Introducing the HP Jetdirect
Print Server
Introduction
HP Jetdirect print servers allow you to connect printers and other
devices directly to a network. By attaching a device directly to a
network, it can be installed in a convenient location and shared by
multiple users. In addition, a network connection allows data
transfers to or from the device at network speeds.
HP Jetdirect internal print servers are installed in HP printers that
have a compatible input/output (I/O) slot. HP Jetdirect external
print servers connect printers to the network by adapting the
printer’s parallel or USB port to a network port. Depending on the
model, HP Jetdirect external print servers can connect up to three
printers to a network.
Note Unless otherwise specified, the term print server in
this manual refers to the HP Jetdirect print servers
and not a separate computer running print server
software.
