Wireless printing
Wireless networks offer a safe, secure, and cost-effective alternative to traditional wired
network connections.
IEEE 802.11b standard
By using the wireless HP Jetdirect 802.11b external print server, HP peripherals can be
placed anywhere in the office or home and connected to a wireless network running
Microsoft, Apple, Netware, UNIX, or Linux network operating systems. This wireless
technology provides a high-quality printing solution without the physical constraints of wiring.
Peripherals can be conveniently placed anywhere in an office or home and can be easily
moved without changing network cables.
Installation is easy with the HP Install Network Printer Wizard.
HP Jetdirect 802.11b print servers are available for USB, parallel, and EIO connections. The
USB connection is available only on the HP Color LaserJet 5550.
Bluetooth
Note
Bluetooth wireless technology

is not supported for the Macintosh operating system and is
available only on the HP Color LaserJet 5550.
Bluetooth wireless technology
1
is a low-power, short-range radio technology that can be
used to wireless connect computers, printers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell
phones, and other devices.
Unlike infrared technology, Bluetooth’s reliance on radio signals means that devices do not
have to be in the same room, office, or cubicle or have an unobstructed line of sight in order
to communicate. This wireless technology increases portability and efficiency within
business network programs.
HP Color LaserJet 5550 printer models use a Bluetooth adapter (hp bt1300) to incorporate
Bluetooth wireless technology. The adapter is available for either USB or parallel
connections. The adapter has a 10-meter operation range in the 2.5 GHz ISM band and can
achieve data transfer rates up to 723 Kbps. The device supports the following Bluetooth
profiles:
● Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP)
● Serial Port Profile (SPP)
● Object Push Profile (OPP)
● Basic Imaging Profile (BIP)
● Basic Printing Profile (BPP) with xHTML-Print
