I find it hard to believe that HP have not provided a standard web (server) interface to the server, so why not just use that?
</div>


<div>
I am not familiar with how to do that? &nbsp;( I would if I knew how!)
</div>


<div>
Even domestic HP printers these days have web interfaces. Check the docs for that model

Thanks, but that actually isn't much help. &nbsp;I AM connecting to the device directly and that is where I am getting the java prompts. &nbsp;It is an old forms printer that is using an HP network adaptor . &nbsp;IT is the network adaptor I am connecting to and getting the java prompts. &nbsp;Thanks again, I will wait and see if others have something for me to try..you are basically saying to do what I am already trying to do.

<div>
Well i find it difficult to believe that HP would be foolish enough to make their printer a hostage to Java (which incidentally would require it to have a web server in the first place) in order to administrate it. Let's hope that's not the case. What model is it please?
</div>


<div>
It may be possible to use telnet to access and work with your print server if you're doing basic things like updating IPs:<br />

need help overcoming java security so I can connect to a network device

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java EE

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
