Printing system search results
1. After the Search Results page appears, click View. The results appear.
2. Click Print.
The results are printed.
Note: The Print dialog box could be hidden. If so, go to the Windows Task Bar to display the box.
Because the following print options are not supported in HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), you
cannot perform the following tasks:
• Change the Orientation to Landscape in the Print dialog box. (see “Printing” for a workaround
to this issue)
• Cancel printing after the print job has been executed, but you can access the operating systems
print queue and cancel the print job
• Cancel printing to a file
• Print selected systems, only the entire list of systems
• Print the system search results if you close the browser immediately after issuing a print request
