Description

These are steps for adding a printer to the network. Some steps may be optional depending on the model and usage. 

Requirements

  • You may need a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
    • If you are replacing a printer, get the IP addressing information from that printer
  • Devicename/hostname. General format is Location-Department-Model number
  • You may need the print PIN to make administrative changes via the web interface
  • You may need the Administrator password to login. This is under 'HP Printer' in SecretServer
