THIS VIDEO SHOWS YOU HOW TO INSTALL YOUR PRINTER DRIVER BY DOING A COLD RESET AND GETTING AN AUTOMATIC IP ADDRESS, YOU CAN ALSO CHANGE IT MANUALLY IF YOU KNOW HOW.
OMFG you sir are a Godsend. I had to replaced my old jetdirect card for my 4050 because it finally bit the dust. I had no idea how to cold reset it. I have been working on getting this on network for over 2 hours. Once I watched your video and cold reset it, everything is running smooth as butter. Thank you so freaking much man! You have no idea how much I appreciate it.
I don't know where you are, but I would buy you dinner. I just got a Laserjet 4050tn off facebook marketplace with no documentation. Your video MADE MY DAY! This 21 year old beauty is now on my network and working like a charm with my MacBook Pro. Here's to saving space in the landfill.
@@HstreetHoops Hi, I connected the printer to my router with an ethernet cable. As long as my MacBook is on the network (wiFi or direct cable) the printer shows up.
this is was the most useful video, simple cold reset to get the IP address was so simple, yet could not find this info anywhere. Very useful video. Though I had to watch three times, mwas missing the step of turning on after pressing the green button? thankyou
I have a 4050 laserJet and i do not get a ip address at all when i connect in the manner you show. also under the EIO 2 option i click on it and it just goes to ready. if i hook it directly to my laptop it works but i can not hook it up to a network. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.
Please help, I have an old HP Laser 4050 TN printer It works just fine as usual, but the printing was becoming faded I changed the cartridge and now I have streaks running up and down the paper Please advice, Thank you
