connecting to a network
The HP Jetdirect print server can be used in both client-server and peer-to-peer network
configurations.
peer-to-peer network
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.
client -server network
On a client-server network, client computers send print jobs to dedicated server computers that
control the use of each printer. Client-server printing is normally used in small work groups
where dedicated computer servers manage the printing needs of many users. Access the HP
Jetdirect Print Server Administrator guide on the starter CD for information to set up the printer
on a network.
The HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrator guide provides the following information:
• HP Software Solutions for HP Jetdirect print servers:
• HP Web JetAdmin, a web-based tool for managing network peripherals
• HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway for NDPS
• HP LaserJet Utility to set up printers on AppleTalk networks
• TCP/IP Configurations
