•Client Server Network Connection: Connect your printer to a network via the parallel port of an HP JetDirect External Print Server and share the printer from a Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 3.12, 4.11, or 5.0 server on your network. Clients print through a Windows NT or NetWare server. See “Client Server Network Connection” on page 10 for details.
Note: Clients on a network do not have access to the CompactFlash or SmartMedia card slots. Clients only have the capability to print. Host PCs in a locally shared configuration will have access to the card slots, only if software is loaded from setup.exe.
2 Locally Shared Printer Connection
In the locally shared configuration, the printer is connected directly to the parallel port of a selected computer that functions as a host to other computers on the network. To locally share your printer, the printer software must be installed on the host computer and on each client computer.
