The HP JetDirect Print Server Card

Introduction

The HP JetDirect print server is a card that is installed in the modular input/output (MIO) slot of a printer and allows the printer to be connected directly to a network instead of a single PC. When you use an HP JetDirect print server, you can place your printer anywhere on a network for use by multiple clients.

The HP JetDirect print server card must first be installed into the printer and then be configured for network operation. To configure the print server, you can use HP JetDirect software, or the printer’s control panel for selected printers*.
