Follow these steps:

Manage Blocked Devices

The Blocked Devices list contains device addresses for which device discoveries are blocked. You can add devices to this list in one of two ways:

●Devices can be deleted from the All Device list with the “Delete and Block” option; the devices are then added to the Blocked Devices list.

●Devices can be added to (or removed from) the Blocked Devices list in Tools > Options > Device Management > Devices > Blocked Devices (see steps below).

If a device is on the Blocked Devices list, HP Web Jetadmin cannot discover it. If you add a device to this list through Tools > Options > Device Management > Devices > Blocked Devices, the device will still be included on the All Devices list. Devices can be identified by IP Address or Hostname. Hostname is the preferred method, since IP Addresses on devices can change.

Follow these steps:

1.On the top menu bar, access Tools > Options > Device Management > Devices > Blocked Devices.

2.To add a device to the Blocked Devices list so that it will not be found during a discovery, click Add.

3.To remove a device from the Blocked Devices list so that it can be found during a discovery, click Remove.
