Description

 

 

IPP Printing

Use IPP on the HP Jetdirect print server. If the printer is properly connected and accessible,

 

IPP allows printing to this device over the Internet (or intranet). A properly configured IPP

 

client system is also required. For information on IPP client software, see HP software

 

solutions summary on page 7.

 

 

HP XML Services

Allow access by HP Web service applications to XML-based data on the HP Jetdirect print

 

server.

 

 

Certificate Mgmt Service

Allow HP Web Jetadmin to access and service your certificate configuration.

 

 

Web Services Print

Use the Microsoft Web Services for Devices (WSD) Print services supported on the

 

HP Jetdirect print server.

 

 

WS-Discovery

Use the Microsoft Web Services Dynamic Discovery (WS Discovery) protocols on the print

 

server.

 

 

LLMNR

Indicates whether link local multicast name resolution (LLMNR) requests are responded to

 

over IPv4 and IPv6.

 

 

Link settings

(For wired 10/100/1000T Ethernet) Set the print server's link speed and communication

 

mode. The available selections depend on the print server model.

 

CAUTION: If you change the link setting, network communications with the print server

 

and network device might be lost.

 

● AUTO (default) Use auto-negotiation to configure itself with the highest link speed

 

and communication mode allowed. If auto-negotiation fails, either 100TX HALF or

 

10TX HALF is set, depending on the detected link speed of the hub/switch port. (A

 

1000T half-duplex selection is not supported.)

 

● 10T-Full10 Mbps, full-duplex operation.

 

● 10T-Half10 Mbps, half-duplex operation.

 

● 100TX-Full100 Mbps, full-duplex operation.

 

● 100TX-Half100 Mbps, half-duplex operation.

 

● 100TX-AUTOLimit auto-negotiation to a maximum link speed of 100 Mbps.

 

● 1000T FULL 1000 Mbps, full-duplex operation.

 

 

Locally Administered

(Supported print servers only) Warning: Changing the locally administered address results

Address

in the loss of connectivity to the browser.

 

Specify a locally administered address (LAA) to replace the factory assigned LAN

 

Hardware (MAC) address. If used, enter a string of exactly 12 hexadecimal digits.

 

For Ethernet print servers, the LAA address must start with hexadecimal X2, X6, XA, or XE,

 

where X is any hexadecimal digit 0 through F.

 

The default address is the factory assigned address.

 

 

Syslog Facility

Identify the source facility of a message. Typically used to identify the source of selected

 

messages during troubleshooting. By default, the HP Jetdirect print server uses LPR as the

 

source facility code. However, you can use values of local0 through local7 to isolate

 

individual or groups of print servers.

 

 

HTTP Idle Timeout

Length of time after which an idle HTTP connection is closed. Applies to the time after an

 

HTTP request or response completes. Enter from 5 to 60 seconds. The default is 15.

 

Set to zero (0) to disable. (The TCP/IP idle timeout value is used.)
