Introduction

Restoring an HP Jetdirect print server to factory defaults (known as a cold reset) will erase all previous configurations and may require network administrative knowledge, permissions, and access to reconfigure it. A cold reset also allows the HP Jetdirect to broadcast DHCP and BootP packets, which will allow it to be configured by a DHCP or BootP server.

It is also a useful troubleshooting step in the following cases:

O

The HP Jetdirect needs to be reconfigured from a previous network configuration or from an inadvertently incorrect configuration.

O

The HP Jetdirect is in an error state that cannot be resolved by any other means.

O

To clear passwords, old IP addresses, or old NetWare configurations.

O

To help discover the HP Jetdirect with HP software such as the Install Network Printer

Wizard.

Printing the Configuration page will provide useful information, including the current Transmission

Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) address, any Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced

Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX) or Novell configuration information, a network statistics section showing the amount and types of packets the HP Jetdirect is sending and receiving, and either ready or error messages that indicate network communication status.

When it is unable to obtain an IP address automatically from the network, a Jetdirect print server will typically assume a default IP address of 192.0.0.192 or 169.254.xxx.xxx (depending on the Jetdirect product model and its firmware revision). The TCP/IP status on the Configuration page should be

Ready, and IPX/SPX status should be Not Configured, although it may be Ready on some

Jetdirect models.

General Cold Reset steps

´

Many HP printers with internal HP Jetdirect print servers can be reset to factory defaults (or cold-reset) by turning the printer off and holding down the ONLINE or GO buttons while turning the printer back on. The printer control panel display should read

Cold Reset

or Restoring Factory Settings. If the printer has no display, the indicator lights will cycle.

´

Many HP Designjet plotters cannot cold reset an HP Jetdirect. However, if another printer is available, the HP Jetdirect can be put into any of the HP LaserJet 4 family of printers to be reset. Also, HP Jetadmin can be used to reset the IPX/SPX settings or

Telnet can be used to reset the TCP/IP settings. Many Designjet (e.g., 1050c,

1055cm, 500, and 800 series) printers have a reset option in the menus of the control panel. See the table below.

´

To cold reset an HP Jetdirect external print server, unplug the power cord from the HP

Jetdirect print server, then hold down the TEST button (on top of or in back of the HP

Jetdirect) for five to 30 seconds while plugging in the power cord. If necessary, click here to download manuals for current external print servers or refer to the manual that came with the print server.

´

If the HP Jetdirect print server is installed in an HP LaserJet II, IID, III, or IIID series printer, turn off the printer, then turn it on while pressing the STATUS button on the HP

Jetdirect print server for five to 30 seconds. This will reset the Locally Administered

Address on Token Ring XIO cards.

NOTE: The HP LaserJet IIISi cannot cold reset a C2059 series HP Jetdirect.

The HP Jetdirect must be reset in an HP LaserJet 4 family printer.

Cold Reset Steps for Printers with HP Jetdirect External Print Servers

To cold reset any HP JetDirect external print server:

1.

Unplug the power cord from the HP JetDirect print server,

2.

Hold down the TEST button (either on top of or on the back of the HP JetDirect.)

3.

Continue to hold down the test button while you reconnect the power cord.

4.

Wait at least ten (10) seconds before releasing the test button.

5.

Wait another full minute before printing the test page, as the JetDirect will need to initialize.

If necessary, click here to download manuals for current external print servers or refer to the manual that came with the print server.

Printing a Configuration page

A Configuration page will have useful information on it, including the current TCP/IP address, any

IPX/SPX or Novell configuration information, a network statistics section showing the amount and types of packets the HP Jetdirect is sending and receiving, and either ready or error messages that indicate network communication status.

For printers with internal jetdirect print servers, there are at least two styles of printer control panels

- "Classic" and "Flex". Classic control panels typically have Menu and Item buttons; Flex control panels have a check mark button and arrow buttons and/or a numeric keypad.
