General product information

The HP Jetdirect 175x and 310x models are external print servers with USB connections. That is, they

plug into the USB ports of printers (and multifunction peripherals) to provide network connections for

those printers.

(A label on the end of the product’s box lists printers that are tested and supported.

Newer models may also be supported.)

Each of these print servers connects to an Ethernet (IEEE 802.3i 10Base-T) or Fast Ethernet (IEEE

802.3u 100Base-TX) network, attached at the RJ-45 connector using twisted-pair cabling.

The two print servers are similar in operation and performance. The 310x offers all the features of the

175x; in addition, it supports several additional network operating systems, additional management tools,

and has upgradable firmware.

The 175x print server supports both peer-to-peer and client/server printer networking

under TCP/IP; it supports peer-to-peer printer networking under IPX/SPX (direct

mode), Apple EtherTalk, and LPD printing. Operating system support includes Windows

(95, 98, 2000, ME, NT 4.0, and XP) and MacOS (v 8.6 and later). See the section on

specifications for details of which operating systems support which protocols.

The 310x print server includes all the protocol support of the 175x, as well as

client/server support for IPX/SPX under Novell NetWare and support of DLC/LLC, FTP

and IPP printing. These protocols are, in various combinations, supported on these

operating systems: Windows (95, 98, 2000, ME, NT 4.0, and XP), MacOS, Novell

NetWare, HP-UX, Solaris (on SPARC systems), SCO UNIX, LINUX, IBM AIX, MPE-IX,

and Artisoft LANtastic. See the section on specifications for details of which operating

systems support which protocols.

Both print servers include an embedded Web server that allows remote management through a Web

browser.

The embedded Web server, which allows you to monitor and manage the print server

remotely, requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, or Netscape Navigator 5.0 or

later.

See the specifications section for more details on the print servers.

NETWORKS

What you want . . .

. . . is for all your computers to be

able to:

● Communicate -- send

and receive e-mail, and

participate in

conferences

● Share information --

transfer files among

systems, and get

information from central

databases

● Share resources -- use

shared printers,

scanners, and servers

NETWORKS

The problem is . . .

. . . standalone computers have

no way to talk to each other, so

attempts at communication fail.

NETWORKS

The solution: a local

area network

A local area network (or LAN)

provides connections that tie the

computers together and allow

them to communicate. (The most

common type of local area

network may also be referred to

as an Ethernet LAN or an

Ethernet.)

Local area networks can be

either wired (as shown here) or

wireless. We will look at the

different types in the next few

pages.

NETWORKS

Wired LANs

As the name implies, a wired

LAN connects computers (and

other network devices)

physically, using wires. A typical

LAN uses twisted-pair wiring

(similar to telephone wiring) to

connect each computer to a

central hub. The hub transmits

network communications

between computers.

Wired LANs offer high-speed

communication, as well as

reasonable security and

reliability. In general, however,

they are not as flexible as

wireless LANs.

Most wired LANs conform to the

IEEE 802.3 standard. The most

common wiring schemes use

twisted-pair wiring or thin

coaxial wiring.

NETWORKS

DETAIL

Wiring: twisted-pair

The most common wiring used

for LANs is twisted-pair wiring,

similar to the wiring used for

telephones. This wiring connects

the computers or other network

devices to a central hub. The use

of telephone-type wiring makes

it easy for the persons who

administer your telephone

wiring to administer the network

wiring as well.

RJ-45 connectors are used to

connect the twisted-pair wiring

to the computer and to the hub.

The wire for a network can be

graded in a number of

categories; Category 5 wiring is

the most popular grade. Category

5 wiring has superior electrical

characteristics, and we strongly

recommend it for all twisted-pair

networking applications. The

wire grade is usually marked on

the cable jacket.

The equipment for a twisted-pair

LAN commonly operates at a

data rate of either 10 Mbps

(megabits per second) or 100

Mbps. Category 5 wiring is

required for 100-Mbps

operation. A 10-Mbps LAN can

run on either Category 3 or

Category 5 wiring (though we

strongly recommend Category 5).

At either data rate, cables may

extend up to 100 meters (328

feet) from the hub to the

computer.

A twisted-pair network running

at 10 Mbps is called a type

10Base-T network. A twisted-

pair network running at 100

Mbps is called a type 100Base-T

network.

NETWORKS

DETAIL

Wiring: thin coax

An alternative to twisted-pair

wiring is thin coaxial cabling,

often called thin coax. This

cabling is known as RG-58A or

RG-58U cable, and has an

impedance of 50 ohms. (It looks

similar to the 75-ohm thin

coaxial cable used in television

installations, but the television

cable will not work in a network.)

The connectors used with thin

coax are BNC connectors. The

cable is a continuous cable, up to

185 meters (606 feet) long, made

up of shorter segments with BNC

connectors at each end. It

connects to computers and other

devices along its length using

BNC "T" connectors, and there is

a 50-ohm terminator at each end

of the cable. This cabling scheme

does not use a hub.

A thin coaxial LAN operates at a

data rate of 10 mbps (megabits

per second), and is known as a

type 10Base2 network.

NETWORKS

DETAIL

Computer

connections

For twisted-pair LANs: A

desktop computer connects to a

twisted-pair LAN through a

network interface card (NIC) that

resides in a slot in the computer,

or through a similar interface

built in to the computer itself.

The RJ-45 plug of the network

cable plugs into an RJ-45 jack on

the card or in the computer. A

portable computer may have a

built-in connection using an RJ-

45 jack, or it may use a PC card

that inserts into a PC card slot in

the computer. (Some PC cards

take up two slots and have room

for an RJ-45 jack that is integral

with the card; others take up only

a single slot but require a short

cable that provides the RJ-45

jack.)

For thin coaxial LANs: A

desktop computer typically

connects to a thin coaxial LAN

through a network interface card

(NIC) ; built-in BNC connections

are uncommon. Portable

computers connecting to thin

coaxial LANs use a PC card with a

short cable that provides a BNC

connection. In all cases, the LAN

cable connects to the computer

through a BNC "T" connector.

Hidden network cables and

equipment: In many network

installations, the hubs are kept in

equipment closets and the cables

are hidden in the walls. In these

installations, wall outlets with RJ-

45 jacks are the only visible

components of the network

wiring. For such a network, you

use a short length of network

cable to connect from the

computer to the wall jack.

NETWORKS

Wireless LANs

In a wireless LAN, information

travels through the air in radio-

frequency signals instead of

through wires. This makes

wireless LANs very flexible, and

setup and reconfiguration are

very easy. Communication

speeds on wireless LANs,

however, tend to be slower than

on wired LANs, and it generally

takes more work to make a

wireless LAN as secure as a

wired LAN.

Most wireless LANs conform to

one of the subsets of the IEEE

802.11 standard; the most

common subset is currently

802.11b. Data rates for 802.11b

LANs can be as high as 11 Mbps

(megabits per second). Typically

a wireless device in an 802.11b

LAN can transmit signals across

a distance of about 30 meters

(100 feet) in a semi-open office

(no walls) and still maintain a

data rate of 11 Mbps. It is

possible to extend the range to

about 100 meters (300 feet), but

at such a distance the data rate

drops off to 1 Mbps.

802.11b wireless LANs operate in

the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

There are several channels

(frequencies) that wireless LANs

can use in this range.

Government regulations

prescribe which channels may be

used in various parts of the

world.

There are two basic wireless

networking topologies --

infrastructure mode and ad hoc

mode; these are described in the

detail pages (see below).

Click on these links for

more details on wireless LAN

topologies:

● Detail: infrastructure

mode

● Detail: ad hoc mode

● Detail: standalone

peripheral connections

● Detail: computer

connections

NETWORKS

DETAIL

Infrastructure

mode

Terminology: Infrastructure

mode is referred to as a "basic

service set" (BSS). It's topology is

sometimes called a "star

topology", and it may also be

called "enterprise mode" because

it is the preferred topology for

large networks. On a network of

Apple Macintosh computers, it

may be called an "Airport

network".

Topology: In infrastructure

mode, all signals travel through

an access point. Like the hub in a

wired LAN, the access point re-

sends the incoming signals out to

the computers and other devices

on the network. (The access

point performs additional

functions when a wireless LAN is

connected to a wired LAN.)

Infrastructure mode is suitable

for wireless LANs of all sizes.

In infrastructure mode the

access point sets the channel for

all device that communicate

through it.

A wireless LAN can have

multiple access points. This can

expand the capacity of the

network and extend its range,

allowing users to roam with their

portable computers and still stay

connected to the network.

NETWORKS

DETAIL

Ad hoc mode

Terminology: Infrastructure

mode is referred to as an

"independent basic service set"

(IBSS). It is sometimes called

"peer-to-peer mode". On a

network of Apple Macintosh

computers, it may be called

"computer-to-computer mode".

Topology: In ad hoc mode the

wireless devices on a network

communicate directly with each

other, and access points are not

used. Ad hoc mode is used for

very small networks.

Performance in an ad hoc

network degrades as you add

more devices to the network;

typically, ad hoc networks

connect no more than six

devices.

In ad hoc mode you can select

the channel. Make sure that all

devices on the network are set to

the same channel.

NETWORKS

DETAIL

Standalone

peripherals

Not all wireless connections are

network connections. Though the

distinctions may often be

somewhat blurry, some wireless

technologies -- such as the

Bluetooth technology that is

becoming popular in mobile

phones and handheld computers --

are more about connecting a

computing device to a peripheral,

rather than connecting computers

and other devices in a network.

For instance, when a handheld

computer connects with a walk-

up wireless printer, or when a

mobile phone connects with a

vending machine, the interactions

between them are typical of a

standalone computer talking to a

peripheral device. In essence, the

wireless connection replaces the

cable in a standard peripheral

connection. Compared to network

connections, such wireless

peripheral connections work at

short ranges and slow speeds.

(In this tutorial, we will

concentrate on the networking

that is typified by 802.3-type

wired networks and 802.11b-type

wireless networks.)

NETWORKS

DETAIL

Computer

connections

Connections at the computer for

wireless networking connections

are simpler than wired ones just

because there are no wires to

connect.

Wireless connections are most

common in portable computers.

Increasingly, notebook

computers come with built-in

wireless networking. For

notebook computers that don't

have built-in networking, you

can plug a wireless networking

card into the computer's PC card

(PCMCIA) slot. (Wireless

networking is based on radio

technology, and in many add-on

cards the antenna protrudes

slightly from the PC card slot.)

Desktop PCs can have wireless

networking, too. A typical

arrangement is for an adapter in

a desktop PC to contain a PC

card slot, into which you plug the

same kind of wireless networking

card that you would use in a

notebook computer.

NETWORKS

Mixed LANs

Mixed LANs combine wired and

wireless LANs, taking advantage

of the strong points of each. For

example, a mixed LAN can

provide the flexible connections

of wireless with the high overall

throughput of a wired LAN. Such

an arrangement makes it

particularly easy for mobile

workers to connect their

notebook computers to the

network.

You create a mixed LAN by

plugging the network cable from

a wired LAN into a port on a

wireless access point. In addition

to acting as a hub for the wireless

portion of the network, the

access point acts as a bridge to

the wired portion. In a typical

case, when a computer with a

wireless LAN card comes within

range of the access point, it

connects through the access

point to the LAN (both the wired

and wireless portions) and to all

the computers and other

resources on the LAN.

NETWORKS

L is for Local

The "local" in "local area

network" means that the network

is in a single location. A LAN can

be small enough to serve a home

office or a small business, or it

can be large enough to serve a

school, a hospital, or a substantial

business or public office. It can

cover several buildings, as long as

they can all be connected into a

single network. Several types of

LAN equipment are available to

expand a LAN beyond the

workgroup-sized unit typically

served by a single hub.

Note that the definition of a local

area network does not include

broader networks such as the

Internet or a corporate network

with locations in many cities or

countries. These broader

networks are often called WANs,

or wide area networks. It is

possible for a LAN to connect to

such a network through a gateway

-- a device that connects different

types of networks. The gateway

can be a separate piece of

equipment, or it can include the

LAN hub. (This latter type of

gateway is becoming increasingly

common for Internet

connections, particularly for high-

speed DSL connections.)

NETWORKS

Addresses

Each device on the network has a

unique address. This allows you

to communicate with a specific

computer (or other device, such

as a printer). That way, your e-

mail doesn't go to everybody,

and your print job doesn't get

printed simultaneously on all

printers on the network.

There are several addressing

schemes for networks. Of these,

the most popular is that of the

Internet Protocol (IP). In

addition to being used on the

Internet, IP addressing can also

be used for standalone networks

that don't connect to the

Internet. The network addresses

shown in the illustration are

sample IP addresses.

Other network addressing

schemes you may encounter

include IPX (used with Novell

NetWare networks), DLC, and

AppleTalk. In this tutorial, we

limit our discussion of network

addressing to IP addressing, as it

is the most popular.

The number of possible IP

addresses is huge. So is the

number of Internet users, and

the possibility of conflicts is a

real one. If you use IP addresses

on your LAN and that LAN

connects to the Internet, you

must be careful to use addresses

that have come from a reliable

source, such as your Internet

service provider (ISP).

NETWORKS

Wireless security

Wireless networks are inherently

less secure than wired ones. In a

wired environment an intruder

needs to gain physical access to

your network wiring to break into

your network; in a wireless

environment, he just needs to be

in range of the radio waves that

carry the network traffic. Since

these waves penetrate building

walls and easily carry for tens of

meters, an intruder sitting in a

car in your parking lot could

monitor the traffic on the

wireless LAN in your building.

To frustrate intruders, a number

of standards have been

developed to make security for a

wireless network more-or-less

equivalent to that of wired

networks. These standards work

in three areas:

Network name (SSID): A

network name, or service set

identifier (SSID) is an

alphanumeric character string

that provides basic access control

on a wireless network. To

transmit onto the network, the

network name of a computer or

other device must match the

name configured into the access

point.

Authentication:

Authentication verifies the

identity of a user or device before

the user or device is allowed to

transmit onto the network. There

are several different schemes of

authentication that you might

encounter when installing an HP

Jetdirect print server:

● Open system: No

authentication.

● Shared key: Each device

uses the same shared key

(a shared password

value) for network

access.

● Server-based

authentication: A server

on the network

authenticates each client

that requests a

connection to the

network. There are

several protocols

available, all based on

the Extensible

Authentication Protocol

(EAP). Briefly described,

they are:

❍ LEAP

(Lightweight

Extensible

Authentication

Protocol) -- a

proprietary

protocol from

Cisco Systems

that uses

passwords for

mutual

authentication

(that is, the

client and the

server

authenticate

each other).

❍ PEAP

(Protected

Extensible

Authentication

Protocol) -- a

mutual

authentication

protocol that

uses digital

certificates for

server

authentication

and passwords

for client

authentication.

For additional

security, the

authentication

exchanges are

encapsulated

within TLS

(Transport Level

Security).

❍ EAP-MD5 (EAP

using Message

Digest algorithm

5) -- a one-way

authentication

protocol that

authenticates

the client using a

password

protected by the

MD5 algorithm.

❍ EAP-TLS (EAP

using Transport

Level Security) --

a mutual

authentication

protocol based

on digital

certificates.

❍ EAP-TTLS

(EAP using

Tunneled

Transport Level

Security) -- a

mutual

authentication

protocol that

uses digital

certificates for

server

authentication

and passwords

for client

authentication.

For additional

security, the

authentication

exchanges are

encapsulated

within TLS

(Transport Level

Security).

Encryption: Encryption

methods encode the traffic on the

network, rendering it

unintelligible to an intruder who

is monitoring it. WEP (wired

equivalency privacy) is an IEEE

802.11 encryption scheme that

provides basic access control and

data privacy on your wireless

network. Under WEP, you supply

encryption keys that are used to

encrypt the data stream.

In addition, some of the

authentication protocols, such as

LEAP and EAP-TLS, can manage

encryption keys for the network

administrator.

Wireless print server

security: As you set up your

wireless print server, the wireless

setup wizard will make it easy to

match the print server's security

settings to those of your network.

The wizard's help pages provide

considerable detail on the

process.

Section 2:

Network Printing

NETWORK PRINTING

Why use network

printers?

Using network printers lets you

meet your computer users'

printing needs more efficiently.

By sharing printers among

several users, you reduce the

number of printers you need.

This approach

● saves money -- there's

less equipment to buy

● saves space -- users

don't need to make

space for a printer

● saves maintenance --

fewer printers mean less

bother

all with little inconvenience to

users. (In fact, shared printers

may be convenient: nobody more

has to go without a printer or

change to a different computer

just to print; and sharing may

save enough money to let you

purchase printers with more

functions or greater speed.)

NETWORK PRINTING

Why use a print

server?

A print server provides your

printer with connection to the

network. You could get the same

connection using a computer --

your network server -- but it

would cost more and be more

complex. Using a print server

saves you money and frees up

your network server for other

tasks, such as file storage.

You might want to use a network

server for management of print

jobs, a function that may be

useful for larger networks. In

such an application you will still

probably want to use a print

server, because its small size

gives you . location flexibility

Using a print server, you can

easily place your printers near

your users, while keeping the

network server out of the way in

a central computer area. (You

will see this application in the

notes on the client/server

topology, a couple of pages later

in this tutorial.)

NETWORK PRINTING

Hardware

connections

Print servers can be internal or

external devices. Which one you

choose depends on your printer.

Internal print servers --

These are special-purpose cards

or modules that plug into the

built-in input/output slot in the

back of some printers. The slot

provides the data and power

connections for the print server,

and the network cable plugs into

the network connector on the

face of the print server.

Internal print servers come in a

variety of configurations to

match the style of your printer

slot and the type of network

connection you need.

External print servers --

External print servers are for

printers that don't have a built-in

slot. The print server is a small

module that sits next to the

printer (or mounts on the printer

using a clip) and connects to the

printer's USB or parallel port

using a standard printer cable. A

network cable plugs into the

network connector on the print

server, and a power cord

connects to a wall outlet to

provide the print server's power.

(We haven't shown the power

cord in the illustration, just to

keep the drawing simpler.)

External print servers come in

several different configurations

to match the printer's data port

(USB or parallel) and the type of

network connection you need.

Wireless print servers --

Wireless print servers come in

both internal and external

models. Their connections are

similar to the those of wired

print servers, except that there is

no network cable connection.

(An antenna in the print server

makes the radio-frequency

connection to the wireless

network.) The connection to the

printer, whether by plugging the

print server into the printer's

input/output slot or connecting a

printer cable to the printer's USB

or parallel port, is the same as

with a wired print server.

NETWORK PRINTING

Peer-to-peer

topology

There are two standard layouts

for network printing using a

print server. The first is the peer-

to-peer topology, in which a

computer sends print jobs

directly to the printer.

In peer-to-peer printing, each

computer manages the print jobs

that it generates. It checks to see

whether the printer is ready to

accept the print job, and sends

the job if the printer is free. If the

printer is not free, the computer

stores the job and keeps checking

the printer until it is ready to

accept the job. If several

computers send jobs to a printer

at the same time, printing for

some of the computers may slow

down as they spend time

checking the printer and waiting

for it to be available.

Peer-to-peer printing works well

on networks with few users. It is

appropriate for small and

medium offices, as well as large

offices that do not have heavy

printing requirements.

( To clarify the use of Note:

similar terminology, please note

the distinction between wireless

peer-to-peer mode (usually

known as "ad hoc mode") and

HP Jetdirect peer-to-peer

printing. Wireless peer-to-peer

mode refers to a topology where

wireless devices communicate

directly without going through

an access point, while HP

Jetdirect peer-to-peer printing

refers to a computer's direct

print path to a printer that does

not go through a network server.

HP Jetdirect peer-to-peer

printing can be used on both

infrastructure and ad hoc (peer-

to-peer) wireless topologies.)

NETWORK PRINTING

Client/server

topology

The second standard layout for

network printing is the

client/server topology. In this

topology, a computer sends its

print jobs to a network server,

and the server sends the print

jobs to the printer.

In client/server printing, the

network server manages the print

jobs from several computers (the

clients). As soon as a client

computer has sent a print job to

the server, it is finished with that

print job. The server keeps track

of all print jobs from there on --

figuring out the print order for

the various jobs that have been

submitted to it, checking the

printer's availability, and sending

the next job to the printer when it

is free.

Client/server printing works well

on networks with heavy printing

traffic. It is typically used in large

offices that have extensive

networking facilities.

Choosing a topology -- If you

don't know whether to use a peer-

to-peer or a client/server

topology, you may want to start

with peer-to-peer printing. It

generally takes a substantial

amount of printing traffic, or

large print jobs, to slow down

printing significantly. If your

print jobs start to take noticeably

longer to complete, you may want

to try using multiple printers,

dividing your network into

subnetworks, or switching your

office to client/server printing (in

that order).

NETWORK PRINTING

Printer drivers

The printer driver is the last

major component to consider in

network printing. This driver is

system software that converts a

document in your computer to a

form that makes sense for the

printer.

When you print from an

application on your computer, it

is the printer driver that converts

the layout on your screen to the

ones and zeros that the printer

takes as input. When the printer

receives this information, it

converts the ones and zeros into

a correctly printed page.

The installer program for

network printing needs to have

the printer driver to complete the

installation. It usually turns out

that the trickiest thing about the

installation is knowing where to

find the driver. You may be able

to find the driver on the CD that

came with your printer, on the

Web, or on your operating

system CD. If you previously had

the same printer connected

directly to your computer, the

right driver may already be on

your system. (We will provide

more information on finding and

using printer drivers in the next

section, "Installing a Network

Printer".)

Section 3:

Installing a

Network Printer

Click the button to continue.

INSTALLING A NETWORK

PRINTER

Setting up the

hardware

The first stage of installing a

network printer is setting up the

hardware. There are two steps to

this: setting up the printer

hardware and connecting the

print server.

Set up the printer hardware --

Remove any shipping materials.

Install the paper trays and ink or

toner cartridges (as appropriate).

Add paper. Plug in the power

cord and switch on the power.

Print a test page. Do not connect

the printer to your computer.

(For detailed instructions, check

your printer manual or setup

poster.)

Connect the print server --

There are a couple of different

cases to consider:

● If you use an external

print server: Switch off

the printer's power.

Connect the printer cable

(USB or parallel, as

appropriate) between the

printer and the print

server. Connect the

network cable to the

print server. Switch on

the printer's power. Plug

in the print server's

power cord. Push the

Test button on the print

server to print a

configuration page on the

printer; this tests the

connection between the

print server and the

printer. (For detailed

instructions, check your

print server manual or

setup poster.)

Note: For a wireless

print server the

connection sequence is

the same, except that

there is no network cable

to connect.

● If you use an internal

print server: Note that

many printers come with

the print server module

already installed in the

printer. If your print

server module is not

already installed: Unplug

the printer's power cord.

Plug the print server into

its slot in the printer.

Connect the network

cable to the network

connector on the print

server. Plug in the

printer's power cord.

(For detailed

instructions, check your

print server manual or

setup poster.)

Note: For a wireless

print server the

connection sequence is

the same, except that

there is no network cable

to connect.

Note: If your network wiring

is hidden -- In many network

installations, the network

components (hubs, switches, &c)

are stored in a wiring closet and

the network wiring is hidden in

the walls. The only sign of a

network that you see in such an

installation is a wall outlet that

has one or two network

connectors. In this case, make

your network connection by

connecting a network cable

between the print server and the

wall outlet. (If you have any

questions about such an

installation, check with your

network administrator.)

Note that the illustration shows

only the data connections

(network cables and printer

cable); we have omitted power

cords from the illustration to

keep the drawings simple.

INSTALLING A NETWORK PRINTER

Running the Install Network

Printer Wizard ("the installer")

But first, are you installing a wireless print

server?

If you are installing a wireless print server, you will

need to run the HP Jetdirect Wireless Setup Wizard

before running the HP Install Network Printer Wizard.

Running the Wireless Setup Wizard is an option that

appears when you insert the HP Jetdirect CD into your

Windows computer.

The Wireless Setup Wizard guides you through:

● setting your computer to connect to the print

server in wireless ad hoc (peer-to-peer) mode

● discovering your wireless printer on the

network

● setting a few wireless parameters

(communication mode, authentication, and

encryption) on the print server

Then you set your computer back to its normal

connection to your network, and continue with

installing the printer on your computer, using the

Install Network Printer Wizard.

The Install Network Printer Wizard

The next (and last) stage of installing a network printer

is using the network printing software to install the

printer on your computer.

● If you're setting up peer-to-peer

printing, you need to run the software and

install the network printer on each computer

that will print to the target printer.

● If you're setting up client/server

printing, you need to run the software and

install the network printer on the network

server and set it up for printer sharing. Then

each client computer must install the printer

driver and connect to the shared printer on the

network server. An easy way to do this is to use

the Microsoft Windows Point and Print

function. (See your operating system

documentation for details on Point and Print.)

The installer program performs several major

functions:

● detects available printers on the network

● helps set up an address for the printer you

choose

● installs the printer driver

● optionally sets up printer sharing (only

● In many cases this is the same driver that is

used for a direct (non-networked) printer

connection, and you can probably find the

driver on the CD that came with the printer.

(In fact, some printers come with the network

installer program on the printer CD. If your

printer is one of these, the simplest way to

install your network printer is to run the

installer from the printer CD instead of from

the HP Jetdirect CD, since the installer knows

where to find the driver on the printer CD. For

a list of these printers, click on this button:

● If you want to make sure of having the latest

driver for your printer, you can download it

from the Web. If your printer is an HP printer

and you are running the installer in the

"Autoconfigure network settings for me" mode,

you can select the option to download a driver

automatically from the Internet. The installer

will search the HP support site for a driver for

your printer and, if it finds one, will

automatically download it and install it for you.

If you don't select the option to download a

driver automatically from the Internet, you can

download one manually before you run the

installer. The HP support site at

http://www.hp.com/cposupport/software.html

has current drivers for most HP printers.

● You may be able to find the driver on your

operating system disc. If the operating system

is more recent than the printer, it probably

includes a driver for that printer.

● If you previously had a direct connection from

your computer to the same printer, or a

network connection to another printer of the

same model, the network printer installer may

be able to use the driver that is already on your

computer.

The installer software takes the driver location you

specify, finds the driver, and installs it in your system.

Once the installer has finished, you are ready for

network printing from your computer.

The End

When installing the network printing software, some

users are unsure when the installation is complete.

When the network printer is installed on your

computer and you can print to it, the installation is

complete.

Confusion sometimes arises in the situation when you

have two CDs -- a printer CD and the HP Jetdirect CD --

and you have just finished the installation from the

printer CD. It is common to wonder whether you

should run the installer on the Jetdirect CD as well. You

don't need to. Once your network printer prints

successfully, you're done with the installation on that

computer. (Of course, if you are installing the network

printer software for peer-to-peer printing from several

computers, you will need to run the installer from each

computer.)

INSTALLING A NETWORK PRINTER

DETAIL

Printers that include the network installer

Many newer HP printers (January 2000 or later), including multifunction peripherals (MFPs) and All-in-One devices,

include network installation software on the printer CD. If your printer is in the list below, use the printer CD for

installation.

If your printer is not identified above, or you cannot locate your printer’s CD, you should:

● First, locate your printer's driver. (The summary on the preceding page should help you.)

● Then, run the installer from the HP Jetdirect CD.

Note that if you use the HP Jetdirect CD for MFP or All-in-One devices, some features other than printing (such as

scanning and faxing) may not be accessible. Use the printer CD to get all features.

Note: An HP Web Jetadmin CD-ROM may also be included with selected HP JetDirect products. HP Web Jetadmin is a

feature-rich printer management tool. However, it is not required for network printer installation.

● No: Go to step 3.

● Yes: Use the printer CD. (It knows where to find the printer driver.) When prompted, select the

network connection option.

Step 3: Is the printer an MFP (multifunction printer) or an Officejet All-in-One printer?

● No: Go to step 4.

● Yes: Use the printer CD to install the printer as if it were connected directly to your computer;

this will install the printer driver on your computer. (You don't need to make any physical

connection with a printer cable; just specify "parallel" when asked for the port.) Then use the

Jetdirect CD to install the printer as a network printer. (This will use the printer driver that you

just installed on the computer, and will set up the print path to the printer via the network.)

Note: Only the printing function will be available over the network. Other functions, such as

scanning and faxing, will not be available over the network.

Step 4: For other HP printers or non-HP printers:

Use the Jetdirect CD to install the printer on your network. (You will need to know where your printer

driver is located. See Where do I find the printer driver? for more information.)

Note: An HP Web Jetadmin CD-ROM may also be included with selected HP Jetdirect products. HP Web

Jetadmin is a feature-rich printer management tool. However, it is not required for network printer

installation.

Where do I find the printer driver?

At some point late in the installation, the installer software needs to have the printer driver to complete

the installation. So at that point the installer may ask you where to find the driver. Knowing where to find

the driver is usually the most subtle part of the installation.

If you are running the installer from your printer CD, the installer generally knows right where to look for

the driver -- on the CD. If you are running the installer from the Jetdirect CD, the installer will probably

need you to tell it where the driver is. Here are a few places you can look:

● The best source of a driver for your printer is the Web, because that gives you the latest driver.

(The drawback of getting your driver from the Web is that some drivers are quite large, and may

take several minutes to download at modem speeds. We think it's worth spending the time.) The

HP support site at has current drivers for most HP http://www.hp.com/go/get_software

printers.

If your printer is an HP printer and you are running the installer from the HP Jetdirect CD in the

Autoconfigure network settings for me mode, you can select the option to download a driver

automatically from the Internet. The installer will search the HP support site for a driver for your

printer and, if it finds one, will automatically download it and install it for you. If you don't select

the option to download a driver automatically from the Internet, you can download one manually

before you run the installer.

● In many cases the driver is the same one that is used for a direct (non-networked) printer

connection, and you can probably find the driver on the CD that came with the printer.

In technical terms, what you need is a driver that installs using a .INF information file (rather

than installing by running a .EXE file). Make sure that your driver files include the .INF file. (If

you can't find the printer's .INF file, you may have to download the driver from the Web.)

● You may be able to find the driver on your operating system disc. If the operating system is more

recent than the printer, it probably includes a driver for that printer.

● If you previously had a direct connection from your computer to the same printer, or a network

connection to another printer of the same model, the network printer installer may be able to use

the driver that is already on your computer.

The installer software takes the driver location you specify, finds the driver, and installs it in your system.

When do I stop?

Essentially, you are finished with the installation process when you have a network printer installed on

your computer and you can print to it. That's usually when the test page prints successfully.

If you have two CDs -- a printer CD and the HP Jetdirect CD -- and you have just run the installer from

the printer CD, it's common to wonder whether you should be running the installer on the Jetdirect CD as

well. ("After all, that second CD must be there for a reason. Maybe I should run that installer, too, just to

be sure. . . .") You don't need to do that. Once your network printer prints successfully, you're done. (We

put the installer on the Jetdirect CD for situations where you can't find your printer CD, or where the

printer CD's installer doesn't deal with network printers. If your printer CD does handle network printers,

just run that installer and stop when it's done.)

Installing the print server

for HP Jetdirect 175x external print server/Internet connector for USB

and HP Jetdirect 310x external print server/Internet connector for USB

Overview of installation

1. Install hardware

Summary: To connect the printer to the network using the 175x or 310x print server,

you will:

● connect the print server to the network with a network cable,

● connect the print server to the printer with the included USB cable,

● plug in the power adapter, and

● print a configuration (self-test) page.

Use the instructions at either of the following locations:

● The printed poster that is supplied with the print server.Startup Guide

● On this web page below—the .detailed instructions

2. Install software

● For the basic procedure to set up each Windows (95, 98, 2000, XP, ME, NT 4.0) computer

for printing on the networked printer:

This default procedure involves installing printer drivers and other software and configuring

network parameters. You will use the installation software on either the CD-ROM supplied with

your printer or on the Jetdirect CD-ROM supplied with your print server, depending on your

printer model.

Link here to the instructions.

And for more details see www.hp.com/support/network-printer-CD.

● For the LPR/LPD (Line Printer Daemon) alternative printing method:

See the LPD topic in the HP Jetdirect Administrator’s Guide.

● For Macintosh setup (MacOS 8.6 or later), read the Jetdirect CD-ROM on a Macintosh system,

select the file , and follow the instructions for setting up network Network Printing.htm

printing.

Steps to install the print server hardware

1. Attach the print server to a 10Base-T (Ethernet) or 100Base-TX (Fast Ethernet) local area

network by plugging a network cable into the RJ-45 connector on the rear end of the print server.

2. Attach the print server to the printer by plugging the Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable—shipped

with the print server—into the USB connector on the front end of the print server and into the

USB connector on the printer.

❍ Caution! Unsupported USB Devices:

■ HP 4135A Jetdirect Connectivity Card

■ any USB hub

■ any USB-to-parallel converter

■ any USB cable extender

3. Plug the DC power cord from the power module—shipped with the print server—into the power

connector on the rear end of the print server . Plug the power module into a power outlet.

❍ Caution! Do not use the power module shipped

with your print server with any products!other

4. Verify the print server’s LEDs:

❍ The 10 or 100 LED on the rear end of the print server lights green to indicate the

connection speed.

❍ The power/status LED on the top front begins blinking and within 15 seconds is solid

green, to indicate the server passed its self test.

❍ A solid green USB LED on the top front indicates a good USB-II connection, as

illustrated above.

If your LEDs are solid green, see not interpreting the LEDs and diagnosing problems

5. Verify the connection with the printer by printing a configuration (test) page:

Briefly press and release the test button on the rear end of the print server. The page should

soon emerge from the attached printer.

Interpreting the configuration page and diagnosing problems

If the page does not appear on the printer, or if it is unreadable, go to this Troubleshooting page,

and then return to this User’s Guide to continue with the installation.
