must restart the printer. This automatically provides a working network configuration for most networks.
The printer’s other settings remain unchanged.
Using IPv6
Your printer supports almost all network connectivity features using IPv6, just as it does using IPv4. To
make full use of IPv6, you may need to connect your printer to an IPv6 network in which there are IPv6
routers and servers.
In most IPv6 networks, the printer will configure itself automatically as follows, and no user
configuration is necessary:
1.
The printer assigns itself a link-local IPv6 address (which starts with “fe80::”).
2.
The printer assigns itself stateless IPv6 addresses as indicated to it by any IPv6 routers on the
network.
3.
If no stateless IPv6 addresses can be assigned, the printer will try to obtain IPv6 addresses using
DHCPv6. It will also do so if the routers instruct it to do so.
The stateless and DHCPv6 IPv6 addresses can be used to access the printer, and in most IPv6 networks
this will be appropriate.
The link-local IPv6 address works only in the local subnet. Although it is possible to access the printer
using this address, it is not recommended.
It is possible to assign a manual IPv6 address to the printer, using the front panel or the Embedded
Web Server. It is also possible to disable IPv6 completely in the printer. However, it is not possible to
disable IPv4 in the printer, and therefore it is not possible to configure the printer as IPv6-only.
NOTE:
In typical IPv6 use, your printer will have multiple IPv6 addresses, although it has only one
IPv4 address.
TIP:
You will generally find it easier to use IPv4 unless you have a specific need to use IPv6.
Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, and the new HP Printing and Imaging
devices will have IPv6 enabled by default. For further information on IPv6, see
. This
document discusses how name resolution plays a fundamental role in Dual-Stack transition methods.
Using the name resolution algorithm in Windows Vista, the document goes through various network
environments and studies how the introduction of routable IPv6 addresses will affect network
applications. It also discusses DHCPv6, SLAAC and the impact to DNS, and makes some
recommendations.
Using IPSec
Your printer supports IPSec.
However, successful IPSec configuration requires advanced network expertise, and is beyond the scope
of this document. For IPSec to work, the printer’s IPSec configuration must exactly match that of the
other devices in your network. Any discrepancy will prevent communication with your printer until the
configuration is corrected or IPSec is disabled. For more information on IPsec configuration, download
the file IPsec_Admin_Guide.pdf from
