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 internal print servers are installed in HP printers that have a compatible input/output (I/O) 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. For more information on HP wireless print servers, see

Appendix B

If not supplied with this product, HP network setup and management software for supported systems may be obtained 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)

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 175x and 200m print servers support an SNMP v1/v2c agent only.

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.

Value-based print servers (for example, HP Jetdirect 175x and 200m) do not support HTTPS.

ENWW Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server 11

Authentication (Wireless Print Servers)

Server-Based Authentication

HP Jetdirect 802.11b wireless print servers support popular authentication server-based methods for network access based on IEEE 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), including:

● LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol). LEAP

is a proprietary protocol from Cisco Systems, Inc. It uses passwords for mutual authentication between a client and a network authentication server. Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications.

● 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-MD5 (EAP using Message Digest Algorithm 5, RFC 1321).

EAP-MD5 is a one-way authentication protocol that authenticates the client using a password protected by the MD5 encryption algorithm.

● EAP-TLS (EAP using Transport Layer Security, RFC 2716).

EAP-TLS is a mutual authentication protocol based on X.509-compliant digital certificates for authentication of both the client and the network authentication server. Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications.

● EAP-TTLS (EAP using Tunneled Transport Layer Security).

EAP-TTLS is an EAP-TLS extension that supports:

■ mutual authentication through client and server

X.509-compliant digital certificates, or

■ one-way authentication through certificate-based server

authentication followed by tunneled password-based client authentication. For additional security, the authentication exchanges are encapsulated within TLS (Transport Layer Security).

TTLS uses dynamic encryption keys for secure communications.

ENWW Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server 12

Without an Authentication Server

For small office networks that do not have an authentication server, HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support network authentication using Extensible Authentication Protocol with a Pre-shared key (EAP/PSK). Using a pass-phrase entered by the user, the print server generates a pre-shared key used for network access and communications.

When configured for EAP/PSK authentication, the print server uses Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) dynamic encryption protocols for wireless communications.

Encryption

HP Jetdirect 802.11b wireless print servers support static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. For static WEP encryption, a network WEP key of fixed length (40/64-bit or 104/128-bit) is shared by each device on the network.

Depending on your wireless print server model, the following dynamic encryption protocols are supported:

● dynamic WEP

● Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)

Note If not supported by your HP Jetdirect wireless print

server, EAP/PSK authentication and Robust

encryption will not be displayed as a selectable

configuration option.

When dynamic encryption is used, encryption keys are periodically changed automatically and provide enhanced security because they will likely change before someone can decipher them.

In dynamic WEP encryption, each device on the wireless network is assigned a different encryption key that expires at preset intervals and is then replaced.

WPA encryption is an enhanced version of dynamic WEP and offers improved security. For example, new encryption keys are generated for fixed amounts of data (10 kilobytes) transmitted by a device on the network.

software.

Windows 2000/XP Integrated Software

On Windows 2000/XP systems, an alternative to using the HP supplied software is to use the IPP-client software integrated with Windows 2000/XP. The IPP implementation on the HP Jetdirect print server is compatible with Windows 2000/XP IPP-client software.

To set up a print path to an HP Jetdirect-connected Internet printer using the Windows 2000/XP IPP-client software, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Printers folder (click Start, select Settings, and select Printers).

2. Run the Add Printer wizard (double-click Add Printer), then click Next.

3. Select the option for a network printer and click Next.

4. Select Connect to a printer on the Internet and enter the print server’s URL:

http://IP_address[/ipp/port#]

where IP_address is the IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server. [/ipp/port#] identifies the port number on a multi-port HP Jetdirect external print server (port1, port2, or port3) that the printer is connected to (default is /ipp/port1).

Examples:

http://192.160.45.40 An IPP connection to HP Jetdirect

610N/615N internal print server with IP address 192.160.45.40. (“/ipp/port1” is assumed and not required.)

http://192.160.45.39/ipp/port2 An IPP connection to HP Jetdirect

external print server with IP address

192.160.45.39 and the printer on port 2

Then click Next.

5. You will be prompted for a printer driver (the HP Jetdirect print server does not contain printer drivers, so your system cannot automatically obtain the driver). Click OK to install the printer driver onto your system and follow the instructions on the screen. (You may need your printer CD-ROM to install the driver.)

6. To complete the print path setup, follow the instructions on the screen.

Windows Me IPP Client

The IPP implementation on the HP Jetdirect print server is compatible with Windows Me IPP-client software. The IPP client is installed from the Add-Ons folder on the Windows Me CD-ROM. For installation and setup of a Windows Me IPP client, see the instructions provided with the Windows Me CD-ROM.

Novell Supplied Software

The HP Jetdirect print server is compatible with IPP running on NetWare 5.1 with SP1 or later. For NetWare client support, refer to your NetWare technical documentation or contact Novell.

HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway for NDPS

NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services) is a printing architecture developed by Novell in partnership with Hewlett-Packard. NDPS simplifies and streamlines the administration of network printing. It eliminates the need to set up and link print queues, printer objects, and print servers. Administrators can use NDPS to manage networked printers within supported NetWare environments.

The HP IP/IPX Printer Gateway is a NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) developed by HP to provide functionality and compatibility with Novell's NDPS for full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers. Value-based print servers, such as 175x and 200m, are not supported.

The HP Gateway seamlessly integrates HP Jetdirect-attached printers into the NDPS environment. Using the HP Gateway, an administrator can view statistics, configure gateway settings, and configure printing for HP Jetdirect-connected printers.

Features

Features and benefits provided by the HP Gateway and NDPS include:

● Smart detection of printers in NetWare 5.x, 6.0 environments

● Automatic installation of printers using IP/IPX

● Tight integration with Novell's NDS and NWAdmin

● Status updates from printers

● Simplified Automatic Driver Download

● Reduced SAP Traffic

● Reduced number of required NetWare User Licenses

● Native TCP/IP printing with NetWare 5.x, 6.0
