Remote Console 1-25
Remote Console You can view and control the server from any supported web browser
(see “System Requirements” on page 1-2).
To open the remote console:
1. From the client workstation, launch the web browser.
2. Enter the URL of the RIP (for example, “http://[computername]/
hp-ripsw”).
where [computername] is the name assigned to the computer by
Windows. To find the computer name, right-click the My Computer
icon, select Properties
, and click the Computer Name tab.
This displays the remote console, which is the same interface dis-
played on the print server. Operation of the remote console is the
same as using the interface on the print server.
Note If your local area network cannot resolve the Windows
computer name, you must enter the computer’s IP
address instead of the computer name, for example:
http://123.456.78.90/hp-ripsw. The IP address of the RIP
is shown in the Server Details pane when you click the
server icon in the tree pane (see “Interface overview” on
page 1-12).
Macintosh users must use the IP address in the URL.
Since a remote console may be open on multiple workstations at once,
keep the following in mind:
• Print jobs are queued and processed in the order received, unless
the order within a queue is changed, or a job is moved between
queues (from Standard to Priority, for example).
• The last change made to any setting will be the new setting. For
example, if two persons change the route of a port, the second per-
son’s change will take precedence.
