The HP JetDirect Print Server Card
Introduction
The HP JetDirect print server is a card that is installed in the
modular input/output (MIO) slot of a printer and allows the printer
to be connected directly to a network instead of a single PC. When
you use an HP JetDirect print server, you can place your printer
anywhere on a network for use by multiple clients.
The HP JetDirect print server card must first be installed into the
printer and then be configured for network operation. To configure
the print server, you can use HP JetDirect software, or the printer’s
control panel for selected printers*.

the following printers:
