HP Jetdirect External USB Compatibility
Introduction
There have been some questions from customers about the compatibility of printers and the
HP Jetdirect External Print Server Products. This white paper addresses those questions and
provides a list of supported printers with the USB External Print Servers that are currently on
the Corporate Price List (CPL).

HP currently has four external USB products on the CPL:
J6035G 175X 10/100TX USB 1.1 External Print Server
J7988G en1700 10/100TX USB 2.0 External Print Server
J7951G ew2400 10/100TX & 802.11b/g USB 2.0 External Print Server
J7942G en3700 10/100TX USB 2.0 External Print server
