Hi
I have got a second hand HP Laserjet 5M without any manual books. I am
trying to install it at home as a network printer.
I have done a factory default reset (cold reset) and then managed to set the
addresses (IP, sub mask, gateway) through it's front panel. My home network
is around a Netgear wireless router. The printer however is connected
through cable.
Now, from my computers, I can ping the printer; I can telnet the printer,
but I can not see the printer either through "HP Install Network Printer
Wizard" or Windows XP add new printer. Nothing can be detected, either
automatic or by specifying IP or MAC address.
I have searched the net and haven't got any clue. Wonder if any one can help
me on this. Thanks in advance.
