    TI cannot however get the printer to accept any IP addresses to connect it my LAN as a network printer. Have placed a query with HP.
    Did you manually enter static IP settings on the Printer? If your Settings are wrong, you can't get it to work over LAN.

    Connecting to network is page fourteen. I assume the installation CD is the software that slicendice provided link to.

    Love the manual for this one. Almost 300 pages in pure English.

    Yes I did do that. the printer will not negotiate with the LAN, just as with the routers. the lights on the port card not come on. T seems again that the only way out is for complete reset on the printer.

    Thanks for the link. I have done that but the IP address line is blank. trying to set it to a static address so far has not helped either. the printer just will not start negotiating over the Ethernet interface.
    The manual says that the printer will only use USB [exclusive or] Ethernet . I cannot find anywhere where one can reverse the process. I am pretty sure now that this is the issue. Once the USB connection has been setup, you cannot easily change to the Ethernet option.
