So you've activated DHCP and it doesn't draw an address? My guess is the nic card then, on the 4500 it's pretty simple to swap and I don't remember them being very expensive. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I just purchased and HP OfficeJet 4500 (without wireless). When I<br>
connect it to my router I get nothing. Zip. No connection. I can use<br>
the ethernet cable and connect my laptop and get an IP address. The<br>
problem, then, seems to be in the printer. I just got it today. I've<br>
tried manually configuring the IP stuff and trying DHCP. Nada. Google<br>
has frustrated me. Do any of you have any tips for getting this thing<br>
to connect to my network?<br>
