Yes. HP does make a smaller utility that you could use to to discover and set up
Network printer using HP's Internal/External JetDirect print servers. It is
called" Install Network Printer Wizard" (INPW). You could download it from HP's
Web Side under the Support & Drivers Link. Type in Install Network Printer WIzard
in the product model. Select the one for your OS.
Also, in your LJ 5N, you should do a Cold Reset:
1). Turn printer off.
2). Hold down the Go button while you turn the printer on.
3). Let it go after the msg"Cold Reset" is shown.
Give a minute or two after it is done then press the Go button to make sure the
printer is online. You could run the INPW after that. the LJ 5N should grab an IP
address from your Router. If it doesn't, the 192.0.01 IP address might be shown
as the printer found by the INPW. You should set the IP address of the printer
outside of the DHCP range and make it static.
