5-14 Troubleshooting Problems

Resetting to Factory Defaults (“Cold Reset”)

Once you configure the HP print server, the configuration settings are retained in memory 
unless you manually reset them to factory defaults. If you lose communications with the 
HP Jetdirect print server, or it fails to operate properly, you may need to reset the print 
server to its factory-default configuration. This is called a “cold reset”.

Procedure

To reset the print server configuration to factory defaults, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the power module from the back of the print server.

2. While holding down the  test button

 on the back of the print server, plug the power 

module back into the print server and continue to hold down the test button button for 
about five seconds. Any user-configured settings will be erased.

Note

When this  step is done, the print server responds exactly like it was fresh from 
the factory.  This 802.11b print server will be in ad hoc  mode after this procedure;  
it will scan for a network with an SSID of

hpsetup

 to join.  Until it finds a 

network, it will continue scanning with an IP address  0.0.0.0.  Once a network 
is established by completing step 4 below (for example by having a laptop 
establish a network with a name of

hpsetup

), it will go to the default IP address  

192.0.0.192.

If an X.509 certificate is installed for SSL/TLS secure embedded Web services, 
it will be saved over a cold reset.

3. Print a Jetdirect configuration page to confirm that factory-default values you expect 

4. You must repeat the setup procedures in chapters 3 and 4.
