Introduction
HP JetAdmin software (version 3.3 and above) has three
components to install for Microsoft Windows NT. (Windows 2000
requires HP JetAdmin version 3.42.) The following components are
discussed in this chapter:
●
HP JetDirect Port
●
HP Desktop Status (Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 or
above only)
●
HP JetAdmin software
HP JetDirect Port
The HP JetDirect Port allows network administrators to connect a
port to a network printer and to configure the HP JetDirect print
server for that printer.
After assigning an HP JetDirect Port to a printer on a server, assign
the printer one or more drivers and a share name. Users can then
add remote printers to their
Printers
folders and specify the share
name of the printer on the server. See the sections “Configuring
Windows NT/2000 for Printing” and “Connecting to a Printer from
a Client” in this chapter for more information.
