Understanding the print server’s features and benefits

If you purchased an HP JetDirect 175X with your

HP LaserJet 1200 printer, you can perform the following tasks:

●Enhance workgroup productivity by placing your printer at a convenient location on the network while improving network printer performance.

●Connect your printer directly to the network.

●Share scan and print functions with others on the network.

Note	You can only attach one printer to the print server. Do not use a USB
	hub to attach more than one printer.

Using network protocols

	The HP JetDirect 175X supports the following protocols:
	● TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
	● IPX/SPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange)
	● AppleTalk
Note	IPX/SPX is not supported on Novell networks. You must configure the
	HP JetDirect print server for a direct peer-to-peer connection from the
	computer to the device rather than through a Novell server. This is
	sometimes called IPX direct mode.
	If you are setting up client-server printing on a Microsoft
	Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000 network, you can use the
	installation software to configure your Windows 95, 98, NT,
	or 2000 print server and then share the printer with client
	computers.
	If you are setting up peer-to-peer printing on a Microsoft
	Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000 network, you can use the
	installation software to configure each client to print directly to
	the printer.
