I have an hp 8150N network Printer that I want to connect to my network and I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried to connect a crossover cable from a computer to the printer and ping the printer ip address but I get no reply. does that mean that the network card installed is bad or maybe the port. When I have the printer print the specs sheet it prints 2 sheets - one is the network card, which i have read means that the card is working, so is it a setting issue. I am sure i need to provide more info but not sure what other info is needed, Please help.

Use a standard RG45 cable. What NIC? If a 600,610,615, try updating the firmware, Or replace with a 620.
Does the NIC light up?
Since you have a network config page, go to the driver and set the port for those #'s
Using a router or switch?
