The HP JetDirect print server can be used in both client-server and peerto-peer network configurations. Note: The HP Business Inkjet 2250TN comes with an internal EIO JetDirect print server card preinstalled. It is recommended that the printer be shared on a network through the print server. If you do not own the HP Business Inkjet 2250TN, see the online User's Guide for instructions on installing an HP JetDirect EIO print server. Sharing the Printer on a Network Note: This procedure is for enabling a PC to use a shared printer. It assumes that the printer driver is already installed on the PC and that the printer is currently being shared on a network. In this configuration, the printer is connected directly to the parallel port of a selected computer (or server) on the network and is shared by the other computers (or clients). The server could be a computer running Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0/2000. Use this configuration only in small groups or when usage is low. The shared computer is slowed down when many users print to its shared printer. Clients can connect to the printer in three different ways: • Install the printer software from the Starter CD and connect as a client using the network installation. • Browse to the printer on the network and drag the printer to your Printers folder. The printer software is not installed on your computer; the shared computer controls the printer driver software. • Add the printer and install the software from the INF file located on your network. Ask your network administrator where the INF is located. On the Starter CD the INF files are stored in folders using the following format :\Windows\\\. 4-3

to-peer network configurations.
Note: The HP Business Inkjet 2250TN comes with an internal EIO JetDirect print

Sharing the Printer on a Network
Note: This procedure is for enabling a PC to use a shared printer. It assumes that
the printer driver is already installed on the PC and that the printer is currently
being shared on a network.
In this configuration, the printer is connected directly to the parallel port
of a selected computer (or server) on the network and is shared by the
other computers (or clients). The server could be a computer running
Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, or
Windows NT 4.0/2000.
Use this configuration only in small groups or
when usage is low. The shared computer is slowed down when many
users print to its shared printer.
Clients can connect to the printer in three different ways:
•
Install the printer software from the Starter CD and connect as a
client using the network installation.
•
Browse to the printer on the network and drag the printer to your
Printers folder. The printer software is not installed on your
computer; the shared computer controls the printer driver
software.
•
Add the printer and install the software from the INF file located
on your network. Ask your network administrator where the INF
is located.
On the Starter CD the INF files are stored in folders using the
following format <CD>:\Windows\<driver>\<OS>\<lang>.
