If you purchase an optional HP Jetdirect internal print server, and you cannot communicate with 
the MFP over the network, check the operation of the print server. Check the 
Jetdirect configuration page for the message

For troubleshooting information, see the documentation that came with the print server.

The HP LaserJet 9040mfp and the HP LaserJet 9050mfp have an embedded print server. If you 
cannot communicate with the MFP over the network, check the operation of the embedded print 
server. Check the embedded Jetdirect configuration page for the message

 I/O CARD READY

, and 

for the correct network configuration settings. See 

 for instructions.

Verify that the print server was able to link to the network automatically:

●

Check that a link LED on the MFP’s LAN (RJ-45) connector is lit, which indicates a 
successful link. A link failure is indicated when both LEDs are off.

●

Check the embedded Jetdirect configuration page for error messages. The message 

LOSS 

OF CARRIER ERROR

 indicates a link failure. 

For link failures, check all of the network cable connections. In addition, you can try to manually 
configure the link settings on the embedded print server by using the MFP control-panel menus 
(

HP Jetdirect print servers are available for many different network connections, including 
802.11 wireless networks.
