How to configure HP Laserjet P1606dn on Network

[Manas_Ranjan]

Hi,

     I have an HP LaserJet P1606dn, brand new and fresh out of the box.now  I am trying to configure it for network printing.

My challenge is that the default IP address (according to the Self Test/Device Configuration page) is 0.0.0.0. Internet Explorer does not recognize that as a valid address, and I cannot change the settings on my computer  to get onto a 0.0.0 subnet. This means that I cannot get to the webpage on the embedded web server to change the IP address to something suitable for the network.

                                   I can't understand how i will configure this printer in network.Please provide procedure of configuring this printer in network ASAP.

Hi,

The printer dhould obtain an IP once you connect an ethernet cable, such an IP means that the printer is disconnected from your network.

Try replugging the ethernet cable into the back of the printer, then to the LAN port of your router, allow it 30-60 seconds and check again.

If the same persists, try swithint the cable into another port of your router and check for any difference.

If the same persists, try using another ethernet cable and check for any difference.

Finally, if any of those provide such an 0.0.0.0 IP address, try pluggin a direct cable between the printer and the PC and check of there is a difference then, that in order to understand if the issue remain within the router or the ethernet cord of the printer itself..

Please let me know of any change, as well as the results,
