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 internal print servers are installed in HP printers that have a compatible input/output (I/O) slot. 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.
