I'm trying to make a reservation for a printer that is connected to an HP JetDirect. I have assigned it a specific IP address from my scope that isn't in use by another device. I have my supported types as "BOTH", DHCP and BOOTP. But every morning it renews a different IP address from my scope. For the MAC address I am giving the LAN HW address. i than check the reservations and I see the newly created reservation but it says inactive. Any suggestions.

I picked "DHCP only" and that seemed to do the trick. I did a refresh on the reservation page and it now says active. I than did a test page from the Jet Direct and it is now pulling the correct IP address.

1) YOU NEED TO CONNECT THE NETWORK CABLE TO THE PRINTER
2) HOLD THE START BUTTON FOR FEW SECONDS
3) YOU WILL GET A SHEET IN THAT IT MENITION THE PRINTER DETAILS AND WHICH IP ADDRESS IT HAS DEFAULTLY I'IS APIPA RANGE IP ADDRESS
169.0.0.0 SERRIES
4)YOU NEED TO CONNECT THE SYSTEM AND CONNECT THE NETWORK CABEL DIRECTLY TO THE PRINTER AND ASSIGN THE APIPA RANGE IP ADDRESS TO THE SYSTEM
5)OPEN A BROWSER AND HTTP:\\PRINTER IP ADDRESS WHICH IS DEFAULTLY ASSIGNED AND YOU WILL GET A SCREEN WHERE YOU CAN CHANGE THE IP ADDRESS OF THE PRINTER
AND TAKE THE IP ADDRESS AND MAC ADDRESS OF THAT PRINTER WHICH IS MENITIONED IN THE SHEET .

Dear Shiva,
This question is from last year.
The original poster found a solution himself and told us about it.
What are you trying to say?
(And, check your CapsLock. I believe it's stuck, somehow.)
