Use Bonjour (Mac OS X v10.4)
HP Jetdirect print servers support Bonjour (formerly known as Rendezvous) technology for printer discovery and installation over a TCP/IP network.
| NOTE:
|
The printer must be on the same network segment and not across a router.
The Network Port Configurations setting must have the appropriate network port enabled (for example, Built-in Ethernet is active) and be listed at the top of the ports list.
To uniquely identify a printer on a network that contains many printers, print an HP Jetdirect configuration page from the printer control panel. That page contains unique identification information for the printer.
|
To start Bonjour and the embedded Web server directly, use the following steps:
| 1.
|
| Open Safari and click the bookmark icon.
|
|
| 2.
|
| In the bookmark list, select Bonjour. A list of discovered printers is displayed.
|
|
| 3.
|
| Identify and select your printer. A string of hexadecimal digits is listed, which should match the LAN hardware address (or the last 6 digits of the address) on the HP Jetdirect configuration page for the printer.
|
|
| 4.
|
| Double-click the printer to use the embedded Web server on the printer. Configure the network settings using the Networking tab.
|
|
To add the printer to your system for printing, use the following steps:
| 1.
|
| Open System Preferences, and then open Print & Fax.
|
|
| 2.
|
| Click + to add a printer.
|
|
| 3.
|
| Using the Default Browser in the Printer Browser window, select the printer, and then click Add.
|
|
| NOTE:
|
If multiple connection types are listed, select the one with a Bonjour connection.
|
|
| 4.
|
| In the Print & Fax window, verify the new printer is added.
