1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server HP Jetdirect print servers allow you to connect printers and other devices directly to a network. By attaching a device directly to a network, you can install it in a convenient location and share it with multiple users. In addition, a network connection allows data transfers to or from the device at network speeds. HP Jetdirect EIO internal print servers are installed in HP printers that have a compatible enhanced input/output (EIO) slot. HP Jetdirect external print servers connect printers to the network by adapting the printer's USB port to the network. When connected through a wireless connection to your network, an HP Jetdirect wireless print server provides similar printing services as Jetdirect print servers connected by network cables. 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. Supported Print Servers The features and capabilities of HP Jetdirect print servers depend on the print server's product model and its operating firmware version. This manual describes features and capabilities for the product models listed in the following table.

Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print
Server
HP Jetdirect print servers allow you to connect printers and other devices directly to a network. By
attaching a device directly to a network, you can install it in a convenient location and share it with
multiple users. In addition, a network connection allows data transfers to or from the device at
network speeds.
HP Jetdirect EIO internal print servers are installed in HP printers that have a compatible enhanced
input/output (EIO) slot. HP Jetdirect external print servers connect printers to the network by
adapting the printer's USB port to the network.
When connected through a wireless connection to your network, an HP Jetdirect wireless print server
provides similar printing services as Jetdirect print servers connected by network cables.
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.
Supported Print Servers
The features and capabilities of HP Jetdirect print servers depend on the print server's product model
and its operating firmware version. This manual describes features and capabilities for the product
