HP LaserJet P1606dn IP Configuration Issue

I have an HP LaserJet P1606dn, brand new and fresh out of the box. I have already set it up to print via USB from a test laptop, and 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 (Windows XP, with a Broadcom 570x Gigabit network card) 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 cannot ping 0.0.0.0 - I get an error of "Destination specified is invalid." I have attempted to connect to 0.0.0.0 both through a switch connected to a desktop and through a crossover cable connected directly to my laptop, both with no success. With the crossover cable, the network lights on the printer are green and orange (normal communication), but the lights on my laptop are dark orange (bad connection) and blinking orange (for communication). With the switch connection, the network lights on the laptop are green and orange, and the desktop can communicate to other devices on the network. There is no antivirus or other software installed on the laptop that would interfere with network connections.
Any guidance you can provide to connect to 0.0.0.0 through a web browser, or change the printer IP address completely, is appreciated.

There is no way to connect to that IP. That IP means that the printer just isn't connected to any network. Do you have the Ethernet cable connected to the printer? If it is connected, do you have the DHCP enabled in your router?

How to configure HP Laserjet P1606dn on Network

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,

Laserjet P1606dn network setup

Hi everyone,
I have an issue with setting up a new LaserJet P1606dn on our network. The installation software that comes with the printer assumes the environment uses a DHCP server to obtain an initial IP address and then you can assess the printer via the web interface and modify it. My issue, we don't have DHCP on our network and I need to set up an IP on this printer. My question, is there any other utility that can be used to find the printer and then configure the printer with a static IP.
Thanks in advanced for the assistance,
Steven

Nevermind. I figured out an alternate way to access the printer. It appears to have assigned the printer a 169.254.x.x IP in which I modified my workstation to the same subnet and then accessed the printers web interface to set up the networking to the correct IP subnet.

Problem Installing a LaserJet P1606dn on a printer server using the HP UPD

I'm trying to setup a LaserJet P1606dn printer as a local printer on a 64bit Server 2003 print server. I'd like to use the HP Universal Print Driver as the printer driver for Citrix compatibility (per the HP whitepaper entitled "HP printers supported in Citrix XenApp server environments"). I successfully downloaded, extracted and installed the latest HP UPD PCL5 driver on the print server without issue. I then successfully added the P1606dn as a new local printer (using a new Standard TCP/IP port directed to the IP address of the printer) and configured it to use the UPD PCL5 driver. Everything appears ok with the setup, but when I try to print a test page, nothing prints out.
I've confirmed that I've configured the TCP/IP port with the correct address and that the printer is connected to the network and pingable from the print server. I also tried using the HP UPD PCL6 driver with the same result.
Thanks.

Hi @yamIT ,
I read your post and see that you need a driver for 64 bit Server 2003. I would be happy to help you.
There is a 64 bit listed under the Basic Drivers.

HP LaserJet P1606dn loses their IP address in DHCP mode

Hi,
We are currently encountering what seems to us to be a strange behavior with the HP LaserJet P1606dn printer. The behavior is that, while in DHCP mode, when it goes into sleep mode, it loses its IP address.
It shouldn't be bad because it should wake up when something is sent to it and get back its IP address, but it doesn't. It get stuck in the printing queue and we need to do an "ipconfig/ flushdns" on the appropriate server so it get back its address. This is kinda annoying because we can't even desactivate this sleep mode function, the best we can do is put it to 1 hour which is temporary because it still gonna loses its IP address anyway.
I have searched all over the net for an answer to our problem and the closest one I have find is one on HP forum where the P1606dn loses its IP address in manual mode and switch to DHCP. Even though it wasn't our exact problem, the recommanded solution was to update the 1606dn firmware, which we did. It sadly hasn't solve our problem. At least, we aren't forced to do a flushdns everytime this time and we can force it to print by printing the configuration page...
An other thing we have found is that, it always or well, very often create a second entry in the inversed zone of the dns with an IP adress it won't even use... It is probably important to note that when the printers loses its ip address, the information of the ipv4, the dns and the rest of the address are all 0.0.0.0.
It seems to me that when the printers enters in sleep mode, it loses its ip address so it can save energy, which would be a good thing, but then, it cannot get back its ip address and well, its like the printers says to himself "well, I am lost and I don't know where I am neither at which address I live but hey, it's ok, everything is just fine."
Our configuration :
Windows 7 professional 64 bit on users end
Windows server 2008 r2 enterprise
The printer is connected in LAN
Anyone has stumbled accross a problem like this before with this model?
Thank you

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
   This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
   first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here.
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
   printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
   Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
4. If needed and you assigned a static IP address, try using 8.8.8.8 for the Manual DNS server and
     8.8.4.4 preferred DNS server.
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
5. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
6. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
7. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
8. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
   system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
9. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
   they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
10. SSID broadcast must be enabled.
11. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins. Power on router wait 2 mins.
12. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.
Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?
Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings.
Under Home or Work (current profile) / Network Discovery.
Select "Turn on network discovery" and save changes.

Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

Hello,
I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
Then I follow this steps.
1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
4.- Choose network printer
5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13) I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
So, in select device type, I select "Standard" and "Generic Network Card" and click on Next
8.- Install printer driver -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
Many Thanks
Robert

Hi lespaul80,
1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
and check under network setup if subnet mask and def. gateway setup
also if you have DNS setup check it too
check if you have SNMP options - desable it
on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
Hope it help you

HP Laserjet P1606dn and Windows Server 2012

We have 3 HP Laserjet P1606dn printers that we need to install on a Windows Server 2012. Unfortunately, there is no drive available for Windows Server 2012. Will HP be releasing an updated driver for this printer? If not, are there any workarounds? Thanks for any assistance.

Hi ks267,
I don't know if or when there would be an updated driver to work with Windows Server 2012, but I can offer you a link to subscribe to notifications for driver updates. Subscribe to HP alerts and updates.
The only workaround I can think of is to install the software on each computer rather than installing it on the server. Although if you have 20+ computers that would not be ideal I am sure Please bear in mind, my technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I have no training on servers.
Maybe your request for a workaround will be answered by another community member who knows more about them.

HP Laserjet 1010 paper jam issue

I know this is not specifically an Apple problem, but I have spent days searching for a solution elsewhere with no luck, so I was wondering if anyone here could help?
My HP LaserJet 1010 had some issues with printed pages not coming right through - they jammed right at the last minute when most of the page was out.
After carefully removing the sheet, the paper jam light is constantly flashing, despite there being no paper in sight. No amount of resetting, cleaning etc has any effect. Neither do the rollers move any more when it is switched on, as they are supposed to.
When I try to print, the driver program gives the error:
"Printer Error: The printer needs attention"
Any ideas for how to solve this would be much appreciated.

Chances are the printer has a small bit of paper that is still jammed in it. When paper jams always try to pull in the direction of the paper path! If it tears then remove the toner cartridge to see if you can see any bits of paper inside. I have the Laserjet 1012 which is a similar design, early in it's life I had a similar issue, after removing the toner cartridge and seeing all bits of paper were gone I still got an error. I then removed the top cover of the printer, located and removed the offending piece of paper, put it back together and now several thousands of pages later all is fine.
If that doesn't work then contact HP's support (they will reply to an email with 24 hours) or go the chat route. If you try to call because you are well out of warranty there will be charge.

Using a mac 10.6.8 to print duplex to HP laserjet P1606dn, order of paper comes out mixed up

using a mac 10.6.8 to print duplex to HP laserjet P1606dn, order of paper comes out mixed up as follows: the first page out is page 2, with 1 on reverse side, next page is page 4, with 3 on reverse side., etc. This requires that I re-collate every paper I print. Have tried a few things in set up and re-installing the printer, but still not fixed.

I am having the same problem. Nice to see that HP has not responded.

Configuration Issue in User Mapping ..

Hi,
Pls help resolve this issue..
When i go to " UserMapping " option using the "Personalize " link , i get the following error msg..
"There is a configuration issue which leads to problem when accessing user mapping data for the selected backend system"
Also , if i go thru "User Administration -> User Mapping "
then it says,
--"There is a configuration issue which leads to problem when accessing user mapping data for the selected backend system .
Usually reason is user mapping being configured for Strong encryption, but necessary additional files might be missing.Check Security log file for information "--
I am not able to solve this problem..Pls help
Thanks in advance

Hi Venkat,
Here the quick and dirty solution:
In your portal go to 'System Administration' -> 'System Configuration' -> 'UM Configuration' -> 'Direct Editing'.
There locate the parameter 'ume.usermapping.unsecure', set it to 'TRUE' and restart your server.
I would rather recommend to install the unlimited strength jurisdiction policy files.
For more info on this, check this thread:
JCE Jurisdiction does not allow Portal to start
Hope this helps,

Configuration issue of syslog.conf

Dear All,
My client is facing a configuration issue of syslog.conf.
They have set a cacti on a Linux server for monitoring of all servers snmp & syslog.
The part of snmp has set up successfully but cannot send the syslog to the cacti.
My client want the syslog can keep on the localhost and send to cacti for monitoring
we have tried to do the following things for make it work:
Insert the information (*.* @10.251.99.74) in /etc/syslog.conf
Restart service of system-log
Deleted all word of loghost in the /etc/hosts file
But still not work. Anyone can give me suggestion or idea about this?

Thank you for your reply.
It is tab. But I think the problem is solaris cannot use *.* to represent all logs.
I have used the following is work
*.err;ker.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit @10.251.99.74
If that is not the mail reason, please put me right.

Anti-relay filter configuration issues

Configuration issues with the anti-relay filter in Messaging Server 4.1x.
The following information addresses common questions about configuration issues
with the anti-relay filter in Messaging Server 4.1x: 

<OL>
<LI>Question: 
What is the difference between the delivery
and submission
options? 

Answer: 
The submission option
allows specified users to send email to any email address in the world.
These users are typically internal users.

The delivery option
allows specified users to receive email from anybody. These users
are also typically internal users.

A standard filter will appear something as follows: 

# This is the anti-relay config file written by Jay at iPlanet
# The first section sets default conditions
resolvehostnames:0
useauthinfo:0
advertiseauthinfo:1
# This section sets domains to be delivered to by anybody
delivery:*@my.domain.com
# This section sets domains that can send any place
submission:129.12.4.*


<LI>Question: 
The delivery
option works properly. However, why doesn't the
submission option
appear to be allowing emails from specified users to pass through?

Answer: 
The problem with the submission behavior could be due to the setting of the
the resolvehostnames
parameter. If this parameter is turned on
(resolvehostnames:1),
then all entries in this configuration file must be fully qualified
host names. Although wildcards will work, you cannot specify IP
addresses with this configuration setting.


<LI>Question: 
Is it possible to allow people outside of my network to connect to the server
and send mail out?

Answer: 
Yes. To allow outside users to connect to the server and send mail
to any address, without granting the same privilege to the rest of the world,
activate the authenticated SMTP portion of the filter via the
useauthinfo option.
Setting this parameter to "1" (i.e., useauthinfo:1
) will require a user who is not in a
submission address and who is attempting to send email to an address not in
the delivery range to authenticate with a user ID and password.
</OL>

For additional information on the anti-relay filter, please refer to the
Messaging Server 4.1 Administrator's Guide at 

http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/messaging/nms41/ag/ubefiltr.htm#1073677

Prashant:
Are you using a UBE filter to configure domain-based anti-relayinging? We had better luck with the anti-relay plug-in. There is some info on this (for 4.15) at
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6044-10/ubefiltr.htm#1069973
You have to enable the plug-in using configutil, per the above. The anti-relay plug-in is controlled by antirelay.conf. Be aware that the pattern matching rules are very limited, and not well documented. Fortunately, the source code to the plug-in is included, and you can see what it is doing. To pass the tests we had to add a hard-coded test for a "%" in the source and recompile:
*** antirelay.c.orig Thu Oct 31 04:42:13 2002
--- antirelay.c Thu Oct 31 04:22:07 2002
*** 934,939 ****
--- 934,940 ----
* Weight must be non-zero to begin with so that matches on just "*"
* will work.
+ if( strchr(text,'%') != NULL ) return ABORT;
weight = TRUE;
for ( ; *p; text++, p++) {
if (*text == '\0' && p != '')
Not a really elegant hack, but we didn't need a fully functional regex engine.

Oracle 11g Fusion Middleware (11.1.1.3.0) Report Configuration Issue

Oracle 11g Fusion Middleware (11.1.1.3.0) Report Configuration Issue
=============================================
Hi All,
I have installed Oracle 11g Fusion Middleware (11.1.1.3.0) on Oracle Linux 5 and getting some issues while configuring. What's happening is that when I run my report, it looks for the library attached to it. If I define the REPORTS_PATH in reports.sh, it works fine.
What I want to achieve is to push reports to use REPORTS_PATH environment variable from rwserver.conf instead of reports.sh
Someone told me to remove the REPORTS_PATH from reports.sh and add the REPORTS_PATH from reports.sh to a default.env in rwserver.conf, but it didn't worked.
What I know about the report server stuff in 11g Fusion Middleware is that it consists of two different servers (Standalone and In Process). Our application runs report using SRW.RUN_REPORT which basically use In Process report server setting in rwserver.conf to run the report.
The heirarchy in which reports try to look for the REPORTS_PATH is
1) REPORTS.sh
2) rwserver.conf
3) Settings as per Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Settings.
My standalone report server name is ReportsServer_hostname_asinst_F and the In Process Server name is rep_wls_reports_hostname_asinst_frd. When I define rep_wls_reports_hostname_asinst_frd (In process Report Server Name) for the server name parameter, I do not get any results for the report run using srw.run_report. Also I can't see the reason behind the report executed because of the following issue
http://hostname:8888/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=rep_wls_reports_hostname_asinst_frd
REP-51019: System user authentication is missing.
** the Singlesignon in rwservlet.properties is defined as no
But when I define ReportsServer_hostname_asinst_F (Standalone Report Server Name) as server parameter and ran the report using srw.run_report, I get result with the REPORTS_PATH defined in reports.sh not using rwserver.conf file.
http://hostname:8888/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=ReportsServer_hostname_asinst_F
(which shows the report just run).
Can someone who did Report Server configuration using ENV files (changing rwserver.conf), pls. send me the screenshots. Want to make sure if I am changing the correct files under correct location.
Pls. feel free to ask me questions related to the environment set up.
Thanks
