I bought a used HP LaserJet 2100TN printer with an HP JetDirect4169J
ethernet device. I cannot get the JetDirect to reset its IP Address so I can
access in our network. I've googled and the only resolve I can find is
possibly adding an IP address to our network with Route Add, then accessing
that IP with browser and change manually.

I can't get the Route Add command to work. I've pasted the printer config as
well as our network IP addresses. Does anyone have experience with Route Add
that can help with the syntax? I'm getting different errors everytime I
change something. Thanks!

route add 10.103.200.173 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.1

This prints out from the printer...

Do you know what the IP address of the JetDirect is? If not, a test page
will tell you. Then you can set your PC/Laptop to a static IP address on
the same subnet, and use a crossover cable from your PC to the JetDirect,
and set it to what ever you want... provided you can HTTP or Telnet into it,
and set it to whatever you want.

===========================
No joy ....

I setup my computer as...
IP Address: 10.103.200.150
Subnet Mask: 255.255.248.0
Default Gateway: 10.103.200.1
DNS Server: 10.103.150.100
WINS Server: 10.103.150.100

I connect from ethernet to the printer. I could see my computer and printer
when I scanned the network. But it would not let me HTTP in or TELNET in.
Results were page not found or network path not there.

Anything else I can try?

thanks!

The way the HP JetDirect cards work with the 2100TN, the printer will
recognize the card and will make available a menu option to administer
the network settings.

If the JetDirect has been disallowed web access, here is how to reset
it to factory defaults, then use a browser to connect to it.

If your workstation is Vista or Win7, I assume you've chosen "work" as
the connection type.

Can you ping 10.103.200.150?

Yes, I found that page as well. No joy. I have WinXP. There's no LCD panel
on the LJ 2100 so I can't get any real feedback. The lights do cycle. The
closest I've been able to get is to set my computer's IP to static and on
the similar network as the JetDirect. I can ping and see the printer, but I
can't open any admin with browser, or Telnet. I get page not found. I've
spent so much time on it, I'll likely buy a new one to end the pain. But I'd
sure like to know how to reset it.

thanks!
