  1. I found detailed steps at the HP Support Document for Configuring TCP/IP through the Front Control Panel. The steps are summarized below for convenience.

    HP LaserJet 4000, 4050, 4100, 4500, 4550, 5Si, 5SiMX, 5000, 5100, 8500, 8550, 8000, 8150 printers, HP 2500c Professional series, HP Business Inkjet 2200, 2250, and 2600 printers To configure TCP/IP parameters from the control panel, use the following instructions:

    1. Press the MENU button until HP MIO 1 (or 2) , or HP EIO 1 (or 2) appears.
    2. Press the ITEM button until CFG NETWORK = NO appears.

    3. Press the PLUS or VALUE button until CFG NETWORK = YES appears.

      NOTE: The CFG NETWORK = XXX (XXX being YES or NO) is a toggle, not a permanent setting. Changing it to YES allows the settings to be changed at that time . It will appear as CFG NETWORK = NO each time this menu is accessed.

    4. Press SELECT or RESUME.

    5. Press ITEM repeatedly until CFG TCP/IP = NO appears.

    6. Press the PLUS or VALUE button until CFG TCP/IP = YES appears.

      NOTE: The CFG TCP/IP = XXX (XXX being YES or NO) is a toggle, not a permanent setting. Changing it to YES allows the settings to be changed at that time . It will appear as CFG TCP/IP = NO each time this menu is accessed.

    7. Press SELECT or RESUME .

    8. Press the ITEM repeatedly until BOOTP = YES* appears.

    9. Press the PLUS or VALUE button until BOOTP = NO appears.

      NOTE: When using BootP or DHCP, keep the setting BOOTP = YES *. The BootP or DHCP server will configure the TCP/IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect. No other TCP/IP configuring is necessary.

    10. Press SELECT or RESUME .

      The following two steps apply to the HP Jetdirect 610n cards only:

      a. DHCP=YES appears.

      b. Press the PLUS or VALUE button until DHCP = NO appears.

      NOTE: When using DHCP, keep the setting DHCP = YES *. The DHCP server will configure the TCP/IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect. No other TCP/IP configuring is necessary.

    11. Press SELECT or RESUME .

    12. Press ITEM until IP BYTE 1 = (value*) appears.
    13. Press the PLUS or VALUE button, until the desired value of the first byte of the IP address appears. By pressing and holding the PLUS or VALUE button, the value will scroll rapidly (HP LaserJet 4000, 5000, and 8000 printers have a MINUS button to decrease the value).
    14. Press SELECT or RESUME to save the value.
    15. Press ITEM to continue. Repeat Steps 11-13 to configure the remaining bytes of the IP address.
    16. Repeat Steps 11-13 to configure the subnet mask bytes (SM BYTE 1=), syslog server IP address (LG BYTE 1=), default gateway (GW BYTE 1=), and timeout (TIMEOUT=).
    17. Press ONLINE , GO or MENU . Print a self-test page to verify the IP settings.
    18. If the test page does not show the correct settings, power cycle the printer and reprint the test page.

    Click on THIS link, go to page B-18, it explains how to setup IP on the machine.

  3. The only way to set a static address is to do it with your DHCP server. Find the the MAC address of the machine by printing the configuration page then assign the static IP you want to give it at the DHCP server.
