These icons enable helpdesk staff to quickly find devices in need of attention. Groups with red or
yellow arrows at the right-hand side indicate a su/jointfilesconvert/516768/bgroup in an error or warning state. Navigating into
the group’s su/jointfilesconvert/516768/bgroup structure allows quick discovery of problematic devices. Finally, automatic
groups can be distinguished from manual groups by observing the chain links on the right-hand side
of the group. This indicates that an automatic group is bound by a filter.
TROUBLESHOOTING DEVICES
Once a device has been located by helpdesk personnel, a variety of troubleshooting options are
made available by HP Web Jetadmin to solve the problem remotely, rather than physically traveling
to the device—potentially saving significant time and energy. Most of these troubleshooting features
can be found in the Troubleshoot tab on any device list or device group (Figure 7).
Print Test Page
From the Troubleshoot tab, users can print a test page using the Print Test Page button (Figure 7).
Users can either print a standard test page or an actual file. Printing from file allows users to browse
to a local file and then send it to the printer port 9100. This feature can be used as a ping test for
determining whether network communication is possible to the device, and whether the problem lies
with the print queue versus the device itself.
Detailed status
This feature shows all status messages available from the device.
Embedded Web Server
The Embedded Web Server (EWS) button allows users to launch the device’s EWS interface in a
browser session. For new HP devices, interfaces contain tools and other detailed information that
have not yet been implemented in HP Web Jetadmin.
