Management and Configuration
Exceptions Even though the Axis Network Print Server is fully compatible with the HP JetAdmin tool, the Axis Network Print Server behaves differently than an HP print server in certain situations. The exceptions from the traditional HP JetAdmin functionality are presented below.
The print server concept HP JetAdmin considers each printer port of the HP print server as an independent print server. One physical HP print server will act as one or three print servers depending on the number of supported printer ports. HP JetAdmin always considers the Axis Network Print Server as one print server, independent of the number of supported ports. The effects of this different behavior are:
•You can change a printer port’s properties from any of the Axis Network Print Server printer ports’ property pages. This can not be done with an HP print server.
•If you are performing a reset on one of the Axis Network Print Server printer ports, all three ports will be reset.
•From each port you can view all print queues connected to the print server and not only the queues connected to the specific printer port. To be able to distinguish between the queues, they must be named <queue_name>!<logical_printer_number>.
•The Axis Network Print Server printer ports have the same name. They are only distinguished by suffixes. If you change the name on one of the Axis Network Print Server printer ports, all three port names will be changed.
Note that the port names displayed in HP JetAdmin will not change until one of the refresh commands in the Device Refresh menu has been performed.
