3.8
Owner's of the HP (Hewlett-Packard) Printer HP Officejet Pro 8100 N811A Inkjet Printer gave it a score of 3.8 out of 5. Here's how the scores stacked up:
1. WPS PIN: Shows the WPS PIN for you to set up the printer on your wireless network
using the PIN Method.
2. General Information: Shows information about the current status and active
connection type of the network, and other information, such as the URL of the
embedded web server.
3. 802.3 Wired: Shows information about the active Ethernet network connection, such
as the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, as well as the hardware address
of the printer.
4. 802.11 Wireless: Shows information about your wireless network connection, such
as the hostname, IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and server.
5. Miscellaneous: Shows information about more advanced network settings.
• Port 9100: The printer supports raw IP printing through TCP Port 9100. This HP-
proprietary TCP/IP port on the printer is the default port for printing. It is accessed
by HP software (for example, the HP Standard Port).
• LPD: Line Printer Daemon (LPD) refers to the protocol and programs associated
with line-printer spooling services that may be installed on various TCP/IP
systems.
NOTE: The LPD functionality can be used with any host implementation of
LPD that complies with the RFC 1179 document. The process for configuring
printer spoolers, however, might differ. See your system documentation for
information about configuring these systems.
• Bonjour: Bonjour services (which use mDNS, or Multicast Domain Name
System) are typically used on small networks for IP address and name resolution
(through UDP port 5353), where a conventional DNS server is not used.
• SLP: Service Location Protocol (SLP) is an Internet standard network protocol
that provides a framework to allow networking applications to discover the
existence, location, and configuration of networked services in enterprise
networks. This protocol simplifies discovery and use of network resources such
as printers, web servers, fax machines, video cameras, files systems, backup
devices (tape drives), databases, directories, mail servers, calendars.
• Microsoft Web Services: Enable or disable the Microsoft Web Services Dynamic
Discovery (WS Discovery) protocols or Microsoft Web Services for Devices
(WSD) Print services supported on the printer. Disable unused print services to
prevent access through those services.
NOTE: For more information about WS Discovery and WSD Print, visit
www.microsoft.com.
• SNMP: SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used by network
management applications for device management. The printer supports SNMPv1
protocol on IP networks.
• WINS: If you have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on your
network, the printer automatically obtains its IP address from that server and
registers its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name
services as long as a WINS server IP address has been specified.
• IPP: Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is a standard network protocol for remote
printing. Unlike other remote IP-based protocols, IPP supports access control,
authentication, and encryption, allowing for more secure printing.
