Product Introduction

Figure 1: The HP Print Server Appliance 4200

The HP Print Server Appliance 4200 is a state-of-the-art device for managing and monitoring printing over a network. It is a network device that has been designed to provide a quick and easy way to add print capacity without affecting the general purpose server. It has several distinct advantages over conventional network printing configurations which can result in improved performance in both printing and file access. These advantages are discussed below.

Microsoft NT domain security, also known as Microsoft NT Authentication and Authority, is a feature that allows administrators to easily authorize or restrict print administration and services to specific

groups or users by using their existing username and password of the NT 4.0 domain. An NT domain is a logical grouping of network servers and other computers that share a common security and user account for each user. Users log on to the domain, not to individual servers in the domain

Installing printers on each client computer is required in order for clients to be able to print using the appliance. With the Microsoft Point and Print technology, printers are added to the appliance and associated with a factory-installed driver or a driver already added associated with a printer. Clients can be easily set up with access to that printer and its driver without having to install the driver again.

Product Overview

http://albatross.rose.hp.com/~lindsay/pdfs/english/prodover.htm (1 of 3) [6/22/2001 11:25:46 AM]

In a typical network, general purpose servers manage both the printing tasks and the file/application serving. The appliance handles the spooling and network traffic associated with printing, reducing the workload on the general purpose server.

When printing takes place at remote offices or other locations distant from the servers, the speed of printing can be degraded. A appliance installed in a remote office can dramatically increase printing performance by eliminating the need for print requests to travel from the remote office to the central site and back to a remote office printer.

An additional benefit is that if general purpose file/application servers go down, remote office users can still print many jobs directly, using the appliance.

Operation and Management

Once the appliance is configured, virtually no management tasks are required. However, system administrators can monitor print activity, manage the printers, or alter the configuration of the appliance from anywhere on the network using the appliance's web-based graphical user interface and a supported browser.

Product Description

The appliance contains a large disk drive for spooling print jobs from clients. Print jobs are stored on the disk drive. The number of print jobs is only limited by the disk space available on the appliance.

The appliance provides web-accessible printer management and configuration and spools print jobs from the following clients:

Microsoft Windows 95

●

Microsoft Windows 98● Microsoft Windows 2000● Microsoft Windows NT● Microsoft Windows ME● UNIX●

Following are some main features of the appliance:

Off-loads spooling from a UNIX or Windows NT server

Compatibitility with HP Print Servers

The appliance will work with any HP print server with firmware version x.03 and above.

Compatibitility with Other (Non-HP) Print Servers

Any print server that supports LPD should work with the appliance. The proper LPD remote queue name for the print server might have to be known. Many print servers will work without specifying a remote queue name (use the default HP PRINT SERVER setting); however, some require a special string in order to work. The LPD remote queue name can be obtained from the print server vendor.

Product Updates

When new firmware or other device-specific support information is available for the appliance, the appliance can be notified automatically. On the TCP/IP page, a field "Check for print server appliance firmware updates during each web login" can be checked to enable this feature. If this is checked and new firmware or support information is available, the picture of the applianceappliance image on the Overview page in the web interface will change.

This feature is enabled by default and can be disabled by unchecking this box. Each time an image is retrieved, it is logged like any other visit to HP's website. In addition, each request includes the serial number of the requesting unit. HP uses this to provide support information relative to the specific unit. No personally identifiable information such as user name, email address, or physical address is gathered as part of this process. HP does monitor web logs in order to understand our customers and improve our products.

Configuring the Administrator Account

Administrator Accounts Using Native NT Tools for Administration Administrator Accounts Page Adding an Administrator Account Changing the Password for an Existing Administrator Account Deleting an Administrator Account Related System Messages Troubleshooting

Administrator Accounts

Use the Administrator Accounts page to change passwords or add administrator account names. There can be multiple administrator accounts for the appliance, but all accounts have the same privileges. Any administrator can delete any other administrator's account, but the last administrator's account cannot be deleted.

The web passwords for the administrator accounts are stored on the appliance and are NOT synchronized with the NT domain controller, even if the administrator account is identical to the name of a user in the domain. Since the password used for web-based administration is sent over the network in clear text, it should be different from the one used for the NT domain.

Note: The administrator account name and password are not related to the front panel password of the appliance, which is set and changed through the front panel.

Using Native NT Tools for Administration

When NT domain authentication is enabled, and the name of one of the appliance administrator accounts matches the name of a domain user, then that domain user can use the NT tools to manage the appliance, printers, and print jobs. All NT domain administrators can use NT tools to manage the appliance, even if a domain administrator does not have an administrator account for the appliance.

When NT domain authentication is not enabled, an administrator account must be configured through the web interface using the same name and password as the account used to log into the NT or Windows 2K workstation from which the native tools will be launched.

Field Name Description

Obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP

Select this option for the appliance to be automatically configured using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Ensure that a valid DHCP server and address leases are available. If DHCP was chosen, the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway will be automatically configured.

Manually specify IP information Select this option to manually specify the IP address

information for the appliance. Each field must be entered manually.

IP address Enter an IP address without leading zeroes (for example:

"10.1.2.3"). Subnet mask Enter a subnet mask (for example: "255.0.0.0"). Default gateway Enter the IP address of the default gateway used to

access other networks or subnets. This enables the

appliance to communicate with devices (such as printers

and PCs) on different subnets.

If a gateway is not available, or if the address of the

gateway is unknown, enter the same IP address used for

the appliance, or leave this field blank (or empty). Domain Name Server (DNS) Address The DNS enables network resources (such as PCs and

printers) to be specified by by their friendly names

instead of their IP addresses. In order to use this

functionality, specify the DNS server by its IP address,

not by its friendly name. Once the DNS is specified, use

friendly names across other configuration areas of the

appliance (such as the queue configuration screen). If the

network does not have a DNS, leave this field blank (or

empty). DNS Domain Name The DNS domain name. For example, a server named

mail.hp.com (hp.com is the DNS name and mail is the

hostname).

The domain name must match standard naming

conventions. The name must be alphanumeric. It may

also contain dashes ( - ) (for example :

mycompany.com).

If the network does not have a DNS domain name,

"defaultdomain" is entered as the default.
