HP 3550 - Manual (Page 71)

Disabling network protocols (optional)
By factory default, all supported network protocols are enabled. Disabling unused protocols
has the following benefits:
● decreases printer-generated network traffic
● prevents unauthorized users from printing to the printer
● provides only pertinent information on the configuration page
● allows the printer control panel to display protocol-specific error and warning messages
NOTE TCP/IP configuration should not be disabled on the HP Color LaserJet 3550 printer. If you
disable TCP/IP, you will lose the connection to the printer's embedded Web server page.
To disable IPX/SPX
NOTE Do not disable this protocol if Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Me, 2000, and XP systems will
be printing to the printer using IPX/SPX.
