Incompatible Peripherals
Even though they provide a standard parallel port, several
kinds of HP printers are not supported for Jetdirect networking
on traditional networks due to incompatibility or lack of
necessary features.
Graphical Device Interface (GDI) printers, also called host-
based printers, are not supported. These printers conform to the
Windows GDI standard for representing and transmitting
graphical objects, and rely on the computer’s processor to
rasterize print jobs.
Printer Performance Architecture (PPA) printers, used by some
HP Deskjet printers, are not supported. PPA printers handle
only basic printer functions, relying on computer printer
software for formatting and other functions.
Both GDI and PPA printers do not support the Page Description
Languages (PDLs) required for communications with the print
server.
Examples of incompatible printers are listed in
Table C.1
. This
list should not be considered complete or current.
