I Need to Change the "HOST NAME" of several laser printers. In the past I always used a print server or on a peer-to-peer network I've used Ip addressing. This year, for this client I'm having to use the Printer HOST NAMEI, because they no longer support static Ip addresses, which isn't a problem, except it's been so long since I've changed host names on some of the models.
anyway, on a HPLaserjet 4250dn, I've Found out where in the printer control panel to change the "Host Name" and I've Figured out how to change the characters; but, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to end the new name or how to get the printer to save the new name. Did that last statement make any sence? Example: say I wanted change the name from "NPI895IE" to "LOBBY" I can't figure out how to delete the letters that come after the number 9 and how to save save everything at that point. I know that it is probably really easy and I'm just a bonehead, but can someone help me out?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
