The Hawking HPS1P 10/100M Internet Print Server is a powerful and convenient tool to connect your parallel printer to a 10/100M Network. Use the HPS1P to connect your single parallel port printer to your home or office network. The Hawking HPS1P combined with the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) lets you easily connect to the HPS1P and print documents by specifying the print server's IP address. With IPP technology, printing over a WAN or the Internet becomes much easier. You can send a print job to a printer in another country just as easily as sending a print job to your home or office printer. IPP eliminates the need for fax communications between offices by simply printing an original document over the Internet and sending it from one office to another without the degradation of image and text quality that fax machines produce. With the HPS1P, your printer becomes a fully functional easy-to-use network print station.
