Is there a tool or way to change the IP on HP printer like the 1200 that has a small jetdirect and no control panel
so it picks up DHCP ???

Thanks
 
Do you know the current IP address? Then you could access it with a browser and change to DHCP. If not, I guess you would need to install web jetadmin to discover and configure it
 
Two options:
There should be a 'Test' button on the JetDirect (small button in back.) The current IP will be on the second sheet printed.
Of course, if none of the current configuration information is worth keeping, reset the JetDirect. First, unplug the JetDirect's power cable from the back of the JetDirect box. Then hold down the aforementioned 'Test' button while plugging the power back in. Continue to hold the button for about 20 seconds. Resetting the box will automatically set it for DHCP, and the 'Test' button printout will give you the IP for further configuration through the web browser. Note that it usually takes about two minutes for the JetDirect to obtain an IP through DHCP.
