HP JetDirect EX Plus J2591A Print Server

The HP JetDirect EX Plus J2591A connects a parallel printer to an Ethernet network, letting multiple users share the device without a dedicated host computer. It suits small offices or workgroups that need to add network capability to an existing printer.

External Print Server for Shared Printing

The external print server plugs into the printer’s parallel port and the network jack, removing the requirement for a locally attached PC to stay powered on. This arrangement reduces cable clutter around the printer and allows the unit to be placed wherever the network drop is available.

Questions about this item

Will the J2591A print server require any firmware updates or hardware replacements over time?

The unit has no user-serviceable parts and no scheduled maintenance; firmware updates are released by HP only when needed for security or compatibility.

What limits sustained print throughput on the J2591A during long jobs?

The parallel port's maximum data rate and the server's internal processing speed set the practical ceiling for continuous printing.
