Ok, I've been at this for HOURS!! How the heck do I assign a static IP to this printer? Every time I try it just locks up and refuses to do anything until I reset the config method back to BOOTP. We use this at work, we need it to use a static IP! I tried contacting support already, they were completely unwilling to help at all! I'm kind of loosing patience here and I need to go home soon.
Just FYI, we only recently purchased these! I've also had very similar issues with the other ones we purchased but I was eventually able to get it to work.
Solved! Go to Solution.

*facepalm* Ok, now I feel dumb lol. I ended up contacting our network guy only to find out I was plugged into the wrong port on the router.

Access printers EWS and under network settings set it to IP Manual or Static

I've tried that but it just stops working. I noticed today however that if I just change the very last set of digits it works fine but if I try to set the IP to the one I need it locks up again (same thing happens if I just change the second to the last set of digits). Unfortunately the address I need it to use has a different host part (last two sections of the IP address). Usually this isn't a problem, I've been able to do this with plenty of printers in the past. It's just this one that refuses to accept the new host part. I had similar issues with two other HP printers but either the issue resolved itself eventually or a factory reset worked but this printer just stays unresponsive until I manually reset it back to BOOTP from the printers controls.
