HP Web Jetadmin Client's Sleep State

Users gain access to HP Web Jetadmin through a local .NET client application. The application runs on any supported client desktop. The first time a client accesses the HP Web Jetadmin server, HP Web Jetadmin installs client files and launches a Windows client session. This client session communicates with the HP Web Jetadmin application as it runs on the server. Client application files are left in the users’ Local Settings directory, and the application updates the files as needed. You can run the server and client applications on the same host or different hosts.

For more information about the hardware and software requirements for the client application, see System Requirements on page 1.
