Table 4-13Miscellaneous Settings

Item

Description

 

 

SLP Config

Enable SLP, which is used by certain client application software to automatically discover

 

and identify the HP Jetdirect print server.

 

If SLP uses multicast protocols, you must enable Multicast IPv4.

 

 

Telnet Config

Use Telnet to access to HP Jetdirect configuration parameters. For more information, see

 

TCP/IP configuration on page 14.

 

 

Bonjour

Use Bonjour services (formerly listed as Multicast Domain Name System [mDNS] services).

 

Bonjour is typically used for IP address and name resolution (through UDP port 5353)

 

where a conventional DNS server is not used.

 

For Bonjour operation, you must enable Multicast IPv4.

 

 

Multicast IPv4

Use the receipt and transmission of IP version 4 multicast packets by the print server.

 

NOTE: If disabled, other protocols that use multicast protocols, such as Bonjour and

 

SLP, might also be disabled.

 

 

9100 Config

Use port 9100 services. This is an HP-proprietary raw TCP/IP port on the HP Jetdirect

 

print server and is the default port for printing. It is accessed by HP software, such as the

 

HP Standard Port.

 

 

FTP Printing

Use FTP services available on the HP Jetdirect print server for printing. For more

 

information, see FTP printing on page 173.

 

 

LPD Printing

Use LPD services on the HP Jetdirect print server. LPD provides line printer spooling

 

services for TCP/IP systems. For more information, see LPD printing on page 163.
