printer. Note that peer-to-peer printing can be configured on a
client-server network. For example, a small workgroup might
use peer-to-peer printing even though it is connected to an
enterprise-wide client-server network.
Regardless of the network type (client-server or peer-to-peer),
your computers and printers must use a common language,
or “network protocol” to communicate with each other. The
most common protocols are IPX (Internet Packet Exchange),
made popular by Novell NetWare networks, and TCP/IP
(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), made
popular by the Internet. The HP Jetdirect 170X supports
these network protocols, including DLC/LLC, and allows your
printer to communicate on the network.
