End of job trapping is not supported on all HP printers. In the case where end of job trapping is not supported, HP Web Jetadmin will query the job tables once per collection period (24 hours). This may impact the accuracy of by-user reporting due to the limited size of the device job log.

Windows print drivers supplied by HP are known to support device job log entries. Windows print drivers available through Microsoft Windows operating systems may not support job log entries. Be sure to use HP model-specific drivers or the HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) when by-user tracking is required.

Using Group Policies to Set Data Collection

The Group Policies feature is a powerful new automation tool that can save you a lot of time configuring devices and HP Web Jetadmin settings. Any device group has a property known as a Group Policies. One policy that can be added to any device group’s properties is Enable Data Collection. When activating the Enable Data Collection to a device group, you must define a data collection template from the list of existing templates. Also, a trigger is specified that enables the configuration to take place either as the device is populated into the group or as the device is de-populated from the group. Multiple Enable Data Collection settings can exist on a single device group. See Group Policies on page 112.
