HP Desktop Status

HP Desktop Status provides printer information to users and administrators. Printer information includes printer status, capabilities, and diagnostic information about the HP JetDirect print server.

HP Desktop Status is accessed through a Taskbar icon that is automatically added to the desktop when a new printer that uses HP JetDirect Port is added to the Printers folder. The HP Desktop Status icons change color (green, yellow, red) to represent the HP JetDirect print server's current status.

Peer-to-Peer

With the HP JetAdmin for Windows 95/98 software, users on a peer-to-peer configured network (also known as direct mode) who want access to the network printer can add the network printer to their systems and use the printer as if it was their own. This capability is provided by HP JetAdmin’s Direct Mode.

If you are running clients on Novell NetWare, see the chapter “Novell NetWare Networks (Windows 9x & NT/2000 Client).”

Note

If you are using your printer for both Direct Mode

 

and NetWare Server Mode, use the same print

 

server name for both systems. Otherwise, the

 

NetWare connection to the printer will be lost.
