How to Get an IP Address on an HP 4050N Printer

The IP address for the HP LaserJet 4050N printer provides a unique identity for the printer, especially when the printer operates on a network with multiple printers. In order to install the 4050N on your computer, you will need the printer’s IP address. Unless someone has made and placed a label with the printer’s IP address on the printer, the quickest way to acquire the IP address requires you to print out a configuration page.

Instructions

1. Turn on the printer. Allow the printer to warm up.

2. Press the “Menu” button on the printer’s control pad until “Information Menu” shows up on the printer’s display screen.

3. Press the “Item” button on the control panel until the display screen shows “Print Configuration.” Press the “Select” button on the control panel to print the configuration page.

4. Find the printer’s IP address on the printed configuration page. The IP address will be under section 1, labeled “Printer Information.”
