Disabling network protocols (optional)
By factory default, all supported network protocols are enabled. Disabling unused protocols
has the following benefits:
•
decreases printer-generated network traffic
•
prevents unauthorized users from printing to the printer
•
provides only pertinent information on the configuration page
•
allows the printer control panel to display protocol-specific error and warning messages
Note
TCP/IP configuration cannot be disabled on the HP Color LaserJet 5500 printer.
To disable IPX/SPX
Note
Do not disable this protocol if Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Me, 2000, and XP
systems will be printing to the printer using IPX/SPX.
