Any benefit to a 2GB connection?

[donawalt]

I was wondering if I there is a benefit to move my HP 8600 Office Jet Pro from a 1GB Ethernet switch on our network, to a 2.5GB switch in another house location (we have 2.5GB internet service)? I think the answer is "No", I printed out the HP Network Configuration page for the printer, and it said Link Configuration is 10TX - Half. That's 10MBs half duplex, correct? So I am assuming the printer doesn't even take advantage of a full 1GB connection.

Thanks for your help!

That is correct. Most likely 10/100 Mbps onboard Ethernet adapter in the printer. You probably get better throughput with wireless connection.
