Product Overview
This hardware guide covers the following Hewlett-Packard print
servers:
These print servers send data to printers at speeds of up to
360 kilobytes per second, which is as fast or faster than many
internal print servers. The external print servers enhance
workgroup capability by letting you place your printers, plotters, or
HP All-in-One peripherals
1 at convenient locations directly on the
network, and by increasing network printer performance and
management.
The one-port print servers connect one printer, plotter, or
All-in-One peripheral with a parallel port to the network. These
print servers have one high-speed, bidirectional parallel port
(IEEE 1284 standard) that supports multiple network operating
systems (NOSs) (Figure 1.1).
Figure 1.1 Use an HP JetDirect 300X, 170X, or EX Plus external print
server to connect one peripheral to your network.
