  • Mwahhaahhaah... yes.

    What kind of interface?
  • Woah, you've telneted in your LaserJet? I got a LJ4 Plus, can someone tell me howto get into it? I want to change the readout too. It's on LPT1.

  • Find out it's IP address, then open up a DOS prompt, and type "telnet 192.168.x.x" where x.x is it's actual IP.

  • Duff you cant telent into yours cuz your not running a jetdirect card in it.

    Nor can you change the readout.
  • Damn it. I can probably get a JetDirect card, then I could put the printer somewhere else in the house or room.

  • Not sure you need BOOTP in there, I'm pretty sure you do DHCP...

    -Q
  • Both disabled, static IP at 192.168.0.7
  • You know C@H has one of them, but it's on 192.168.1.25, so we can't use it/fix it!

    -Q
  • You manually change it from the printer.
  • How? I don't think we were able too using the buttons.

    -Q
  • Its complicated, but you can...
  • Anyway this isn't accomplished using Telnet, but rather an HP util with some irksome Java popup messages.
