OVERVIEW

HP Web Jetadmin is a printer management solution capable of discovering many different printing

device models from various vendors. After HP Web Jetadmin discovers a printing device, the

additional functions that can be performed and the device details that can be viewed depend on

several factors listed here.

GENERIC SUPPORT

HP Web Jetadmin uses a variety of techniques in its queries to gather information from printing

devices. How much information is displayed and what functionality is provided depends solely on the

device’s ability to answer the queries. HP Web Jetadmin always attempts to query a generic set of

objects as defined in the common management information bases (MIBs), such as the Standard Printer

MIB (RFC 1759), whether it be HP or third-party devices. Devices that cannot answer queries defined

in common MIBs generally display very little information in HP Web Jetadmin, if they are discovered

at all. For HP printing devices, HP Web Jetadmin has knowledge of proprietary HP MIB objects that

can provide a much higher level of support. Earlier models of HP devices might not support many of

the advanced features of HP Web Jetadmin.

DEVICE PLUG-INS

Device plug-ins in HP Web

Jetadmin define what is

displayed for a particular

device model. Features

such as Status page

information (Figure 1),

alerts, firmware upgrades,

configuration options, and

columns are displayed as

a result of a discreet

device plug-in instructing

HP Web Jetadmin that the

items are available for

each model. A bitmap image is hardcoded into each discreet plug-in to provide a matching picture of

the device. Capabilities are hardcoded into the plug-in to define what are potentially installed on

each device. When configuration templates are created through the configuration template wizard,

each desired device model can be preselected so HP Web Jetadmin only offers configuration items

that pertain to each selected model. The discreet plug-in defines which configuration options are

displayed for each model.

Discreet plug-ins are added to HP Web Jetadmin to coincide with the release of each printer to offer

any new features the printer might introduce and to provide at least the same support experience as

the previous model that the new model replaced. If an older version of HP Web Jetadmin is being

used when a new printer releases, since the discreet plug-in is not included in HP Web Jetadmin yet,

only very limited support is provided through a generic plug-in. HP Web Jetadmin must be upgraded

in order to receive a full feature set for each new model.
