Connecting to a
network

The printer can be shared on a network using an HP Jetdirect print
server/Internet connector (LIO module) or an HP Jetdirect external print
server.

This chapter explains how to set up the printer for network printing on a
peer-to-peer or client-server network.

Peer-to-peer networks

In a peer-to-peer network, the printer software is installed on each
computer, and the system is configured to send print jobs directly to the
printer. Each individual computer manages its own print jobs. Peer-to-
peer printing is more suitable for smaller networks.
