HP Jetdirect External USB CompatibilityMay 2009
Introduction
There have been some questions from customer
s about the compatibility of printers and the
HP Jetdirect External Print Server Products.
This white paper addresses those questions and
provides a list of supported printers with the
USB External Print Servers that are currently on
the Corporate Price List (CPL).
Over the years, many things have changed regard
ing external print servers and printers they
connect to. In the past, an external print serv
er was the only way to place these printers on
a network. In contrast, many printers today
come with their own embedded networking and
the USB port is used almost exclusively for direct connection to PCs. As a result, some
printers have implemented cost effective USB mo
des that are very difficult for an external
print server to support on the network.
Current Support Strategy
HP currently has four external USB products on the CPL:
J6035G 175X 10/100TX USB 1.1 External Print Server
J7988G en1700 10/100TX USB 2.0 External Print Server
J7951G ew2400 10/100TX & 802.11b/g US
B 2.0 External Print Server
J7942G en3700 10/100TX USB 2.0 External Print server
In 2009, the J6035G 175X print server will be
discontinued. This print server has been
popular, but is not upgradeable and it does
not support Hi-Speed USB. The 175x supports
whitepaper
USB 1.1 and USB 1.1 does not include Hi-Sp
eed. USB 2.0 added Hi-Speed and is fully
backward compatible with USB 1.1 in Full-Sp
eed. As a result, some of the newer USB
printers cannot be supported. Its eventual re
placement is currently available as the en1700,
an upgradeable solution that supports Hi-Sp
eed USB and also supports IPv6. The ew2400
and the en3700 which are USB 2.0 Hi-Speed will re
main on the CPL for a while as they are
respectively HP�s wireless value line external pr
int server and HP�s full featured external print
server.
Scanning on AIO and MFP�s
The HP Jetdirect External print servers do not su
pport scanning on Laserjet MFP�s. They are
currently a print only solution. The 175x, ew2400, and en3700 supported scanning
through the embedded web server for the Laserjet AIO�s and Officejet Pro�s. Many devices
have their own networking scanning software an
d no longer rely on HP JetDirects web scan
capability and in many cases no longer support it. As a result, the web scanning capability
has been removed from the en1700.
Supported Printer lists
Due to various product limitations, not all USB external print servers support the same set of
printers. In this section, I will break down the supported printers for each HP USB Jetdirect
print server. As always, be sure your firmware
on both the printer and print server is at the
latest available version.
