Printer management software is available for the following systems through your Hewlett-Packard distributor or through electronic BBS channels:

UNIX (HP-UX 9.x/10.x, Sun OS 4.1.3/4.1.4, or Solaris 2.2/2.3/2.4/2.5)

Microsoft LAN Manager

To learn more about HP JetAdmin for the HP LaserJet 5Si family of printers, see the HP JetDirect Print Server Software Installation Guide.

 

HP Print Server NLM

 

The Printing System includes Hewlett-Packard’s print server network

 

loadable module (NLM), which runs on NetWare 3.x and 4.x file

 

servers. It allows a network administrator to manage and control a

 

peripheral attached to a parallel port on a NetWare file server. HP’s Print

 

Server NLM (JETPS.NLM) can be used as a replacement for Novell’s

 

PSERVER.NLM. It services print queues on one or more file servers

 

and provides the same NetWare printing functionality as HP’s JetDirect

 

products. To run the Print Server NLM, HP JetAdmin must also be

 

installed.

 

If the HP JetDirect Print Server (a hardware solution) is available, use

N o t e

 

that in preference to the HP Print Server NLM (a software solution.)

 

This provides the same services and frees the server to concentrate on

 

other tasks.

 

 

Macintosh Utilities

The Macintosh software partition on the Printing System CD is only accessible from Macintosh systems.

HP LaserJet Utility

The HP LaserJet Utility allows the network administrator to configure many printer features from the computer. This is especially helpful in a network environment when the printer is not near your desktop. With this utility you can:

Name the printer, assign it to a zone on your network, download files and fonts, and change many of the default settings

Permanently download fonts to the printer’s hard disk (if installed)

Monitor the status of networked printers

Lock the printer control panel and set a password without leaving your computer
