IEEE 802.11b standard

With the wireless HP Jetdirect 802.11b print server, HP peripherals can be placed anywhere in the office or home and connected to a wireless network running Microsoft, Apple, Netware, UNIX, or Linux network operating systems. This wireless technology provides a high-quality printing solution without the physical constraints of wiring. Peripherals can be conveniently placed anywhere in an office or home and can be easily moved without changing network cables.

Installation is easy with the HP Install Network Printer Wizard.

HP Jetdirect 802.11b print servers are available for USB and parallel connections.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth™ wireless technology is a low-power, short-range radio technology that can be used to wirelessly connect computers, printers, personal digital assistants, cell phones, and other devices.

Unlike infra-red technology, Bluetooth's reliance on radio signals means that devices do not have to be in the same room, office, or cubicle with an unobstructed line of sight in order to communicate. This wireless technology increases portability and efficiency within business network applications.

The HP LaserJet 1150 and 1300 series printers have incorporated Bluetooth wireless technology. Bluetooth adaptors are available for USB and parallel connections.
