[edit] Tips And Tricks

[edit] Network Connection

The LaserJet 5Si comes without a network adaptor, also an extension slot is provided and the firmware supports network printing. If a later added network card can not be enabled, resetting the factory settings proved to help. To do this, power off the printer, press the online button and switch on the printer while keeping the button pressed. Afterwards the network configuration should work.
