Compatibility with HP Print Servers
The PSA will work with any HP print server with firmware version x.03 and above.
Compatibility with Other (Non-HP) Print Servers
Any print server that supports LPD should work with the PSA. The proper LPD remote queue name for the print
server might have to be known. Many print servers will work without specifying a remote queue name (use the
default HP PRINT SERVER setting); however, some require a special string in order to work. The LPD remote queue
name can be obtained from the print server vendor.
Product Updates
When new firmware or other device-specific support information is available for the PSA, the PSA can be notified
automatically. On the TCP/IP and DNS page, a field Check for print server PSA firmware updates during
each web login can be checked to enable this feature. If this is checked and new firmware or support information
is available, the picture of the PSA image on the Overview page in the web interface will change.
