostname source from default to manual.

This was solved by installing the latest printer driver on my laptop and then logging into the printer via its web IP address.   The old driver allows the change but but does not allow the source of the HostName to be changed from default to manual.  Thus, when clicking on accept, the default hostname reapears.  The latest printer driver  "HP Laserjet 400 m401 Pcl 6"   installed on my laptop allows the change to be made.
