HP Ew2400 - JetDirect Print Server White Paper page 2

USB 1.1 and USB 1.1 does not include Hi-Speed. USB 2.0 added Hi-Speed and is fully
backward compatible with USB 1.1 in Full-Speed. As a result, some of the newer USB
printers cannot be supported. Its eventual replacement is currently available as the en1700,
an upgradeable solution that supports Hi-Speed USB and also supports IPv6. The ew2400
and the en3700 which are USB 2.0 Hi-Speed will remain on the CPL for a while as they are
respectively HP's wireless external print server and HP's full featured external print server.
Scanning on AIO and MFP's
The HP Jetdirect External print servers do not support 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 and 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, we 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.
