HP Jetdirect 300x configuration help

[ivwshane]

I'm going to try this forum (I originally posted this in the networking forum).

Ok I just picked up for free a HP Jetdirect 300x and I would like to set it up on my home network. I did a test page and it showed it's ip address/subnet, which of course is totally different from my networks. But I went through the "add printer" wizard and created a new tcp/ip port and specified the ip of the jet direct using the one the jetdirect showed. I tried to do a test page but nothing printed, I can however push the test button on the jetdirect and it will print. My question is what else do I need to configure? Can I change the ip of the jetdirect? If so then how?

Here's my setup;
cable modem into a 4 port linksys router
3 computers are directly conected to the router
a 3COM 8 port hub is connected to the other port
one system and the jetdirect are connected to the hub

system 1 has win2k server running DHCP, DNS, and is my print server
system 2 has win2 server running web, ftp, and storage programs/services
system 3 and 4 are just win2k pro workstations

I don't really think this is highly technical but I'll answer anyway.

Unplug the power on the JD box. Hold down the test button, plug the power in and count to 5 and let go of the button. This will reset the jd back to factory settings which should make it grab an ip address from the linksys router which I assume is doing dhcp. You should then be able to print to it and configure it further via tcpip.
