Changing the IP address via telnet 1

[prha]

Does anybody know how to change the IP address of an HP laserjet 2100tn?
I have a printer with a static external IP address that I have moved to internal and need to change the IP address.
There is no display to change it but I think you can do it via telnet, which is something I have no clue on.

any advice appreciated.

To change the IP address, I use my internet browser and just put in the ip address number in the browser address window. It should open up a page for your printer that has a wealth of information and configuration options. You should be able to change your IP address there. Keep in mind that if you change the IP and the printer resets to take the change your browser will no longer find the page(you changed the address) Change your browser address to the new IP address and you should see your printer with the configuration changes you have made.

Hi fstech,

Thanks for that, It does work for most of my printers, but it doesn't work for my HP 2100 tn printers (they are very old). The browser just sticks on the admin page trying to load the java applet, but doesn't get any further.
Do you know of any other way to change the IP address?

Thanks

Try PRINTSERVESETUP Utility. It's a Lexmark application but it just might work. I have used it many times for Lexmark print servers.
You can get this utility at:
