Introducing the HP Jetdirect
Print Server
Introduction
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 EIO internal print servers are installed in HP printers
that have a compatible enhanced input/output (EIO) slot.
HP Jetdirect external print servers connect printers to the network
by adapting the printer’s USB port to the network.
Note Unless otherwise specified, the term print server in
this manual refers to the HP Jetdirect print servers
and not a separate computer running print server
software.
When connected through a wireless connection to
your network, an HP Jetdirect wireless print server
provides the same printing services as Jetdirect
print servers connected by network cables.
ENWW 7
Supported Print Servers
The features and capabilities of HP Jetdirect print servers depend
on the print server’s product model and its operating firmware

ENWW Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server 9
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 SNMP and standard MIB-II (Management
Information Base) objects on both IP and IPX networks.
HP Jetdirect ew2400 print servers support an SNMP v1/v2c agent
only.
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers (such as 620n and en3700)
support an SNMP v1/v2c agent, and an SNMP v3 agent for
enhanced security.
HTTPS
The following 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.
● HP Jetdirect 620n internal print server (EIO)
● HP Jetdirect en3700 external print server
● HP Jetdirect ew2400 external wired/wireless print server
Authentication
EAP/802.1X Server-Based Authentication
As a network client, HP Jetdirect full-featured print servers (such
as 620n, en3700) 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 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.
ENWW Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server 10
Full-featured print servers support the following EAP/802.1X
method:
● 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.
The network infrastructure device that connects the print server to
the network (such as an HP Procurve switch) must also support the
EAP/802.1X method used. In conjunction 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 Chapter 4
.
Wireless Print Server Authentication
HP Jetdirect ew2400 wired/wireless external print servers do not
support server-based authentication. They are intended for
small-office networks where authentication servers are not
typically used.
However, for security on wireless networks, some form of client
authentication is highly desired. The HP Jetdirect ew2400 supports
the following wireless authentication methods:
● Shared Key. 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 access the network. Static WEP encyrption protocols are
used for network communications.
● WPA-PSK. Authentication is based on Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) standards through a Pre-Shared Key (PSK). When
selecting WPA-PSK authentication, a user-specified pass-phrase
must be entered to generate the pre-shared key. With WPA-PSK
authentication, dynamic WPA encryption protocols are used for
network communications to provide enhanced security.

Verifying Network Configuration
To verify your current network configuration, print a Jetdirect
configuration page. If you have not printed a configuration page
from your printer, see your printer documentation for instructions
(see Chapter 9
panel, make sure a
for more information). If your printer has a control
READY message appears on the control panel for
at least 1 minute, then print the page. The current configuration is
listed under “AppleTalk” on the configuration page.
Note If you have multiple printers on your network, you
need to print a configuration page to identify the
printer’s name and zone.
Renaming the Printer
The factory supplies a default name for your printer.
Hewlett-Packard highly recommends that you rename your
printer to avoid having multiple printers with similar
names on your network.
CAUTION After you have renamed the printer and have set up
print queues to that printer, use caution when
changing the printer name again. If you rename the
printer again, the queues for that printer will no
longer function.
Note The name may be up to 32 characters in length.
A warning beep indicates that an illegal character
was typed. For illegal characters, see the Help
system integrated with the software.
You can name your printer anything you like—for example,
“Michael’s LaserJet 4000.” The HP LaserJet Utility has the ability
to rename devices located in different zones, as well as the local zone
(no zones need to be present in order to use the HP LaserJet Utility).
