use your system command prompt to manually configure
the print server remotely (for example, through Telnet commands).

To use Telnet commands with the HP Jetdirect
print server, a route must be available from
your workstation to the print server.
Simplistically, this means that there must be a
match between the network identification of
your system to that of the HP Jetdirect print
server.
On Windows systems, you can use the following
route command at a system command prompt
to add a route to the print server:
route add <IP address Jetdirect>
<IP address workstation>
where <IP address Jetdirect> is the IP
address configured on the HP Jetdirect print
server, and <IP address workstation> is
the IP address of the workstation's network
card that is attached to the same physical LAN
as the print server
