Glossary for Network printing terms and concepts
Client-server printing
On a client-server network, client computers send print jobs to a dedicated network server that controls the use of each
installed printer. The HP Jetdirect print server receives print jobs over the network under the network server’s control, or can
automatically monitor print queues and de-spool print jobs from the network 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 conguration page for each print server.
Network address
Each device on a network must be identied by a unique network address for the specic network protocol used. On an IP
network, network addresses are congured and stored on each HP Jetdirect print server during installation, and are listed on
the HP Jetdirect conguration page for the print server.
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 dierent network protocols simultaneously. For a list of supported protocols, see
"Supported network protocols".
TCP/IP is the most commonly used protocol in network environments.
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.
