On the right side of the box will appear several buttons. The printer will appear in the print dialog box as an IP address.ДЈ.You can change the name of the printer if you want. When you have finished all the steps, it works! What a relief. IP Byte 2 for the same IP address is '123'. You push the 'VALUE' button many times if the number is three digits. At the line in part 3 beginning with ' вЂIP BYTE 1=XXXвЂ™ is displayed.', the 'XXX' means the first set of numbers before the first '.' in the IP address. They mostly expose my simple minded understanding of computers.ДЎ. Several comments to clarify your instructions. Thank you, Neil! Your instructions worked. I really hope that what has worked for me works for anyone else who is struggling to set up their HP printer using IP over Ethernet. Now in the Address field enter the вЂIPвЂ™ values that you entered in the printer (and that you wrote down earlier). The вЂSubnet MaskвЂ™ value displayed in вЂNetworkвЂ™ (under вЂSystem PreferenceвЂ™s should display the same вЂSubnet MaskвЂ™ value).Д¬lick on the вЂSHOW ALLвЂ™ tab in the open вЂNETWORKвЂ™ window.Д¬lick on вЂPrint & FaxвЂ™ in вЂSystem PreferencesвЂ™.Д¬lick on the вЂ+вЂ™ tab on the left of the вЂPrintersвЂ™ Pane.ДЇrom the drop down menu вЂSelect HP Jetdirect вЂ“ Socket.вЂ™ Follow the same process as for the вЂIPвЂ™ address and enter the values given in the вЂEthernetвЂ™ pane in вЂNetworkвЂ™ under вЂSystem PreferencesвЂ™.ДЄfter entering the final вЂSubnet Mask (SM)вЂ™ value (BYTE 4) press вЂSELECTвЂ™ and finally press the green вЂGOвЂ™ button.ДЄs soon as the green вЂGOвЂ™ button has been pressed the вЂIPвЂ™ value in both вЂNetworkвЂ™ (under вЂSystem PreferencesвЂ™) and вЂNetwork UtilityвЂ™ (Applications/Utilities) will change to display a new вЂIPвЂ™ address. Repeat this procedure for вЂBYTE 2, 3 AND 4вЂ™ by using entering a value each time using the вЂVALUEвЂ™ button and then pressing вЂSELECTвЂ™ before finally moving onto the next вЂIP BYTEвЂ™ value using the вЂITEMвЂ™ button.ДЄfter all of the вЂIPвЂ™ values have been entered pressing the вЂITEMвЂ™ button will display вЂSM BYTE 1=XXXвЂ™ вЂ“ this is the вЂSubnet MaskвЂ™ value. вЂIP BYTE 1=XXXвЂ™ is displayed and where I have put вЂXXXвЂ™ using the вЂVALUEвЂ™ button enter the first number of the вЂIPвЂ™ address given in вЂNetwork UtilityвЂ™. Press вЂITEMвЂ™ button until вЂBOOTP=NOвЂ™ is displayed (or press вЂVALUEвЂ™ button until value reads вЂNOвЂ™ and then press вЂSELECTвЂ™)

Press вЂITEMвЂ™ button until вЂCFG TCP/IP=NO*вЂ™ is displayed Press вЂVALUEвЂ™ button until value reads вЂYESвЂ™ Press вЂITEMвЂ™ button until вЂCFG NETWORKJ=NO *вЂ™ is displayed On my HP LaserJet 4050N I went through the following menus:Д¬lick the green вЂGOвЂ™ button until the display reads вЂOfflineвЂ™Д¬lick вЂMENUвЂ™ 7 times or until вЂEIO 2 JETDIRECT MENUвЂ™ shows The вЂIP AddressвЂ™ should be the same as that given in the вЂNetworkвЂ™ settings panel for the Ethernet port. Click on the вЂInfoвЂ™ tab and from the drop-down menu select вЂEthernetвЂ™. Go to вЂApplicationsвЂ™ folder and click on вЂUtilitiesвЂ™ and open вЂNetwork UtilityвЂ™. (you might need to click вЂRenew DHCP LeaseвЂ™ by clicking вЂAdvancedвЂ™ and under вЂTCP/IPвЂ™ clicking вЂRenew DHCP LeaseвЂ™)

In вЂSystem PreferencesвЂ™ in вЂNetworkвЂ™, I made sure that вЂEthernetвЂ™ is set to the following: I have had sooo many difficulties in attempting to set up my HP LaserJet 4050N using an IP address connected to my iMac via EthernetвЂ¦ but tonight I have finally succeeded!
