[Electrical] EIO jet direct card question

[irv6744]

My MFP printer decided to break the control buttons and screen so i cannot print or read the settings on the several EIO cards I have.

Is there some way using software to figure out the ip addresses on the cards.

I couldn't figure out jet-administration software and discovery did not find the card.
ARP found the card but the -S command wouldn't change the address on the card.

any ideas how to do this, short of finding a printer with a display and buttons that work.

thanks

If you can get your hands on a Windows XP laptop, you can download the old HP Download Manager.

I used to use this all the time.

Re: EIO jet direct card question

i managed to take a motor out of one of my not working printers and replaced it in the printer that went bad and i got a screen i could use to change my EIO cards to DHCP.
After i replaced the motor it turned out that the toner cartridge was bad and once i put it another toner, all was well again.
the bad toner cartridge probably took out the motor.
oh well...

but thanks for the thought.
i think i tried to get that software and had trouble finding it.
i will try to download it.
