Introduction 1-11
Peer-To-Peer (Direct Mode) Printing
On a peer-to-peer network, dedicated network servers are not used.
Instead, an HP Jetdirect-connected network printer is installed on
each client computer that will send print jobs directly to the printer.
Network Protocols
For network computers and printers to communicate on a network,
they must use a common language, or “network protocol”. The HP
Jetdirect print server can support many different network protocols
simultaneously, such as TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol) and IPX (Internet Packet Exchange). For a list of
supported protocols, see Appendix B.
Network Address
Each device on a network must be identified by a unique network
address for the specific network protocol used. On an IPX network,
the network address is assigned automatically. On an IP network,
configuration and assignment of IP addresses and other IP settings
are a bit more complex. Network addresses are configured and
stored on each HP Jetdirect print server during installation, and
are listed on the HP Jetdirect configuration page for the print
server.
