FTP Printing

Introduction

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a basic TCP/IP connectivity utility to transfer data between systems. FTP printing is a way to use FTP to send print files from a client system to an HP Jetdirect-connected printer. In an FTP printing session, the client connects and sends a print file to the HP Jetdirect FTP server which in turn passes the print file to the printer.

The HP Jetdirect FTP server can be enabled or disabled through a configuration tool, such as Telnet (see Chapter 3) or the embedded Web server (see Chapter 4).

Requirements

FTP printing described here requires the following:

TCP/IP client systems with FTP that complies with RFC 959.
