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.

  • 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,

  • 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

  • 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 ,

  • 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.

  • 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.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    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?

    @Mojo-Risin 
    If I understand your question, you would like to use the AiO remote app on your iPad with your Laserjet 4050, correct? If this is case, unfortunately, the AiO remote app is not supported with the Laserjet 4050 and the iPad.

  • New Airport Extreme N wireless network setup questions (WDS, D-Link)

    I have finally been able to set up my Airport Extreme N network after numerous attempts over the last few weeks. I was getting a very weak signal in front of the house where my wife's G4 is connected wireless to an old Airport card and where all the systems (XBOX 360; Wii and PS3) are also wirelessly hitting the network.
    The current configuration is as follows: In the office in the back of the house I have an Airport Extreme N basestation connected to the cable modem and have three workstations (One Mac and two PCs) wired to it. I set up a WDS network, so I set up the Airport Expresses as remotes. In the living room I have another Airport Extreme N basestation (as a remote as well) that is hooking up to the XBOX 360, Wii and PS3. I have enabled WEP security (not effecting the XBOX 360 since it is now "wired"). Here is the weird thing - I have a PC laptop with a D-Link Xtreme N card ( DWA-652) that cannot connect to the network. I enter the WEP password but it does not connect. Am I missing something on the basestation setup? Do I need to add the MAC address of the card anywhere. When I use the laptop's built in wireless it connects with no problem. By creating a WDS network did I disable the n functionality of the base station(s)? I am a lttle condused.
    Also, prior to going to an all Apple wireless network setup, I bought the D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655). I was regretfully about to return it to Best Buy but I had an idea which may or may not work. I know that the D-Link does not support WDS but if I was to set it up as the main router and added the "main" Airport basestation as a wired bridge could I maintain the WDS network? The reason I ask this is because I would love to keep the gigabit for the wired machines in the office. Also, I am wondering if the D-Link notebook card is incompatible with the Airport network.
    All I know is that I have spent alot of money and sleepless nights just trying to set this network up but thankfully Best Buy has a thirty day return policy so I will return what I can't use.
    I appreciate any help and advice anyone can give me.
    Thanks.

    Hello!
    I have noticed that some manufacturers (Linksys and possibly D-LINK) only accept upper-case WEP keys only.
    This drove me nuts when trying to integrate a Linksys PC PCMCIA card into my old "g" network.
    As far as using WEP, it's bad and broken; but I understand that your choice of security is limited to the devices that you are trying to network.
    For what it's worth, I have my network set up with the AEBS 'n' connected to my Cable Modem, with one of the ports going to a gigabit switch for my wired network. I then have two AirTunes set up as WDS extensions for music & Internet delivery to two separate areas. The AEBS 'n" serves up DHCP and routing for the entire network.
    It works quite well; I get 54 mbits/sec for the two WDS AirTunes, and 145 mbits/sec to one of my ATV's. My gigabit wired machines see data rates of 15-27 MBytes/sec (depending on the type of transfer).
    Good luck!

  • LaserJet 2550n network printer on XP host PC, can't install Windows 7 client laptop

    Have Color LaserJet 2550n network printer connected to XP host PC. I can't install  Windows 7 client laptop for printer. The wireless network is fine, I can access documents back and forth, merely the printer doesn't work and there's no way to download 64bit drivers for this printer from HP. 

    Resolved, not solved. 
    I talked to HP product support. The Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will not install on Windows XP (at least the Home Edition) when networked through a router. It will install through USB. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it with only USB connected to clean out all the network printer/scanner information. Product support claimed it would install through an ether net cable connected between the printer and computer but this does little good if you need internet access.

  • 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.
