JetDirect is the most common Socket API, and a de facto standard, introduced by Hewlett-Packard. It allows a TCP/IP connection via port 9100 to a printer attached to a Local Area Network similar to a connection to its serial or parallel port. Windows supports this protocol as Standard TCP/IP port monitor for print server attached print devices.
