HP Jetdirect 280m 802.11b Wireless Print Server - Manual (Page 106)

HP Jetdirect troubleshooting
Are the printer and the computer on the same
network?
You can check the wireless configuration of your computer by using the setup
utility that came with your computer's wireless card, or by
using the configuration
utility in Windows XP . Compare the computer's wireless configuration with the
configuration of the printer by looking at the Jetdirect configuration page your
recently printed. Check these parameters:
●
Mode of operation: ad hoc (peer-to-peer) or infrastructure (through a
wireless access point)
●
Network name (SSID)
●
Encryption configuration
●
Authentication configuration
(If the computer you are attempting to print from is not a wireless computer but is
on a network that is connected to your wireless network, check that the printer's
configuration matches the configuration of a wireless computer on the wireless
network.)
Note: If the printer's wireless configuration is:
●
Mode: ad hoc (peer-to-peer)
●
Network name (SSID): hpsetup
●
Encryption/authentication: disabled
then the print server is set to its factory default configuration and needs
to be configured. In that case, exit this troubleshooting procedure and
run the Wireless Setup Wizard and the Install Network Printer Wizard.
(Start by inserting the HP Jetdirect CD into your computer. When the
main screen comes up, select "Install"; then select "Wireless"; then select
"No, the wireless settings have not been configured . . ."; then select
"Step 1 -- Configure printer's wireless settings".) During the early part of
the Wireless Setup Wizard, make sure that the computer's wireless
configuration gets changed -- either automatically by the Wizard or
manually by you -- to match the print server's configuration; if they don't
match, you can't configure the print server.
