From the front panel, step to the EIO 2 JetDirect Menu, Change CFG Network from NO to YES using Value button and save using Select button.  Now you can step through the IP config settings and input the IP address.

Hope this is of help to you.

Page 138 Appendix D – System administrator guide

Reaching the embedded Web server
You can reach the product’s home page through the embedded Web server by entering
the product’s IP address, or through HP Web JetAdmin.
Note HP Web JetAdmin is not included in the product installation software, but can be
downloaded from the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.
In the embedded Web server, you can:
 set up a support contact and support URLs.
 set up a password to control who can remotely access the networking pages.
 view general network status information, including network statistics stored on the
print server.

Configuring and verifying an IP address
TCP/IP addresses can be assigned and configured on an HP Jetdirect print server using
several options:
 HP Web JetAdmin
 HP JetAdmin for Windows
 embedded Web server
TCP/IP assignment
The system administrator or primary user is responsible for determining the TCP/IP
address for a specific print server. If you are unsure what the TCP/IP address should be
or if you are unfamiliar with using TCP/IP on a network, go to the HP Web site at http://
www.hp.com. Click Search in the upper left corner of the Web page and search for TCP/
IP Overview.

Automatic discovery
The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series is equipped with an HP Jetdirect network card. All
HP Jetdirect print servers have a default TCP/IP address of 192.0.0.192. During product
installation, your network server will automatically update the default HP IP address to
an address available for use on your network. To determine the new system IP address,
print a configuration page and check the TCP/IP status and address.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
When the HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series is turned on, the HP Jetdirect print server
broadcasts DHCP requests. DHCP automatically downloads an IP address from a
network server. DHCP servers maintain a fixed set of IP addresses and only loan an IP
address to the print server. Consult your operating system documentation to set up
DHCP service on your network.

Verifying the TCP/IP configuration
Print a configuration page from the control panel or the external print server. Check the
TCP/IP status and the TCP/IP addresses. If the information is incorrect, check your
hardware connections (cables, hubs, routers, or switches) or recheck the validity of the
TCP/IP address.

Changing an IP address
Use the following procedures if you have to change the product’s TCP/IP address for any
reason.

HP Web JetAdmin
Open HP Web JetAdmin. Enter the TCP/IP address in the Quick Device Search, and
click GO. At the top menu bar, follow this procedure for discovery options.
1 Choose the drop-down menu and click Devices.
2 From the drop-down menu, click New Devices. Click GO.
3 Click the column header of your choice (such as IP Address or Device Model) to
arrange the list of available devices in ascending or descending order.
4 Highlight the product to configure, and click Open Device.
5 From the sub-menu at the top of the HP Web JetAdmin screen, click Configuration.
6 Click the network link located on the left side of the configuration screen.
7 Enter the new IP information. You might have to scroll down for more options.
8 Click Apply to save the settings.
9 Click the Refresh button located next to the question mark on the right side of the
screen.
10 Verify the IP information by clicking Status Diagnostics or by printing a
configuration page.

Embedded Web server
The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series has an embedded Web server that can be used to
modify the TCP/IP parameters. To use the embedded Web server, the HP Jetdirect print
server must have an IP address already configured. On a network, this is done
automatically during initial product installation.
 Using a supported Web browser, enter the current IP address of the HP Jetdirect
print server as the URL.
 The HP Jetdirect main Web page will appear. Click Administration. From this page,
you can modify the TCP/IP addresses and, if necessary, the community name.

The printer does not even have a JetDirect menu and when i print a configuration page, there is no network information.  Does this mean that maybe the JetDirect card is bad?

If you have an internal network card you should be able to toggle the Menu button to the left  and see JetDirect EIO. If you don't see this menu option then the 4100 is not recognizing the cand.
Unplug the printer. Look at the back of the printer loosen the screws holding the JetDirect card (It will say JetDirect) Remove the card and reinsert. Boot the printer and check again for the EIO Menu If this still fails things are getting bleak. remove the card and remove the cover for the second slot insert the card in the second slot boot and hope. If this works you have a bad slot and a grim outlook for the printer syatem board. it may work for years but it will not be trustworthy.
At this point if the EIO menu option has not appeared you are looking at a either a bad system board or JetDirect card. The easiest way to test is to have a second similar printer and card. If you can see the EIO menu on the second printer the card is good and your printer has a bad interface. If no EIO menu appears you have a bad card.
To test the printer use a good card and look for the EIO menu.
If you haven't figured out the EIO menu is automatic with a Jetdirect card. An external print server like a gray or white box outside the print device enclosure will not deliver the EIO menu.
Once you can get this menu option use kbratton1 or SteveG00000 to set up the IP
