If you own an HP Jetdirect 300x (J3263A specifically) with an older firmware version, such as H.08.20, you may have noticed it is next to impossible to update. The HP Download Manager is supposed to be used to update the product to the latest firmware revision, however it does not work and gives an error. Likewise, the HP Webjetadmin software does the same thing. Both peices of software use the SNMP protocol. Newer versions of the firmware are supposed to be updatable via FTP or HTTP, however if you are stuck with an old version such as H.08.20, you are out of luck on those methods. So how is one with an older firmware supposed to upgrade to the latest revision?
"Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy"Albert Einstein RE: IP address on HP JetDirect 300x ryrae (MIS)(OP)2 Jun 06 11:51The jetdirect was sitting in on the shelf so it hasn't been used in years....would it be easiest to hook the jetdirect box up to a printer and try to print out a config. page rather than trying to find the ip address through jetadmin? Thanks RE: IP address on HP JetDirect 300x Cwgunder (IS/IT--Management)9 Jun 06 16:02here's a PDF that may help you out: Connecting directly to a printer would be easier to see the existing configuration, but you can also clear the device and reset to factory defaults by unplugging it, then holding the test button down while you plug it back in. Keep the test button held down for 5-10 seconds. I take it you do not have DHCP setup on your network? If you do, that would be esiest way to configure these. Setting the reservation on the DCHP server as opposed to setting a static address makes it much easier to manage. That MAC should be located somewhere on the device. Hope this helpsGood Luck!Chris googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1406030581151-2'); ); Red Flag This PostPlease let us know here why this post is inappropriate.
