We have old Hp colour printer, we need to set up for our users to use, We don't have printer server or network port on it, but we 've external jetbox which was used for an other printer, now we tried to reset the jetbox, but cannt reset that jetbox everytime we try that and print config page shows same old ip address, what do i do? is there any other way that i can share the users.

I CAN GIVE IT SHARED NAME AND ALLOW EVERYBODY TO USE THAT SHARED NAME. BUT ANY OTHER SOLLUTION VIA ACTIVE DIRECTORY.
 
Hook up a laptop to the jetdirect box on the same IP subnet (using a crossover cable, or a small hub), telnet into it and change it. :)

For example, if the IP of the JetDirect box is 10.59.1.72 then set up your laptop with a 10.59.1.1 on the network, telnet to 10.59.1.72 (or open up the browser to that IP), and change the IP to whatever you want it to be.



Just my 2¢
