Wireless printing
Wireless networks offer a safe, secure, and cost-effective alternative to traditional wired network
connections. See Ordering supplies and accessories
for a list of available wireless print servers.
IEEE 802.11b standard
With the wireless HP Jetdirect 802.11b print server, HP peripherals can be placed anywhere in the
office or home and connected to a wireless network running Microsoft, Apple, Netware, UNIX, or
Linux network operating systems. This wireless technology provides a high-quality printing
solution without the physical constraints of wiring. Peripherals can be conveniently placed
anywhere in an office or home and can be easily moved without changing network cables.
Installation is easy with the HP Install Network Printer Wizard.
HP Jetdirect 802.11b print servers are available for USB and parallel connections.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth™ wireless technology is a low-power, short-range radio technology that can be used to
wirelessly connect computers, printers, personal digital assistants, cell phones, and other devices.
Unlike infra-red technology, Bluetooth's reliance on radio signals means that devices do not have
to be in the same room, office, or cubicle with an unobstructed line of sight in order to
communicate. This wireless technology increases portability and efficiency within business
network applications.
The HP LaserJet 1150 and 1300 series printers have incorporated Bluetooth wireless technology.
Bluetooth adaptors are available for USB and parallel connections.
