requirements.

(Note: To clarify the use
of similar terminology,
please note the distinction
between wireless peer-to-
peer mode (usually known
as "ad hoc mode") and HP
Jetdirect peer-to-peer
printing. Wireless peer-to-
peer mode refers to a
topology where wireless
devices communicate
directly without going
through an access point,
while HP Jetdirect peer-to-
peer printing refers to a
computer's direct print
path to a printer that does
not go through a network
server. HP Jetdirect peer-
to-peer printing can be
used on both
infrastructure and ad hoc
(peer-to-peer) wireless
topologies.)
