If they are compatible, you could try moving the JetDirect card from the old printer to the new printer. &nbsp;The parameters (including the IP address) are stored in flash memory on the JetDirect card, I believe. &nbsp;But the users will probably still need new drivers.<br />

I just used the existing driver and it seems to have all the functionality it needs.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I am replacing a shared printer which is in our office. &nbsp;It is a HP Laserjet 2100, and it is being replaced by a HP Laserjet 2420. &nbsp;They are both equipped with a Jet Direct card for network access. &nbsp;Currently the 2100 is being shared by a Windows 2000 Server. &nbsp;Is there anyway to replace the printer with no user interaction? &nbsp;I would like the printer to keep the existing IP address and just push out a new driver to the users. <br />
<br />
Thanks.

Replacing Shared Printer

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
