Configuring the print server
for BOOTP configuration
The factory-default state of the HP Jetdirect print server allows it to use BOOTP services automatically, so no further
action is necessary.
How the default configuration works
Changing the BOOTP/DHCP configuration method
Setting up the DHCP server
The procedure to set up the DHCP server depends on the operating system on that system. (It may be a system other
than those using the HP Jetdirect print services.)

Windows

UNIX servers:
For instructions on setting up DHCP on UNIX systems, see the
bootpd
man page.
On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file
dhcptab
may be located in the
/etc
directory. Since HP-UX
presently does not provide Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) for its DHCP implementations, HP recommends
that you set all print server lease durations to infinite. This ensures that the print server IP addresses remain static until
dynamic name services are provided.
Windows NT 4.0 servers:
You will set up a pool--scope-- of IP addresses that the server can assign or lease to a requester.
Note: To avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that change, HP recommends that all print servers be
assigned IP addresses with infinite leases or reserved IP addresses.
NT Procedure:
Note: In addition to the general steps provided here, see also the instructions supplied with your DHCP
