Field Names
Description
IP Address or Hostname
IP address or hostname of the printer that will be servicing the print
jobs in this queue. This may be the DNS name or the IP address of the
network printer (for example, hpprinter.mycomputer.com or
192.0.0.192) . In order to use the DNS name, a DNS server address
must be configured on the appliance in the TCP/IP Network Settings
page.
The name must be alphanumeric and can contain dashes ( - ) and
periods (.).
Network Connection:
HP JetDirect internal card or single-port external box: Select
this if the printer has an internal HP JetDirect print server card,
or is connected to an external single-port HP JetDirect print
server.
■
HP JetDirect 3-port external box: Some external HP print
servers support more than one printer (for example, the HP
JetDirect 500X). For these cases, choose which port the printer
is connected to.
■
Other print server: Select this option if the target print server is
not an HP JetDirect print server. Many print servers will work
with the default selections of Hewlett-Packard JetDirect Print
Server selected. If, however, the print jobs do not appear on the
printer, select this option and complete "Remote Queue Name"
with the remote queue name recommended by the print server
manufacturer. Refer to the lpr or UNIX printing section of the
print server manual.
