HP designjet 5500 ps 60 network connectivity issues

[neil johnsen]

Hey everyone. I've been using my hp 5500 designjet ps printer with windows 10, 64 bit for about 7 years now and has always worked fine through my old router. Had to install a new centurylink modem/router for internet speed upgrade. Now I can't connect through the network. I think I've tried everything to configure this set up and still no luck. Any ideas?, Thanks, Neil.

Have you set static ip to your printer? Probably you have ip conflict

Hi and thanks for responding. I'm not sure what you mean by static IP. I've got the printer installed on my lap top with the drivers I downloaded from HP. Tried to manually configure a new port, I think I gave the port a wrong address. Just internally printed out the current configuration from the 5500. Here's what I have from the print out.
Printer setup- I/O set up.
I/O time out..........30 min
Card ID................J7934G Jet Direct
Host Name..........NPIF25F60.Home
IP addr................192.168.0.3
IP addr...............255.255.255.0
IP addr...............192.168.0.1
Appletalk...........NPIF25F60
Mac addr...........00110af25f60

I've been assigning 192.168.0.1 to the port and that isn't working.

I'll try the 192.168.0 3.

Any help would much appreciated.

Thanks, Neil

I finally got the right IP address assigned to the port. Working fine now.
