HP JetDirect Print Server Card

Description

The HP JetDirect Print Server serves two purposes, it allows you to offload your print jobs to the external server, freeing up your computer’s resources and it allowed all of your networked computers to send their print jobs to the server.  Without a print server you would have to have a dedicated computer that hosted the printer, which would have to always be on and would have to have its resources tied up any time someone sent a print job to the printer.  In a time where processors only had one core and one thread, this was a great relief.  

The HP JetDirect Print Server Card offers RJ-45 (10Base-T Ethernet), Coaxial (BNC), and LocalTalk ports at a speed of 10 Mbps.  It is primarily used in HP LaserJet models and often integrated into Agilent/HP 1100 and 1200 HPLC systems.
