There are a variety of ways to configure and monitor the network printer. This
chapter explains how to use NetManager, HP JetAdmin, HP Web JetAdmin, UNIX, or Sun
Solaris.
See Chapter 4, "Using a Web Browser" to configure the network printer via your Browser.
See Chapter 5, "Using the Sierra Sport Configurator" to configure the network printer via
Avalanche software.

This HP Windows-based utility (works transparently with JetAdmin) can be downloaded from the
HP Web site (www.hp.com).
Note: The print server does not appear in the list of configured servers unless TCP/IP or IPX
is running on the computer.

This HP utility for Windows NT Advanced Server and Windows 2000 can be downloaded from
the HP Web site (www.hp.com). Once it is installed, a web browser on any computer that has
access to the Windows NT/2000 server may be used to access the print server.

The print server includes the NetManager software for printing from Windows computers over an
802.11b/g wireless link. This software creates a network port on the Windows system, which
acts like a normal parallel port. As a result, it works transparently with any standard Windows
printer driver and application program. Since this software uses the industry-standard TCP/IP
protocol, it can be used with IP routers and other IP-based equipment.

The print server is also compatible with other methods of printing from Windows. These include
the Standard TCP/IP port option in Windows 2000/XP, and the LPR port option in Windows NT
that are built into the operating system.
U N I X N e t w o r k C o n f i g u r a t i o n
The print server appears to the network as a UNIX host computer with a unique IP address
running the line printer daemon (LPD) protocol. As a result, any host computer that supports
the Berkeley remote-lpr command can spool jobs to the print server without the need for any
special software on the host computer.
Note: Before configuring a UNIX print queue, the print server must have a valid IP address.
