PC-Connected Devices: Displays a list of discovered devices that are connected to a PC rather than connected directly to the network.

Ready Devices: Displays a list of discovered devices that are in a ready state.

Ungrouped Devices: Displays a list of discovered devices that are not assigned to any group.

Warning Devices: Displays a list of discovered devices that are in a warning state.

NOTE: If the Device Model column is blank, that device has a model name that HP Web Jetadmin does not recognize. If Unknown (Disconnected) appears in the Device Model column, the HP Jetdirect print server does not have a printer connected to it.

Groups lists are the Device Lists that display when a group is selected. These lists can be searched or filtered just as the All Devices list can be searched or filtered (Search Device Lists on page 101 or Filters and Device Lists on page 97). For more information about Groups, see Groups on page 109.

Steps for Adding or Removing Columns for Device Lists

The columns in device lists contain simple data or complex data. HP Web Jetadmin obtains most of the data that appears in these columns by querying the devices, but some of the data is specific to HP Web Jetadmin. You can use the columns to sort and customize the device lists.

There are numerous columns in HP Web Jetadmin. This number continually increases as new devices, functionality, and plug-ins are released.

Complex Data in Device Lists

Complex columns contain a summary of the data in a grid format. The heading of a complex column contains an icon that indicates an advanced tooltip is available. Hold the cursor over the data in the grid to activate the advanced tooltip feature and display more information about the data. You can also display the data in complex columns as separate columns.

The advanced tooltip displays for 1 minute or until you move the cursor outside of the tooltip. Every time you move the cursor within the tooltip, the 1 minute starts over. The information in the tooltip can also be complex. In this case, the tooltip displays a summary of the data and an icon that indicates more data is available. Hold the cursor over the data in the tooltip to activate another advanced tooltip that displays the next level of data.

Columns Dependent on HP Web Jetadmin Data

Some column data is internal to HP Web Jetadmin and is not obtained from the device, such as device status or other data specific to the local application. Examples of these columns dependent on HP Web Jetadmin data are:
