If a network unit, open a browser and type in the IP.
You will get the embedded pages that can be administerd.
Print a config page, it will have the info.

Thanks Michael.

Unfortunatly this old thing only has a usb and a lpt port. Use it only on one pc. But you're right, the toolbox is based on a browser window. But i think there is somekind of program installed as well to use it.

Call the local HP support, they will order a new software CD for you at no cost (at least in Europe)
However if you are using Windows Vista by any chance, I am unsure whether the toolbox with actually work.

Thanks hpwizzard

I tried calling hp Denmark yesterday. But it's really expensive, about 1,3 euro pr min. all included, and you have to wait in line!!! So i hung up. Instead left them a mail (again), under a support of a different printername, hence they don't have the 2550l on the DK support page. Guess they are not so service minded when it comes to previous models.

So i'll just wait and see...
Using XP btw. But thanks for the concern.

Mads, give it another chance and call the support between 8-9 or 16-17 and you will get through I promise. I know because I work there !
