HP is now offering three JetDirect 300X print servers for less than the price of buying them individually, giving you the power to integrate three printers into your existing network. The Hewlett-Packard JetDirect 300X enables you to connect any printer with a parallel port to your 10/100Base-TX network. The 300X has a single high-speed, bidirectional parallel port as well as an RJ-45 Ethernet port. The JetDirect 300X OfficeConnect print servers integrate seamlessly into the 3Com OfficeConnect suite of small-business networking products. Printers connected to the HP JetDirect 300X appear as intelligent nodes on the network and are accessible through diagnostic tools using the SNMP/IPX and SNMP/IP protocols. The 300X also collects network information to assist in network management and troubleshooting.
HP makes the JetDirect 300X a breeze to install using Windows NT via the HP Install Network Printer wizard. The onboard 2 MB of flash memory means that you will be able to keep up with changing technology by simple firmware upgrades.
