Network Printing Basics  
Networks consist of computers connected together to share  
information and resources, such as printers. There are two ways  
to share printers on a network: Client-Server and Peer-to-Peer.  
Peer-to-Peer printing  
Client-Server printing  
Server  
Figure 1.1 Network Printing Configurations  
On a client-servernetwork, client computers send print jobs  
to dedicated server computers that control the use of each  
printer. This printing is typically used in medium to large  
networks where dedicated servers are used to manage printing  
needs of many users. Client-server networks use network  
operating systems (NOSs) such as Novell NetWare, Microsoft  
Windows NT or 2000 Server.  
On a peer-to-peernetwork, dedicated servers are not used.  
Instead, each computer is configured to send print jobs to the  
printer directly. This is more suitable for smaller networks.  
On peer-to-peer networks, users configure their Microsoft  
Windows 95, NT, or 2000 systems to print directly to the  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals SearchIAnntdroDdowuncltoiaodn. 1-3  
     
printer. Note that peer-to-peer printing can be configured on a  
client-server network. For example, a small workgroup might  
use peer-to-peer printing even though it is connected to an  
enterprise-wide client-server network.  
Regardless of the network type (client-server or peer-to-peer),  
your computers and printers must use a common language,  
or network protocolto communicate with each other. The  
most common protocols are IPX (Internet Packet Exchange),  
made popular by Novell NetWare networks, and TCP/IP  
(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), made  
popular by the Internet. The HP Jetdirect 170X supports  
these network protocols, including DLC/LLC, and allows your  
printer to communicate on the network.

Installation Overview  
To install the HP Jetdirect print server hardware, simply  
connect the 170X to the network, then connect your printer,  
plotter, or HP All-In-One peripheral to the 170X using the  
parallel port connector (See chapters 2 and 3.)  
Figure 1.2 Use the HP Jetdirect 170X print server to connect a printer,  
plotter, or HP All-in-One peripheral to your network.  
Configuration for Network Printing  
G If you are on a Novell NetWare (client-server) network, you  
can configure the NetWare server and the print server for  
network printing using HP Jetdirectsoftware. Then configure  
the network clients for printing.  
G If you are setting up client-server printing on a Microsoft  
Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000 network, you configure your  
Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000 server for printing using  
HP Jetdirect software, then share the printer with client  
computers.

G If you are setting up peer-to-peer printing on a Microsoft  
Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000 network, you simply configure  
each Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000 client to print directly to  
the printer using HP Jetdirect software (see chapter 4).

HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway for NDPS  
NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services) is a printing architecture  
developed by Novell, in partnership with Hewlett-Packard. NDPS  
simplifies and streamlines the administration of network printing. It  
eliminates the need to set up and link print queues, printer objects,  
and print servers. NDPS is managed through a NetWare Administrator  
snap-in which allows the administrator to manage networked printers  
within the NetWare 4.11 and 4.22, intraNetWare, and NetWare 5  
environments from a single location.  
The HP IP/IPXPrinter Gateway is an NLM developed by HP to provide  
functionality and compatibility with Novell's NDPS. It seamlessly  
integrates HP Jetdirect-connected printers into the NDPS  
environment. Using the HP Gateway, an administrator can view  
statistics, configure gateway settings, and configure printing for  
HP Jetdirect-connected printers.  
Features  
Features and benefits provided by the HP Gateway and NDPS are:  
G Smart detection of printers in the NetWare 4.11 and 4.22,  
intraNetWare, and NetWare 5 environments  
G Automatic installation of printers using IPX/SPX  
G Tight integration with Novell's NDS and NWAdmin  
G Status updates from printers  
G Simplified Automatic Driver Download  
G Reduced SAP Traffic

HP Web JetAdmin version 6.0 or later is recommended for  
operation with the HP Jetdirect embedded web server.  
Viewing the Embedded Web Server  
Before you can use the embedded web server, the HP Jetdirect  
print server must be configured with an IP address.  
There are many ways to configure an IP address on the print  
server. You can automatically configure IP parameters over the  
network using BootP (Bootstrap Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic  
Host Configuration Protocol) each time the printer is turned on.  
Or, you can manually configure IP parameters using the  
printers control panel (for selected printers), Telnet,  
HP Web JetAdmin, or other management software.  
5-2 UDsoiwnngloatdhferomEmWwbwe.dSdomedanWuales.bcoSme. rAvlleMranuals Search And Download.  
             
If the HP Jetdirect print server does not receive its IP  
configuration within two minutes, a default IP address is  
automatically assigned: 192.0.0.192. This address is not a valid  
IP address for your network but can be used to initially access  
the print server. However, to use the default IP address, you  
must temporarily set up your system with the same IP network  
number or establish a route to it.  
After an IP address is established on the print server, perform  
the following steps:  
1. Run a supported version of your web browser.  
Enter the IP address of the print server as the URL (the one  
displayed in the following screenshot is an example only).  
The HP Jetdirect main web page will be displayed. If you have  
difficulty viewing the page, refer to Operating Notes.

FTP Printing  
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a basic TCP/IP connectivity  
utility to transfer data between systems. FTP printing is a  
way to use FTP to send print files from a client system to an  
HP Jetdirect-connected printer. In an FTP printing session, the  
client connects and sends a print file to the HP Jetdirect FTP  
server which in turn passes the print file to the printer.  
The HP Jetdirect FTP server can be enabled or disabled  
through a configuration utility, such as Telnet.  
Requirements  
FTP printing requires the following:  
G HP Jetdirect print servers with firmware version x.08.xx  
or later.  
G TCP/IP client systems with FTP that complies with RFC 959.  
Note  
For the most recent list of tested systems, visit  
the HP Customer Care Online at:  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals SearcFhTAnPd PDorwinnltoiandg. 6-1  
     
Print Files  
The HP Jetdirect FTP server transfers print files to the printer  
but does not interpret them. For proper printing, print files  
must be in a language recognized by the printer (such as  
PostScript, PCL, or unformatted text). For formatted print jobs,  
you must first print to a file from your application using the  
driver for the selected printer, then transfer the print file to the  
printer through an FTP session. For formatted print files, use  
binary (image) type transfers.  
Using FTP Printing  
FTP Connections  
Similar to standard FTP file transfers, FTP printing uses two  
TCP connections: a control connection and a data connection.  
Control Connection  
UsingstandardFTP, acontrolconnectionisopenedbytheclient  
to the FTP server on the HP Jetdirect print server. FTP control  
connections are used to exchange commands between the client  
and the FTP server. The HP Jetdirect print server supports up  
to three control connections (or FTP sessions) simultaneously.  
If the number of allowed connections is exceeded, a message  
indicating that service is not available will be displayed.  
FTP control connections use TCP port 21. Once an FTP session  
is opened, it remains active until either the client closes the  
connectionortheconnectionisidlefor900seconds(15minutes).  
6-2 FDToPwnPloardinfrtoimngWww.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
Data Connection  
A second connection, a data connection, is created each time a  
file is transferred between the client and the FTP server. The  
client controls the creation of a data connection by issuing the  
commands that require a data connection (such as FTP ls, dir  
or putcommands).  
Although the lsand dircommands are always accepted, the  
HP Jetdirect FTP server supports only one data connection for  
printing at a time.  
The transmission mode for an FTP data connection with the  
HP Jetdirect print server is always in stream mode, which  
marks the end-of-file by closing the data connection.  
Once a data connection is established, the file transfer type  
(ASCII or binary) can be specified. Although some clients may  
attempt to autonegotiate a transfer type, the default is ASCII.  
To specify the transfer type, enter the binor asciicommand  
at the FTP prompt.  
FTP Login  
To start an FTP session, enter the following command from a  
MS-DOS or UNIX command prompt:  
ftp <IP address>  
where <IP address>is the valid IP address or node name  
configured for the HP Jetdirect print server.  
If the connection is successful, the HP Jetdirect model and  
firmware version will be displayed.  
After a successful connection, the user is prompted for a login  
name and password. The default is the clients login name. The  
Jetdirect FTP server will allow any user name. Passwords are  
ignored.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals SearcFhTAnPd PDorwinnltoiandg. 6-3  
 
If login is successful, a message 230will be displayed on the  
client system. In addition, the available HP Jetdirect ports for  
printing will be displayed. HP Jetdirect external print servers  
with multiple ports will display all available ports, with Port1  
the default port. To change ports, use the FTP cd(change  
directory) command. For an example of a successful login, see  
Example of an FTP Session.”

Resetting Configuration to Factory  
Defaults  
Once you configure the HP Jetdirect 170X, the configuration settings  
are retained in memory unless you manually reset them to factory  
defaults.  
To reset the 170X to factory defaults, follow these steps:  
1. Unplug the power cord from the 170X.  
2. While holding down the Test button on the 170X, plug the power  
module into the 170X and continue to hold down the Test button  
for five seconds. Any user-configured settings will be erased.  
Troubleshooting Steps  
Follow these overall steps to diagnose and resolve the problem:  
G Verify the printer works properly.  
G Verify the 170X hardware works properly.  
G Verify that you can print to the printer when its attached directly  
to a PC.  
I. Verify the printer works properly  
G Print a printer self-test page (see your printer documentation)  
to make sure the printer works properly.  
G See your printer documentation to interpret the printer self-test  
page, and to diagnose and correct printer problems.

Description  
NETWORK FRAME  
TYPE RCVD  
The first column indicates the network number  
associated with the protocol frame type for  
communication between server and printer. Unless a  
specific frame type has been manually configured, the  
print server automatically determines the protocol  
frame type by listening to the NetWare data being  
transferred over the network. If UNKNOWN is listed,  
the HP Jetdirect print server is still trying to determine  
which network number to use. If the network number is  
DISABLED, a specific frame type has been manually  
configured. The Frame Type value can be EN_8023,  
EN_8022, EN_II, or EN_SNAP. The RCVD count  
indicates how many packets have been received for  
each frame type.  
NODE NAME:  
Queue Server Mode: The print server name. This name  
must match a valid print server on the appropriate  
NetWare file server. The default name is NPIxxxxxx,  
where xxxxxx represents the last six digits of the LAN  
hardware address.  
Remote Printer Mode: The name you gave to the  
network printer when you configured the network  
printer. The default name is NPIxxxxxx.  
PORT 1 STATUS:  
SERVER NAME:  
READY: Print server is awaiting data.  
INITIALIZING: Print server is registering the node  
address or name/type.  
The name of the NetWare file server or print server. If  
no name is displayed, the Jetdirect print server has not  
been configured.  
If the message UNABLE TO FIND FILE SERVER”  
appears in the IPX/SPX STATUS:section of the  
configuration page (see Table 8.2), the SERVER  
NAME field identifies the Jetdirect discovery method  
[NSQ] (Nearest Service Query) or [GSQ] (General  
Service Query) and the name of the proxy file server  
used to locate the configured bindery servers.

corresponds to the specified NetWare node name. Use  
printer installation software or PCONSOLE to create  
the print server object.  
When the HP Jetdirect print server is configured for  
multiple file servers, the error is only displayed on the  
configuration page (also called a self-test page or  
configuration plot) if none of the file servers made the  
connection.  
PRINTER NUMBER  
IN USE  
The printer number assigned to the printer is already in  
use by another printer. Assign an unused printer  
number. This may also occur when a printer is power  
cycled, in which case the error goes away after the print  
server times out and detects the lost connection.

A failure was detected when the HP Jetdirect print  
server tried to attach to one of the queues assigned to  
the print server object. This may be because no servers  
are allowed to attach to this queue. There may also be  
a networking or security problem. Use PCONSOLE to  
make sure that servers are allowed to attach to the  
queue, to delete the print server object from the list of  
queue servers if you want the HP Jetdirect print server  
to service other queues, or to delete the queue and  
create a new one (the print server objectmust be added  
to the list of queue servers).  
When the HP Jetdirect print server is configured for

UNABLE TO LOGIN  
A failure was detected when the HP Jetdirect print  
server tried to log onto the file server. This could be  
caused by the print server object not existing on the file  
server, or because of a security check that prevents the  
print server from logging in.  
Make sure the file server name and print server object  
name are correct. Use PCONSOLE to erase the  
password for the print server object. Create a new print  
server object.  
When the HP Jetdirect print server is configured for  
multiple file servers, the error is only displayed on the  
configuration page (also called a self-test page or  
configuration plot) if none of the file servers made the  
connection.  
UNABLETOSENSE  
NET NUMBER  
The HP Jetdirect print server has been trying for over  
3 minutes to determine the NetWare protocol used on  
the network. Make sure that any file servers and routers  
are operating correctly. Make sure that the settings for  
NetWare frame type and source routing are correct.  
UNABLE TO SET  
PASSWORD  
A failure was detected when the HP Jetdirect print  
server tried to set the password for the print server  
object. (Whenever the HP Jetdirect print server is able  
to log in without a password, it sets the password  
automatically.) This indicates a networking or security  
problem. Create a new print server object.  
When multiple file servers are configured, the error is  
only displayed on the configuration page if none of the  
file servers were successfully connected.  
UNDERFLOW

Check the cabling. If the error persists, run the power-  
on self-test: turn the printer off, then on again. If the  
error persists, call the Customer Care Center (see
