1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the HP JetDirect 70X Home Print Server! You will find it to be an easy and flexible way to share a printer among all the PCs in your home. This guide provides information about installing and operating the HP JetDirect 70X. While using this manual, if you encounter some new or unfamiliar terms, see the Terms section at the end of this chapter. What's a Home Print Server? A home print server is an accessory that allows every PC in your home to share the same printer, using your existing home phoneline network. A home phoneline network allows telephone and network activity to take place at the same time. With one phone line, you can make telephone calls or connect to the Internet, even while you are printing. The Need for Home Networking Networks in businesses allow PCs to share printers and other devices. However, for the home, a network has usually been too costly and inconvenient to install. In a non-networked home with multiple PCs, each PC usually has a printer connected directly to it. Sometimes there is only one quality laser or color inkjet printer. Sometimes there is both a laser printer and a color inkjet printer. In either case, there is no easy way for family members to use all the printers. Introduction 1

What’s a Home Print Server?
A home print server is an accessory that allows every PC in your
home to share the same printer, using your existing home phoneline
network.
A home phoneline network allows telephone and network activity
to take place at the same time. With one phone line, you can make
telephone calls or connect to the Internet, even while you are
printing.
The Need for Home Networking
Networks in businesses allow PCs to share printers and other
devices. However, for the home, a network has usually been too
costly and inconvenient to install.
In a non-networked home with multiple PCs, each PC usually has

Sometimes there is only one quality laser or color inkjet printer.
Sometimes there is both a laser printer and a color inkjet printer.
In either case, there is no easy way for family members to use all
the printers.
