Introducing the HP Jetdirect
Print
Server
Introduction
HP Jetdirect print servers allow you to connect printers and other
devices directly to a network. By attaching directly to a network,
devices can be conveniently located near users. In addition, a
network connection allows data transfers to or from the device at
network speeds.
HP Jetdirect external print servers connect printers to the network
by adapting the printer’s parallel port to a network port. Depending
on the model, HP Jetdirect external print servers can connect up to
three printers to a network.
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.
