ip address conflict

If the printer is direcly attached to network, Uninstall the printer driver on the print server, reinstall the print driver again with a different ip address.

I'm not absolutely sure but I don't think you will be able to change the address in the jet direct without changing the server address or powering down the server until you get the address in the printer changed. As long as there are two devices onthe network with the same ip address you won't be able to talk to either of them. The only other possibility I can think of is to hook a pc with jet admin directly to the jet direct card with a crossover cable (network cable) and change the addressthat way.

All my HP network printers let you use the menu buttons to set the address. Disconnect the printer's network cable and set it up manually.

In order to use JetAdmin to administer a printer you need to be using a HP JetDirect print server. If this is so, then you can reset the print server's IP address by resetting it to factory defaults and then turn it off. Then, you can either use aDHCP reservation or manually reset the printer's IP to the appropriate one. If it's a newer JetDirect card or server, it will automatically look for a DHCP server when next you turn it on after resetting, so if you are using DHCP, set up the DHCP reservation before you turn the print server back on. Not knowing the exact model of print server you're using, I can't give you specific steps but you should have a manual for it and/or for the printer that tells you how to reset it to factory defaults. If you are using an HP JetDirect Port on your server to connect to the printer, you'll also have to reset the IP address on that port. Hope this helps!

you should be able to do it over an ipx network....this will require the server to be rebooted once you add it but if all else fails this is an possible way
