| 186331 | 2003-10-24 23:22:00 | We have had this LaserJet 2200DTN connected to the network with Win2k for a while. However we have just changed the ADSL/Router for another one which has different nwk addresses. The printer still has 192.168.0.8. The Gateway was 192.168.0.1 with corresponding addresses for the PC's on the network. Now the Gateway is 10.0.0.1 and the printer needs to have an address such as 10.0.0.x (I think!). I have HP Web JetAdmin installed and can't find how to change it. I have looked in the manual and I have exhausted trying to find out on HP's web site. Your help really needed to solve this issue to get the printer running again - thanks |

| 186332 | 2003-10-24 23:44:00 | manually set one of your machine's ip to 192.168.0.x, ie. in the same subnet with the printer. then run jetadmin to set the printers ip to 10.x.x.x gl |

| 186333 | 2003-10-24 23:55:00 | So the printer is connected to the gateway machine? And that machine is running windows? Normally you could just make a new printer on the gateway machine, and just share it and delete the old printer. But if you want to specify the exact IP, and port you could try making a new printer. These instructions will be slightly different if your not on XP: -> Go into Printers and faxes, and add a new printer. -> Click next, then select 'local printer attached to computer'. Uncheck 'detect my printer automatically' -> Click next -> Check the 'create new port' and select Standard TCP/IP Port. -> Next again, and you should get a wizard where you can specify the port and IP address. Much easier to just make a new printer on the computer that is attached to the printer, and share it. |

I use a 2100 with a network adapter, and use PSAdmin to set the IP Address. It should be quite straigtforward, with the proviso as above, to do it with a temporary IP address on the PC making the changes, to put it in the same group. Alternatively, you should be able to reconfigure the router/modem to the old group, mine is 10.0.0.x, but can be reassigned to anything. > Much easier to just make a new printer on the > computer that is attached to the printer, and share > it. Thats a poor solution though. Means the PC needs to be on to use the printer. The HP lasers in that family work well directly ethernet connected. |

| 186335 | 2003-10-25 01:48:00 | Thanks for the responses. You are right; it is a NETWORK printer, not a shared printer on the network. I don't know PSAdmin - can I down load it? I figure I should be able to use HP Web JetAdmin where it has an option to replace the current IP address, but on APPLY it comes up with FAILED - it detects the printer at 192.168.0.8 from the current 10.0.0.x addressing. I am hesitant to alter the modem and router addresses after receiving Netgear help from the US last weekend to set it up. (Shouldn't be complicated but only occasional tampering/setting up means not a depth of knowledge on this stuff!) | JonnyP (3046) | ||
| 186336 | 2003-10-25 02:07:00 | The HP adminsitration software should work ... but it might be not setting the new address because it's not being run on a macine in the "same" LAN. Try temporarily changing the IP address of the computer you are running the programme on to one in the 192.168.0.xxx range . | Graham L (2) | ||
