Which printer is the one I want to configure?

What if the printer I want isn't on the list?

 

Printer found

This screen lists all printers found by the Wizard. You can choose a printer from this list and configure it for use on a wireless network, using the screens that follow. Select the printer you want to configure by clicking on it in the list; then click Next to continue.

Note: If your HP Jetdirect print server was preconfigured with an SNMP Set Community Name or Administrative Password (for example, by your Network Administrator), the wizard will prompt you for those values before you can continue.

Which printer is the one I want to configure?
If there are similar printers listed, you can uniquely identify the printer that you want to configure by comparing the values displayed in the list with the values on the HP Jetdirect configuration page for that printer. (To print a Jetdirect configuration page, see the documentation supplied with your HP Jetdirect print server. If the print server has an external Test button, just push that button to print a configuration page.)

Note: If there are multiple printers listed with the same factory-default IP address, then use the LAN hardware (MAC) address to uniquely identify the printer.

The printer's model is generally the easiest way to differentiate it from other printers, as it is the most obvious of the characteristics listed. The printer's hardware (MAC) address is the surest way to distinguish between printers, since the print server in each printer has a unique hardware address.

When you have determined which printer you want to configure, select it in the list by clicking on it; then click Next to continue.
