I have manually set the IP address using the control panel on my HP lj 
4si, following instructions for a different model HP from the net.

press MENU until you see
MIO MENU 2, press Item until you see
CFG Network - change from No to Yes by hitting +
Enter (not select or resume as for other printers)
press ITEM until you see CFG TCP/IP - change from No to Yes with +
Enter
Bootp - change from Yes to No
(or leave as Yes to use with dhcp or bootpb instead of fixed IP address;
this stays set to No until you change it back any time later)
Enter
ITEM - press until you see IP BYTE 1 = 172 (in my case)
Hit + (or shift and + for -) to increase by one.  I changed this to 192.
(Factory default?  For the other printer that was 169)  - or just hit ITEM 
again if you don't want to change it.
Enter
Item - press to see IP BYTE 2, repeate steps to change bytes 2, 3, 4
Enter, Menu

Print out the configuration if you don't have a paper jam.  GO through the 
process again to view the values on the control panel instead.

My settings were permanently changed as desired.  I don't need Windows 
Software, or a printout.

I do still need to clear the paper jam to test if I can ftp (or netcat) a 
PS or PCL file to the printer.  How would I print only one page of a PS 
file via ftp?

Here is what I got from the website.  What script would delete the spaces 
in front of each line?  (I could not find a way to save without this, even 
by setting links to no frames or tables).  I hand deleted about 10 spaces 
from each line with down arrow and DEL.
---------------------------

To configure TCP/IP parameters from the control panel, use the following 
instructions:


                    1. Press the MENU button until HP MIO 1 (or 2), or HP EIO 
1 (or 2) appears.
                    2. Press the ITEM button until CFG NETWORK = NO appears.
                    3. Press the PLUS or VALUE button until CFG NETWORK = YES 
appears.

                NOTE: The CFG NETWORK = XXX (XXX being YES or NO) is a 
toggle, not a permanent setting. Changing it to YES allows the settings to be 
changed at that time. It will
                appear as CFG NETWORK = NO each time this menu is accessed.

                    4. Press SELECT or RESUME [or ENTER].
                    5. Press ITEM repeatedly until CFG TCP/IP = NO appears.
                    6. Press the PLUS or VALUE button until CFG TCP/IP = YES 
appears.

                    NOTE: The CFG TCP/IP = XXX (XXX being YES or NO) is a 
toggle, not a permanent setting. Changing it to YES allows the settings to be 
changed at that time. It will
                    appear as CFG TCP/IP = NO each time this menu is accessed.

                    7. Press SELECT or RESUME.
                    8. Press the ITEM repeatedly until BOOTP = YES* appears.
                    9. Press the PLUS or VALUE button until BOOTP = NO 
appears.

                     NOTE: When using BootP or DHCP, keep the setting BOOTP = 
YES *. The BootP or DHCP server will configure the TCP/IP parameters on the 
HP Jetdirect. No other TCP/IP
                     configuring is necessary.

                     10. Press SELECT or RESUME.

                     The following two steps apply to the HP Jetdirect 610n 
cards only:
                     DHCP=YES appears.
                     Press the PLUS or VALUE button until DHCP = NO appears.
                     NOTE: When using DHCP, keep the setting DHCP = YES *. 
The DHCP server will configure the TCP/IP parameters on the HP Jetdirect. No 
other TCP/IP configuring is
                     necessary.

                     11.Press SELECT or RESUME.
                     12. Press ITEM until IP BYTE 1 = (value*) appears.

                     13. Press the PLUS or VALUE button, until the desired 
value of the first byte of the IP address appears. By pressing and holding 
the PLUS or VALUE button, the value
                     will scroll rapidly (HP LaserJet 4000, 5000, and 8000 
printers have a MINUS button to decrease the value).
                     14. Press SELECT or RESUME to save the value.
                     15. Press ITEM to continue. Repeat Steps 11-13 to 
configure the remaining bytes of the IP address.

                     Repeat Steps 11-13 to configure the subnet mask bytes 
(SM BYTE 1=), syslog server IP address (LG BYTE 1=), default gateway (GW BYTE 
1=), and timeout (TIMEOUT=).

                     Press ONLINE, GO or MENU. Print a self-test page to 
verify the IP settings.

                     If the test page does not show the correct settings, 
power cycle the printer and reprint the test page.

                     Basic Configurable TCP/IP parameters
                      The following TCP/IP parameters can be configured using 
the front panel of the printer. The different models and firmware revisions 
of HP Jetdirect print servers have
                     different capabilities and therefore different menus. 
Also, some menu items will only appear if the HP Jetdirect is connected to 
the network and configured (e.g., by
                     DHCP) therefore the list of items below are not what you 
supposed to have available; rather, it is a description of those menu items 
that you might see on your
                     particular printer:

                     Config Method: Allows you to choose between the 
available configuration methods for IP addresses (DHCP, BOOTP, etc.)
                     BootP= (Yes/No). Uses BOOTP or DHCP, which automatically 
downloads configuration data over the network. The default setting is YES to 
use BOOTP or DHCP for
                     configuration. Change this to NO to use the front-panel 
configuration.

                     DHCP=(Yes/No). Uses DHCP, which automatically downloads 
configuration data over the network. The default setting is YES to use DHCP 
for configuration. Change this to
                     NO to use the front-panel configuration.

                     Auto IP= (Yes/No). For firmware versions x.25.xx or 
newer. If you choose BOOTP=NO* and DHCP=NO*, you can choose AUTO IP=YES* to 
have a link-local default IP address
                     of 169.254.x.x assigned automatically.

                     Manual: (Yes/No). Allows the IP address to be configured 
using the front panel of the printer.

                     DHCP Release. Only if the HP Jetdirect is configured by 
DHCP, this menu item will appear to release the IP address.

                     DHCP Renew. Only if the HP Jetdirect is configured by 
DHCP, this menu item will appear to renew or the IP address.
                     Host Name. Allows the host name to be entered in using 
the front panel of the printer. This only appears on certain printers with 
certain firmware and HP Jetdirect
                     print servers with x.24.06 or newer firmware. Basically 
if the option isn't on the menu, the printer/print server combination does 
not have it available.

                     Secure Web or Web= (HTTP/HTTPS). Sets the type of 
protocol used to access the embedded web server of the HP Jetdirect.
                     IP address (four bytes). This is usually seen on the 
front panel as IP BYTE. For example: If the IP address is 192.0.0.192, then 
IP byte 1 = 192, IP byte 2= 0, IP
                     byte 3 = 0, and IP byte 4 = 192.

                     Subnet mask (four bytes). This is usually seen on the 
front panel as SM BYTE. Example: If the subnet mask address is 255.255.255.0, 
then IP byte 1 = 255, IP byte 2=
                     255, IP byte 3 = 255, and IP byte 4 = 0.

                     Syslog server IP address (four bytes). This is usually 
seen on the front panel as LG BYTE. Example: If the syslog IP address is 
192.30.40.192, then IP byte 1 = 192,
                     IP byte 2= 30, IP byte 3 = 40, and IP byte 4 = 192. If 
no syslog server is on the network, each byte should be left at zero. A 
syslog server is a server on the
                     network that runs a syslog daemon and is used to receive 
syslog messages. This may be useful in identifying error conditions.

                     Default gateway (four bytes). This is usually seen on 
the front panel as GW BYTE. Example: If the Gateway IP address is 
192.0.0.192, then IP byte 1 = 192, IP byte 2=
                     0, IP byte 3 = 0, and IP byte 4 = 192.

                     Timeout=. Sets the TCP connection timeout (in seconds).
