Peer-to-peer (direct mode) printing

On a peer-to-peer network, dedicated network servers are not used. Instead, an HP Jetdirect-connected

network printer is installed on each client computer that sends print jobs directly to the printer.

Network protocols

For network computers and printers to communicate on a network, they must use a common language, or

network protocol. The HP Jetdirect print server can support dierent network protocols simultaneously. For a

list of supported protocols, see Supported network protocols on page 16.

TCP/IP is the most commonly used protocol in network environments.

Network address

Each device on a network must be identied by a unique network address for the specic network protocol

used. On an IP network, network addresses are congured and stored on each HP Jetdirect print server during

installation, and are listed on the HP Jetdirect conguration page for the print server.

Hardware address

Each device on a network contains a unique LAN hardware (or station) address that is assigned by the

manufacturer of the device. Because HP Jetdirect print servers connect printers to a network, each print

server contains a LAN hardware address assigned by HP.

The address consists of 12 hexadecimal digits (0 through F). The rst 6 digits uniquely identify the

manufacturer, and the second 6 digits uniquely identify the device.

The LAN hardware address is important because it might be needed to identify the printer during installation.

It is listed on the HP Jetdirect conguration page for each print server.
