My hp 2015dn printer's status page says initialing and has a ip 169.x.x.x address. It had a manual address that was totally different. Without an on-hardware menu, how do I change the ip?

is this a P1606 printer, left off the "P"
??
?is it to much to say printer, ? so we dont have to look up wrong typed models?
?
?reset the printer first? ?
?what way are you using said printer
?nO PC Stated.
?no NO OS stated.
?did you load fresh all HP software for this printer?
?no Connection options stated,.
?I guess USB connections are not any good?
?so you read page 28 in your manual (connections to ethernet)
?to your router wired with CAT5/6 cable?
?and this fails,
?the
ip 0.0.0.0 (MEANS DHCP FAILED) OR FAILED TO SET A RESERVED ip ADDRESS TO THE PRINTER. IN THE ROUTERCOVERED IN PAGE 29 IN YOUR MANUAL. BTW.
?
?RESET THE PRINTER, AND TRY USB , IF THAT FAILS
?YOU MESSED UP THE FIRMWARE UPDATE.!
?IF usb WORKS , RESET THE PRINTER AGAIN
?THEN read page 28 and own for Ethernet.
?
?in all cases like this reset the printer first OK?
?some models have optional wireless wifi
?is that what you are attempting ?

Every network printer or print server has a unique IP address associated with it. This address is either configured manually or set using an automatic network protocol such as the boot protocol, reverse address resolution protocol or zeroconf. You can normally find the IP address of a printer on the printer's control panel or by printing the configuration page. Select the printers and faxes tab from the control panel. Right click on the printer those you want to find the IP address and click properties. Then click on the ports tab to display the IP address of your printer.

Take out the Network Confirguration page from the printer.
To get the page.
Press the setup button.
Go to Network Setup>>>View Network Settings>>Network Configuration page. Press OK to get it printed.
Note down the IP address of the printer.
Then Go to The Printers folder under Control Panel.
Make right click on the printer icon and select Properties or printer properties in case of windows 7.
Go to Ports tab.
Click on Add a Port. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP
Enter the IP address that you have noted down from the Cofiguration Page.
And complete the Add a port wizard.
Then restart the printer.
. If you are using a DSL router, then enter Manual IP to the Printer.
Make sure it is different from the IP of other devices on network.
You must have default gateway, subnet mask information about the network.
To get the details.
Open Command Prompt on your computer from All Programs>>Accessories.
Enter ipconfig and press enter.
Then note down the IP address, default gateway and subnet mask.
To enter the manual IP to the printer, Press setup button. Go to Network Setup. Select Advance Settings>>>>IP Settings>>>manual IP.
Enter Ip address of priner as 192.168.001.023.
The default gateway must be 192.168.1.1, make sure that first 3 set of numbers are same. like 192.168.1, last 3 should be different from the computer's one.
Enter the same default gateway and same subnet mask
And after adding the manual IP, use ADD a Port option. Restart the printer and then check the status.
To make sure, make a right click on the printer icon and select Use Printer Online.

In order to set IP address, make sure printer kit/NIC is installed. Plugged network cable, Press Program button--> Initial Setup-->Network-->TCP/IP to configure IP address. Once finish, back to Network-->Complete to save the settings.

*Machine need to initialize network during startup, once finish initialize network then only u're able to access network settings. A status page will print out by default after finish initialized network.

Turn off dhcp. Set your IP address manually.

Just scroll down look for router name and model #.

Try flashing the firmware: one of the fixes is this - (Improved IP address management of DHCP to Manual changes).  See link below. Firmware

Hi,
Switch off the printer and press * & enter key together &switch on wait till you see " permanent storage int"
then release button your printer comes back to original defaults
then re-configure printer as you require

I would suggest that you set a higher Ip address then 9-10 as it is possible that your router/switch is possibly using one of these for DHCP, I have one of these myself, I had to put mine a little uprange to prevent my router / switch from interfering with it.
