1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print
Server
HP Jetdirect print servers allow you to 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.
●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 in this manual refers to an HP Jetdirect
print server and not a separate computer running print server software.
Supported Print Servers
The features and capabilities of HP Jetdirect print servers depend on the print server's product model
and its operating firmware version. This manual describes features and capabilities for the product
models listed in the following table.

xx represents a release number. If nn appears, it is an encoded value for HP support use only.
The HP Jetdirect print server product number and installed firmware version can be identified using
various methods, including the HP Jetdirect configuration page (see HP Jetdirect Configuration
Pages), Telnet (see TCP/IP Configuration), embedded Web server (see HP Jetdirect Embedded Web
Server (V.34.xx)), and network management applications. For firmware updates, see “Firmware
Upgrades”.

For software to set up network printing on other systems, contact your system vendor.
Table 1-2 Supported Network Protocols (continued)
ENWW Supported Network Protocols 3

Security Protocols
SNMP (IP and IPX)
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used by network management applications for device
management. HP Jetdirect print servers support access to SNMP and standard MIB-II (Management
Information Base) 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.
HTTPS
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support HTTPS (Secure Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) for
secure, encrypted management communications between the embedded Web server and your Web
browser.
Authentication
EAP/802.1X Server-Based Authentication
As a network client, HP Jetdirect full-featured print servers support network access using 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 can allow or block access depending on client
authentication results.
When using an 802.1X connection, the print server supports Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
with an authentication server, such as a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC
2138) server.
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support the following EAP/802.1X methods:
●PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). PEAP 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 TLS
(Transport Layer Security). Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications.
●EAP-TLS (EAP using Transport Layer Security, RFC 2716). EAP-TLS 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, you must access the embedded Web server
through your Web browser. For more information, see HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.34.xx).
4 Chapter 1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server ENWW

IPsec/Firewall
Depending on the print server product and the printer/MFP in which it is installed, IP traffic may be
controlled (processed or discarded) by using the Internet Protocol security (IPsec, RFC 2401) or Firewall
features on the print server.
●Print servers and printers/MFPs that support IPsec may control IP traffic using both Firewall and
IPsec protection.
●If IPsec is not supported, then IP traffic may be controlled using Firewall protection.
IPsec/Firewall features provide network-layer security on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The Firewall
provides simple control of IP addresses that are permitted access. IPsec provides the additional security
benefits of authentication and encryption,
To help you configure the print server for IPsec/Firewall operation, a browser-based wizard is provided
that is accessed through the embedded Web server. For more information, see IPsec/Firewall
Configuration (V.34.xx).
Supplied Manuals
The manuals listed below provide information on your HP Jetdirect print server.
●Start or Use guides, or equivalent printer documentation (shipped with printers that have factory-
installed HP Jetdirect print servers).

Firmware Upgrades
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support firmware upgrades to allow installation of new or
enhanced features. Firmware upgrade files may be downloaded and installed on the print server over
your network. If available for your print server model, firmware upgrade files may be obtained from
Hewlett-Packard at:
http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin_firmware
ENWW Supplied Manuals 5

Firmware Installation Tools
Firmware upgrades for supported HP Jetdirect print servers may be installed over a network using one
of the following firmware installation tools:
●HP Jetdirect Download Manager (Windows). HP Jetdirect Download Manager can be downloaded
from HP online support at:
http://www.hp.com/go/dlm_sw
●HP Web Jetadmin may be used on supported systems. For more information on HP Web Jetadmin,
visit:
http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin/
●The embedded Web server resident on the print server provides a firmware upgrade feature using
your Web browser. For more information see HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.34.xx).
●FTP (File Transfer Protocol) may be used to transfer a firmware upgrade image file to the print
server. To start an FTP session, use the device IP address or host name. If a password is set, it
must be entered to log into the device. After user login, typical FTP commands to upgrade the
device are illustrated below:
ftp> bin
ftp> hash
ftp> cd /download
ftp> put <firmware image filename>
ftp>##################
##################...
ft
p
> b
y
e
where <firmware image filename> specifies the full path name. Be sure that the download
is complete before exiting the session.

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. Version 6.0 supports printer discovery on an
IPv6 network.
For wireless print servers, the wizard includes modules that allow you to first configure wireless settings
on the print server so that it can connect to your network.
Once your printers have a network connection (either through a cabled/wired connection or a wireless
connection), the wizard installs the printer on your systems or servers that will send print jobs directly
to the printer. This is called “direct-mode”, or “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, also known as “client-server” printing.
A version that runs from your system disk can be downloaded from HP online support at:

Requirements
●Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, Server 2003 on TCP/IP networks
●The proper printer software (printer driver) to use with your printer and operating system
●Printer connection to the network through an HP Jetdirect print server
