HP JetDirect EX Plus Single-Port External Print Server

 

This is an auction for the HP JetDirect EX Plus Single-Port External Print Server, Model J2591A. This legendary device from Hewlett-Packard was a market leader in print server solutions, designed to bring virtually any parallel-port equipped printer onto a modern (at the time) local area network (LAN). It is an ideal piece of equipment for IT collectors, enthusiasts, or organizations that require reliable, multi-protocol support for legacy printing hardware.

 

The HP JetDirect EX Plus allows you to easily share a single printer across a complex, mixed-OS network environment. It boasts a "True Multi-Protocol Printing" capability, allowing seamless integration with a wide array of network operating systems.

  • Model: HP JetDirect EX Plus (J2591A)

  • Printer Connectivity: Single parallel port for connection to any standard parallel-interface printer.

  • Network Interface: BNC (Thin coaxial cable) or AUI (Thick coaxial cable) port (Requires an external transceiver for 10Base-T/RJ-45 connection, which may not be included).

  • Performance: Capable of printing files up to 6 times faster than earlier print server models due to its high-speed bidirectional parallel port.

  • Management: Fully compatible with HP JetAdmin Print Server Management Software for easy installation, configuration, and status monitoring across the network.

 

Multi-Platform Network Operating System Support

 

One of the greatest strengths of the HP JetDirect EX Plus is its extensive support for a diverse range of operating environments, ensuring network printing access for all connected users:

  • Microsoft Windows 95, 3.x, NT, Workgroups, and LAN Manager

  • Novell NetWare (IPX/SPX)

  • HP LAN Manager

  • IBM LAN Server

  • TCP/IP environments (UNIX, SunOS, SCO UNIX, and others)

  • AppleTalk/EtherTalk for Mac OS
