Supported utilities for Macintosh
Embedded Web server
The device is equipped with an embedded Web server, which provides access to information about
device and network activities. This information appears in a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Apple Safari, or Firefox.
The embedded Web server resides on the device. It is not loaded on a network server.
The embedded Web server provides an interface to the device that anyone who has a network-
connected computer and a standard Web browser can use. No special software is installed or
configured, but you must have a supported Web browser on your computer. To gain access to the
embedded Web server, type the IP address for the device in the address line of the browser. (To find
the IP address, print a configuration page. For more information about printing a configuration page,
see 
Print the information pages on page 70.)
For a complete explanation of the features and functionality of the embedded Web server, see
Embedded Web server on page 77 .

							Network configuration
You might need to configure certain network parameters on the product. You can configure these
parameters from the control panel, the embedded Web server, or for most networks, from the HP Web
Jetadmin software.
Supported network protocols
The product supports the TCP/IP network protocol. It is the most widely used and accepted networking
protocol. Many networking services utilize this protocol. This product also supports IPv4 and IPv6. The
following tables list the networking services/protocols that are supported on the product.
Table 5-1  Printing
Service nameDescription
port9100 (Direct Mode)The default TCP/IP printing port on the HP Jetdirect print
server, accessed by software such as HP Standard Port
Line printer daemon (LPD)LPD provides line printer spooling services for TCP/IP
systems. Use LPD services on the HP Jetdirect print server.
WS Print Use the Microsoft Web Services for Devices (WSD) Print
services supported on the HP Jetdirect print server.
Table 5-2   Network product discovery
Service nameDescription
SLP (Service Location Protocol)Device Discovery Protocol, used to help find and configure
network devices. Used primarily by Microsoft-based software
programs.
mDNS (multicast Domain Name Service - also known as
“Rendezvous” or “Bonjour”)Device Discovery Protocol, used to help find and configure
network devices. Used primarily by Apple Macintosh-based
software programs.
WS DiscoveryAllows Microsoft WS discovery protocols on the print server.
LLMNR (TCP/IP v6)Indicates whether link local multicast name resolution
(LLMNR) requests are responded to over IPv6.
NetBIOS over TCP/IPProvides communication among applications on separate
computers within a local area network. Because the
programming interface runs through TCP/IP (NBT), each
computer in the network has both a NetBIOS name and an IP
address relevant to a host name (even though the two names
might not be the same).
DNS Client DNS domain name that the HP Jetdirect print server resides in
(for example, support.hp.com).
Table 5-3   Messaging and management
Service nameDescription
HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol)Allows Web browsers to communicate with embedded Web
server.
EWS (embedded Web server) Allows a user to manage the product through a Web browser.

Table 5-4  IP addressing
Service nameDescription
DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol)For Automatic IP address assignment. DHCP server provides
the product with an IP address. Generally requires no user
intervention for product to obtain IP address from a DHCP
server.
BOOTP (bootstrap protocol)For Automatic IP address assignment. BOOTP server
provides the product with an IP address. Requires
administrator to input the product MAC hardware address on
BOOTP server in order for product to obtain an IP address from
that server.
Auto IPFor Automatic IP address assignment. If neither a DHCP
server nor a BOOTP server is pr esent, this service allows the
product to generate a unique IP address.
Manual IPManually configure the IP address on the print server using the
printer control panel or the embedded Web server.
TelnetSet configuration parameters by using the default IP address
to create a Telnet connection from your system to the HP
Jetdirect print server. Once configured, the print server saves
the configuration when turned off and then turned on.
RARPYou can configure the print server to use RARP on UNIX and
Linux systems. Use RARP to answer the print servers RARP
request and supply the print server with the IP address. The
RARP method allows you to only configure the IP address.
ARP/PING You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP
address using the  arp command from a supported system.
The workstation from which the configuration is made must be
located on the same network segment as the HP Jetdirect print
server.
Install the product on a network
In this configuration, the product is connected directly to the network and can be configured to allow all
computers on the network to print directly to the product.
