UPGRADING DEVICES
HP Web Jetadmin can use the images in
the repository to upgrade devices that
have older firmware. Columns can be
added to a view to indicate which
devices have older firmware (Figure 5).
The Printer Firmware Available and
Jetdirect Firmware Available columns
indicate which newer versions are
available in the repository. To decide
which printer firmware to offer, HP Web
Jetadmin compares device model and
version information in the header of the
firmware file against the information in
the firmware-download-name SNMP
object. Some printer models share the
same firmware image and thus return the
same model name in the firmware-
download-name SNMP object—this way
HP Web Jetadmin knows to offer the
same image for those models. If the
device does not support the firmware-
download-name SNMP object, HP Web
Jetadmin matches the name of the device
to the names in the firmware file header.
Once it is determined which devices to
upgrade, simply highlight those devices
and click the Firmware tab (Figure 6). A
screen appears indicating which devices
have a newer version of firmware
available. Highlight these devices and
click Update to begin the process. A new
window appears that allows users to
select which version to download for
each device or whether to skip certain
devices (Figure 7). The default operation
