1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect print server
HP Jetdirect print servers connect printers and other devices directly to a network. By attaching a device
directly to a network, you can install it in a convenient location and share it with multiple users. In addition,
a network connection allows data transfers to or from the device at network speeds. The following
HP Jetdirect print server types are available:
●HP Jetdirect embedded print servers are integrated with a supported printer or multifunction
peripheral (MFP). Because they are built directly into the printer's mother board, the print server
cannot be independently purchased or replaced. However, depending on the printer (or MFP), they
are assigned an HP part number for compatibility and identification purposes.
●HP Jetdirect EIO internal print servers are modular I/O cards installed in HP printers (or MFPs) that
have a compatible enhanced input/output (EIO) slot.
●HP Jetdirect external print servers connect printers (or MFPs) to the network by adapting a printer's
input/output connector, such as a USB port, to the network.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, the term print server refers to an HP Jetdirect print server and not
a separate computer running print server software.

2For software documentation and support, contact your network system vendor.
If HP network setup and management software for supported systems is not supplied, obtain it from HP
support at:
http://www.hp.com/support/net_printing
For software to set up network printing on other systems, contact your system vendor.
Security protocols
SNMP (IP and IPX)
Simple network management protocol (SNMP) is used by network management applications for device
management. HP Jetdirect print servers support access to SNMP and standard management
information base (MIB-II) objects on IPv4, IPv6 and IPX networks.
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support an SNMP v1/v2c agent, and an SNMP v3 agent for
enhanced security.
Value-featured print servers support an SNMP v1/v2c agent only.
HTTPS
Both full-featured and value-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support secure hypertext transfer
protocol (HTTPS) for secure, encrypted management communications between the embedded Web
server and your Web browser.
Table 1-2 Supported network protocols (continued)
ENWW Security protocols 3

Authentication
EAP/802.1X server-based authentication
As a network client, HP Jetdirect full-featured print servers support network use with the extensible
authentication protocol (EAP) on an IEEE 802.1X network. The IEEE 802.1X standard provides a port-
based authentication protocol where a network port allows or blocks use, depending on client
authentication results.
When using an 802.1X connection, the print server supports EAP with an authentication server, such
as a remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS, RFC 2138) server.
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support the following EAP/802.1X methods:
●LEAP (lightweight EAP) is a proprietary Cisco Systems protocol that uses passwords for mutual
authentication (the client and the server authenticate each other).
●PEAP (protected EAP) is a mutual authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for network
server authentication and passwords for client authentication. For additional security, the
authentication exchanges are encapsulated within transport layer security (TLS). Dynamic
encryption keys are used for secure communications.
●EAP-TLS (RFC 2716) is a mutual authentication protocol based on X.509v3–compliant digital
certificates for authentication of both the client and the network authentication server. Dynamic
encryption keys are used for secure communications.
The network infrastructure device that connects the print server to the network (such as a network
switch) must also support the EAP/802.1X method used. In cooperation with the authentication server,
the infrastructure device can control the degree of network access and services available to the print
server client.
To configure the print server for EAP/802.1X authentication, use the embedded Web server through
your Web browser. For more information, see Embedded Web server (V.38.xx) on page 61.
Wireless print server authentication
HP Jetdirect wired/wireless print servers support several wireless authentication methods, which include
the following:
●WEP Authentication is based on a secret, common wired equivalent privacy (WEP) key that must
be configured on each wireless device. A device that does not have the proper WEP key cannot
use the network. Static WEP encryption protocols are used for network communications.
●WPA/WPA2–Personal Uses wi-fi protected access (WPA) standards through a pre-shared key.
A user-specified passphrase must be entered to generate the pre-shared key. Dynamic WPA
encryption protocols are used for network communications to provide enhanced security.
●WPA/WPA2–Enterprise Requires 802.1X credentials to use the wireless network. A dedicated
server verifies the identity of the user or device that is requesting network use. There are several
available protocols.
IPsec/Firewall
IPsec/Firewall features provide network-layer security on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. A firewall
provides simple control of IP traffic, which is either permitted access or discarded. IPsec, RFC 2401
provides additional protection through authentication and encryption protocols.
4 Chapter 1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect print server ENWW

The IPsec/Firewall capabilities depend on the HP Jetdirect print server product and the printer/MFP in
which it is installed. The following capabilities are available:
●Value-featured print servers do not support IPsec/Firewall operation.
●Full-featured print servers and printers/MFPs that support IPsec can control IP traffic by using both
firewall and IPsec protection.
●Full-featured print servers and printers/MFPs that do not support IPsec can control IP traffic using
firewall protection only.
To configure the print server for IPsec/Firewall operation, use the embedded Web server through your
browser. For more information, see IPsec/Firewall configuration (V.38.xx) on page 97.

HP Install Network Printer Wizard (Windows)
The HP Install Network Printer Wizard is a utility for printer discovery, setup and installation on a TCP/
IP network. On Windows XP and 2003 Server systems, Version 5.0 also supports printing on an IPv6
network, but printer discovery is limited to IPv4 protocols. Versions 6.0 and 7.0 support printer discovery
on an IPv6 network.
On wireless print servers, first configure wireless settings on the print server so that it can connect to
your network.
Once your printers have a network connection (either wired or wireless), the wizard installs the printer
on your systems or servers that send print jobs directly to the printer. This is called direct-mode (peer-
to-peer) printing.
If your system is a server, you can share the printer so that network clients can use the printer through
the server. This is called client-server printing.
You can download a version that runs from your system disk from HP online support at:
http://www.hp.com/go/inpw_sw
Requirements
NOTE: For HP Jetdirect wired/wireless print servers used in a wireless environment, a network cable
connection for configuring the wireless settings is recommended. Once the settings are configured, you
can remove the cable.
To configure wireless settings without a cable, you need a computer containing a wireless interface
card, that is either built-in or installed in an I/O slot. For detailed instructions, see the Setup guide
provided with your print server.

HP Web Jetadmin is an enterprise management tool for remotely installing, configuring, and managing
a wide variety of HP and non-HP network printing devices using a standard Web browser. Use HP Web
Jetadmin to proactively manage both individual or groups of devices.
HP Web Jetadmin supports devices that contain standard printer MIB objects for common management.
Because it is well-integrated with HP Jetdirect print servers and HP printers, HP Web Jetadmin can
provide enhanced management features.
To use HP Web Jetadmin, see the online help and documentation supplied with the software.
System requirements
HP Web Jetadmin software runs on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, Windows
Server 2003, Windows Vista, and selected Linux (Fedora Core and SuSE Linux) systems. For
information on supported operating systems, clients, and compatible browser versions, visit HP online
support at: http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.
NOTE: When HP Web Jetadmin is installed on a supported host server, you can gain access to it from
any client through a compatible Web browser (browse to the HP Web Jetadmin host). This allows printer
installation and management on Novell NetWare and other networks.

number assigned during installation. By default, the port number is 8000.
●Provide access to HP Web Jetadmin software by adding a link to your Web server's home page
that is addressed to HP Web Jetadmin's URL. For example:
http://systemname.domain:port/
Configure and modify a device
Using your browser, navigate to HP Web Jetadmin's URL. For example:
http://systemname.domain:port/
NOTE: In place of systemname.domain, you can use the IPv4 address of the host computer on
which HP Web Jetadmin is installed.
Follow the instructions on the appropriate home page to find and manage your printer.
Remove HP Web Jetadmin software
To remove HP Web Jetadmin software from your Web server, use the uninstall program provided with
the software package.
Internet Printer Connection software
(For full-featured print servers only) HP Jetdirect print servers support IPP and Secure IPP.
Using the appropriate software on your system, you can create an IPP print path from your system to
a supported HP Jetdirect-connected printer over the Internet.
NOTE: Security features available in IPP printing software are limited. For incoming print path
requests, the network administrator must configure the network firewall to accept incoming IPP requests.
Secure IPP connections over HTTPS (Secure HTTP) is supported.
The following features and benefits are provided by Internet printing:
●Print high-quality, time-sensitive documents remotely, in full color or black-and-white
●Print documents remotely at a fraction of the cost of current methods (such as fax, mail, or overnight
delivery services)
●Extend the traditional LAN printing model to that of an Internet printing model
●Transmit IPP outbound print send requests through firewalls
