HP Jetdirect print servers
The HP Jetdirect print servers facilitate network management by allowing you to connect a printer
directly to your network at any location. They support multiple network protocols and operating systems.
HP Jetdirect print servers also support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which
provides network managers with remote printer management and troubleshooting through HP Web
Jetadmin software.
The HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp series is equipped with an embedded HP Jetdirect print server. The
server supports Ethernet 10/100-TX network connections. An HP Jetdirect EIO print server can also be
installed in the HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp series EIO slot to allow an additional network connection.
NOTE Installation of an EIO print server and network configuration should be performed by a
network administrator. Network configuration is performed using installation software, the MFP
control panel, embedded Web server, or network management software.
NOTE Refer to the HP Jetdirect print server documentation for information on supported EIO
network print servers.
For more information on supported networks and network configuration tools, refer to the HP Jetdirect
Print Server Administrator’s Guide, or visit HP Customer Care online at

AppleTalk networks
Use the HP LaserJet Utility to set up the MFP on an EtherTalk network. For more information, refer to
the HP Jetdirect Print Server Administrator’s Guide included with printers equipped with the
HP Jetdirect print server.
UNIX/Linux networks
Use the HP Jetdirect printer installer for UNIX utility to set up the MFP on HP-UX or Sun Solaris networks.
