    [Misc] Best way to add a second Jet Direct to an HP M608 and M611 Models

    As you know there is only one embedded Jet Direct on these. What is the best option?
    USB device server? Can you recommend a specific model. I called hp and they knew less than I do.
    My customer wants it to be to be hard wired not wireless. I saw on the Specs the option for a wireless server but it doesn't have an RJ45 connection.
    They are printing two different applications and want it to be separate. Any help is appreciated, thanks

              That should work just fine. External USB JetDirect accessory.

                  What exactly is the customer trying to do?

                  Unless they're trying to print from two network segments that have no connection to each other there has to be a better solution for what they want to accomplish.

                          I have a situation like this with one customer. They share their space with a subsidiary company with two separate networks, but they needed to share printers so I have a few older HP's that could take two internal JetDirect cards and a few external cards for other devices. Trays are dedicated to each company (one only uses yellow paper for some kind of documentation).

                          Still curious what the OP's customer is trying to accomplish.
