Product Introduction

Figure 1: The HP Print Server PSA 4250

The HP Print Server Appliance 4250 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 user name 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 PSA. With the Microsoft Point and Print technology, printers are added to the PSA and associated with a factory-installed driver or a driver already 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.

In a typical network, general purpose servers manage both the printing tasks and the file/application serving. The PSA 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 PSA 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 PSA.

Operation and Management

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

Web Jetadmin plug-ins have been designed to configure and manage multiple PSAs. The Web Jetadmin plug-ins for PSA firmware version 2.4.x. are dependent on Web Jetadmin (version 7.2). The Web Jetadmin plug-ins provide LAN administrators and IT managers a single tool to manage their printing environment. The plug-ins provide the following management capabilities for the PSA:

● Automated migration of printers from Microsoft Windows servers

● Automated migration of existing printer connections on Microsoft Windows clients

● Auto-discovery of PSAs

● Batch configuration of most settings

● Remote print path creation

● Remote management of printer drivers

● Central device status reporting

● Scheduled batch firmware upgrades

● Scheduled backup/restore of configuration settings

Product Description

The PSA 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 PSA.

The PSA 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

● Microsoft Windows XP

● UNIX

Following are some main features of the PSA:

● Off-loads spooling from a UNIX or Windows NT server

Compatibility with HP Print Servers

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

Compatibility with Other (Non-HP) Print Servers

Any print server that supports LPD should work with the PSA. 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 PSA, the PSA can be notified automatically. On the TCP/IP and DNS page, a field Check for print server PSA 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 PSA 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.

Links to related documents:

Troubleshooting the Appliance

Installing printers on each client computer is required in order for clients to be able to print using the PSA.

Note: Hewlett-Packard recommends verifying installation with one client computer before configuring more clients. This will confirm operation. It is easier to troubleshoot settings on one client computer than on many.

Installing Printers on Microsoft Clients (the Microsoft Point and Print feature)

Use one of the following procedures to install printers on each client computer (this feature is only supported on an x86 PC running Microsoft Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2K, or XP). Before you begin, check the following:

● The PSA is installed on the network and properly configured.

● Each client workstation is connected to the network.

● The printers are set up and turned on.

For Windows 9x, ME, NT, and 2K:

1. On the client workstation, click Tools in Microsoft's Explorer and select Find… Computer. Type the name or IP address of the PSA. Or, find the PSA in the Network Neighborhood.

2. Open the Printers folder.

3. Right-click on the printer to install.

4. Select Install from the drop-down menu.

5. For Windows NT, 2000, and XP clients, driver installation is complete. For Windows 95, 98, and ME clients, a wizard will ask several things (for example, Do you want to print from DOS, and so forth.).

Or:

1. On the client workstation, click Start-->Settings-->Printers.

2. Double-click the Add Printer icon.

3. Select the Network print server radio button.

4. Select the PSA and printer from the list box. Or, type the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path (for example: "\\spooler1\printer1"). See Microsoft documentation for more information about UNC. Click OK.

5. Answer subsequent questions to complete the driver installation.

For Windows XP:

1. On the client workstation, click Start and then choose My Computer. Under Other Places, click My Network Places. Now click Search on the toolbar and type the name or IP address of the PSA.

2. Double-click the PSA that was found. This will expand into a list of printers available on the PSA.

3. Right-click on the printer and click Connect to install. The printer should now be in the printers and faxes folder.

Or:

1. On the client workstation, click Start and then choose Printers and Faxes.

2. Under Printer Tasks select Add a printer.Double-click the Add Printer icon.

3. Select the Network print server radio button.

4. Select the Connect to this printer radio button and type the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path (for example: "\\spooler1\printer1"). See Microsoft documentation for more information about UNC. Click Next.

5. Answer subsequent questions to complete the driver installation.

Bypassing Point and Print

Installing printers on each client computer is required in order for clients to be able to print using the PSA. With the Microsoft Point and Print technology, when a printer is added to a client, an associated driver is automatically installed on the client also. This helps make printer installation easy. However, the driver associated with a given printer can only be managed at an administrator level, so changes to that driver such as enabling duplex or changing the driver itself will be reflected on all Windows NT, 2K, and XP clients using that printer; only one driver can be associated with a given printer.

In order to bypass this functionality, clients can install a local printer that uses a local port to print through the PSA.

Note: This requires the client to install a driver locally. Because the installed printer is viewed by the computer as a local printer, it will not receive job status feedback from the PSA. For example, if the printer on the PSA has been paused, the client printer will not reflect this and it may look like a job was printed when it was not.

To install a local printer with local driver that prints through the PSA, follow the following steps.

For Windows 2000 and XP Clients:

1. Start the Add Printer wizard (in Windows 2000 or XP).

2. Click Next.

3. On the Local or Network Printer screen, select Local printer and then click Next. Note: On this screen, make sure Automatically detect and install any Plug and Play printer is not

selected.

4. On the Select the Printer Port screen, select Create a new port and then select Local Port as the Type. Click Next.

5. On the Port Name screen, type the UNC name for the printer in the following format and click OK:

\\<psa_name>\<printer_name> (where "psa_name" is the name of the PSA and "printer_name" is the name of the printer)

6. On the screen showing printer manufacturers and printers, select a printer driver and then click Next.

7. On the Name Your Printer screen, specify a printer name and then click Next.

8. On the Printer Sharing screen, select Do not share this printer and then click Next.

9. On the Print Test Page screen, click Next.

10. Click Finish.

For Windows NT Clients:

Note: Before you begin, make sure you have Microsoft's Service Pack 6a (or greater) installed on the client(s).

1. Start the Add Printer wizard (in Windows NT).

2. Select My Computer and click Next.

3. On the screen showing available ports, click on the Add Port button.

4. On the Printer Ports screen, select Local Port and then click New Port.

5. On the Port Name screen, type the UNC name for the printer in the following format and click OK: \\<psa_name>\<printer_name> (where "psa_name" is the name of the PSA and "printer_name" is the

name of the printer)

6. Click OK.

7. On the Printer Ports screen, click Close.

8. On the screen showing available ports, select your newly created port and click Next.

9. On the screen showing printer manufacturers and printers, select a printer driver and then click Next.

10. On the screen asking for a printer name, enter your printer name and click Next.

11. On the screen referring to printer sharing, select Not Shared and click Next.

12. Click Finish.

Configuring Printing for UNIX Clients

The following topics are discussed in the section:

● configuring print queues for BSD-like systems

● configuring print queues using SAM (HP-UX systems)

● printing a test file

A print queue must be set up for each printer or printer personality (text, PCL, or PostScript) used.

If printing text documents from UNIX clients to an HP Jetdirect print server, a special queue must be configured on the PSA. First add the printer through the Print Share page in the web interface. On the Identify Printer page, for

connectivity select Other and then specify the Remote Queue Name. For the remote queue name on the target printer, TEXT must be specified (or TEXT2, TEXT3 for multi-port Jetdirect print servers). This must be done even though the target printer is an HP Jetdirect device. Use the normal print queue when printing jobs that have been formatted with a printer-specific page description language such as PDL (like PostScript) or PCL.

Configuring Print Queues for BSD-like Systems

If the printer supports automatic language switching, the application may select the printer language using commands embedded in the print data.

Make sure users know the printer names for the printers, since they will have to enter those names on the

command line for printing.

Following is an example of configuring print queues for BSD-like systems (for example, Linux):

1. Edit the /etc/printcap file to include the following entries:

printer_name:\ :lp=:\ :rm=print_appliance_name:\ :rp=remote_printername_argument:\ (this should be the same as the printer name on the appliance) :lf=/var/spool/lpd/error_log_filename:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/printername:\ :sh:

where printer_name is the name of the printer on the local computer. , print_appliance_name identifies the printer on the network, and remote_printername_argument is the print queue designation on the appliance.

For more information on printcap, see the printcap man page in the UNIX documentation.

2. Create the spooling directory by making the following entries. As the root user, enter:

cd /var/spool/lpd mkdir printername chown root printername chgrp lp printername chmod 755 printername

where printername is the name of the printer on the local computer.

Configuring Print Queues Using SAM (HP-UX Systems)

On HP-UX systems, the SAM utility can be used to configure remote print queues for printing.

Before the SAM program is executed, select an IP address for the appliance and set up an entry in the /etc/hosts file on the system running HP-UX. (This is not required if DNS is configured.)

1. Start the SAM utility as a super user.

2. Select Printers/Plotters from the Peripheral Devices menu.

3. Select LP Spooler.

4. Select Printers/Plotters from the Printers/Plotters menu.

5. Select Action from the top menu and then select Add Remote Printer or Plotter.

6. Complete the Add Remote Printer/Plotter screen.

❍ The Printer Name field should be the local printer name. ❍ Be sure to check the box Remote Printer is on a BSD System.

7. Click OK.

8. Select Exit from the List menu.

9. Exit SAM.

Printing a Test File

To verify that the printer and PSA connections are correct, print a test file.

1. At the UNIX prompt type:

lp -dprintername file_name

or on a BSD-like system:

lpr -Pprintername file_name

where printername is the name of the printer as added to the appliance, and file_name is the file to be printed.

2. To get print queue status, type the following at the prompt:

lpstat printername

or on a BSD-like system:

lpq -Pprintername

where printername is the designated printer. Example: lpq -Pappliance1

These procedures explain how to configure an Internet Protocol (IP) address on the PSA using the front panel. (The TCP/

IP and DNS page in the web interface can also be used to do the same.) Configuring the IP address allows the PSA to

route print tasks properly.

If the network does not use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), use the front panel of the PSA to manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

Configuring the IP Address

Display Action

To begin configuring the IP address, press once.

Press again.

Select the mode by pressing or to toggle between Manual and DHCP.

Press to continue.

If Manual: Use the number buttons on the front panel of the PSA to enter the IP address. Then press

If DHCP: Press to continue.

If Manual: Use the number buttons on the front panel of the PSA to enter the subnet mask. Press

If DHCP: Press to continue.

If Manual: Use the numbers on the front panel of the PSA to enter the default gateway. Press

If DHCP: Press to continue.

Press .

After a moment, the PSA will resume displaying normal operating messages if the IP address is valid.

Configuring the Link Speed and Duplex Mode Using the Front Panel

These procedures explain how to configure the link speed (100 Mbps or 10 Mbps) and the duplex mode (full or half) for the PSA using the front panel. This can be done manually or the settings can be automatically detected (which is the default). The link speed is the speed at which the PSA communicates over the network. The speed is expressed in megabits per second and is either 10 or 100. The duplex mode defines whether data can be sent at the same time it is received:

● Full duplex: data can flow both directions at the same time

● Half duplex: data can only flow one way at a time and any attempt to do both at the same time creates a

collision.

The current setting is displayed on the System Summary page (under Maintenance in the web interface).

Display Action

To begin configuring the link speed and duplex mode for the PSA, press once.

Press to skip the IP configuration and to go to the Link Speed and Duplex Mode configuration.

Press .

Select the link mode by pressing or to toggle between Manual and Auto Detect.

Press to being configuring the link speed.

If Manual mode: Press or to select the link speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps).

If Auto Detect mode: The detected setting is displayed (10 Mbps or 100Mbps).

Press to begin configuring the duplex mode.

If Manual mode: Press or to select the duplex mode (Half or Full).

If Auto Detect mode: The detected duplex mode is displayed (Half or Full).

Press to continue.

Press .

Then press to apply changes, or press to cancel the changes.

Setting or Changing the Front Panel Password

There are two types of passwords that can be set for the PSA: a front panel password (one per PSA) and an administrator

password (can be multiple accounts, but there must be at least one), which enables access to the web interface to

manage the PSA. The front panel password is discussed in this section.

There is no front panel password until it is set. This password limits access to front panel functions. A password will prevent unauthorized configuration changes. After the front panel password is set, it must be entered before future configuration tasks can be performed at the front panel display.

To set or change the front panel password, press once. The following messages are displayed:

Press

Press .

Type a new password and press .

Manually specify IP information

IP address

Subnet Mask

Select this option for the PSA 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.

Select this option to manually specify the IP address information for the PSA. Each field must be entered manually.

Enter an IP address without leading zeroes (for example: "10.1.2.3").

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 PSA 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 PSA, or leave this field blank (or empty).

Primary Domain Name Server (DNS) Address

Secondary Domain Name Server (DNS) Address

DNS Domain Name

The DNS enables network resources (such as PCs and printers) to be specified by their friendly names instead of their IP addresses. In order to use this functionality, specify the primary DNS server by its IP address, not by its friendly name. Once the primary DNS is specified, use friendly names across other configuration areas of the PSA (such as the queue configuration screen). If the network does not have a DNS, leave this field blank (or empty).

If the primary DNS is unavailable, this server will be contacted. Specify the secondary DNS server by its IP address, not by its friendly name. After this is server specified, use friendly names across other configuration areas of the PSA (such as the queue configuration screen). If the network does not have a DNS, leave this field blank (or empty).

The DNS domain name. For example, a server named mail.hp.com (hp.com is the DNS name and mail is the host name). 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.

Check for Print Server PSA firmware updates during each web login

The Overview page can display new information regarding the PSA if this box is checked.

Configuring the PSA Using the Web Interface

1. At a workstation, access the web browser.

2. Log on to the PSA as an administrator (The default is "admin" for the user name and "admin" for the password.)

Microsoft Windows Domain Authentication Features

A 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. Microsoft domain security is a feature that allows administrators to easily authorize or restrict print administration and services to specific groups or users by using their existing user name and password of the domain.

The domain security feature provides the following features:

● Seamless integration for the print client user (the native tools for printing and managing personal

documents work the same as they do with Microsoft spoolers).

● Assignment of permissions are on a per-printer basis.

● Disabling and enabling domain security and authority without losing configuration information.

● Setting or changing permissions using the web interface or native tools.

● Specifying selected groups that can have one of the following four permission levels for each printer, using

native tools:

❍ Print (print, pause, and delete your own print jobs) ❍ Manage Documents (pause and delete other user's print jobs) ❍ Full Control (print, pause, and delete other user's print jobs, delete printers, and change security

settings)

❍ No Access ❍ Special Access (for some Windows 2000 and XP print permissions that do not map directly to the

above four permission levels)

Adding the PSA to a Domain

There are two ways to add the PSA to a domain:

● Complete the fields on the Microsoft Network Settings page. Type the PSA name and then, at a

minimum, select the box for Create account for this device in the domain and complete Domain Administrator Name and Domain Administrator Password.

● Create a machine account on the domain controller using Server Manager. A machine account must be

created before the PSA can join the specified domain. Note: This method must be used if a WINS Server was not specified on the Microsoft Network Settings

page.

1. Log on to the server as an administrator.

2. Add the PSA to the domain using the Server Manager.

3. Log on to the PSA as PSA Administrator using the PSA's web interface. (The default user name is "admin" and the default password is "admin".)

4. Set the domain name on the Microsoft Network Settings page by completing the Windows Domain or Workgroup field.

5. Enable Domain Authentication by checking the box Enable Domain Authentication.

6. Click .

Enabling and Disabling Microsoft Domain Security

The administrator can, at any time, turn on or off domain security. If domain security is on and the PSA cannot communicate with the domain controller over the network, users will not be able to print using the PSA. The administrator can turn off domain security, which would enable users to continue printing although no security will be enforced. To disable domain security, access the Microsoft Network Settings page, and make sure the box for

Enable Domain Authentication" is not checked.

With Domain authentication disabled, local administrator accounts must be used to manage the PSA and access the web interface because all domain administrator accounts will be disabled by this action as well.

Granting Printer Access or Authority to Users and Groups

On Security page for a specific print share, assign domain users and/or groups appropriate access for that print share. The Account(s) to Add to List box (on the left) contains all of the group or user names within the selected

domain. Select from this list to grant access to the print share and click

. After the account has been granted access, its name will be moved from the Account(s) to Add to List box to the Current Account(s) in List box.

By default, every user on the PSA has print access to any newly created print share.

Administrator Accounts for the PSA

There are two types of administrator accounts on the PSA:

● Local Administrator Accounts - user names and passwords are stored on the PSA and are not

synchronized with any domain accounts.

● Domain Administrator Accounts - user names and passwords are synchronized with domain accounts.

If domain authentication is enabled on the Microsoft Network Settings page, both local and domain administrator accounts can be added to the PSA.

If domain authentication is not enabled on the Microsoft Network Settings page, only local administrator accounts can be added to the PSA.

System Messages for LPD Printing Troubleshooting the PSA Configuring Printing for UNIX Clients

This feature enables the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol (sometimes referred to as "BSD compatible" network printing) to spool and control print jobs on the PSA from any RFC 1179-compliant LPD client including:

● HP-UX 10.x and above

● Solaris

● Linux

● AIX 4.3 and above

Note: Not all LPD implementations are RFC 1179-compliant.

LPD print jobs are visible to Windows clients, but Windows users cannot manage (pause, resume, restart or cancel) them unless that user has the appropriate administrative rights on the PSA.

Both UNIX and Windows clients can simultaneously print to the same printer regardless of whether a printer driver has been associated with the printer.

As a default, LPD printing is enabled for all hosts. Administrators can restrict printing to a certain set of hosts, if desired.

Note: The PSA does not process control files for printing options such as number of copies. Instead it will pass this information straight through to the target device and the target device may choose to handle or ignore these options.

LPD Printing

On the LPD Settings page, the administrator can enable or disable LPD printing.

SNMP and the PSA

The SNMP agent supports MIB II (Management Information Base II), Host Resources MIB (portions), its own MIB, called the HP-PRINT-SPOOLER-APPLIANCE-MIB, SNMPv3, and SNMPv2 Traps.

Note: For a copy of the HP-PRINT-SPOOLER-APPLIANCE-MIB, check http://www.hp.com.

SNMP Traps

Users can register for traps using the following, as outlined in RFC#2573:

● snmpTargetAddrTable

● snmpNotifyTable

● snmpTargetParamsTable

Registering for traps through the tables can be difficult; it is recommended that only administrators familiar with the tables register for traps in this manner. A simple interface to the tables was added to the PSA's interface.

Registering for Traps

The SNMP Settings page is displayed when SNMP is selected (on the menu under Networking).

Specify the port number. (Most SNMP agents receive traps on port 162)

To register for traps, follow these steps:

1. At a workstation, access the web browser and type the IP address for the PSA.

2. Log on to the PSA as an administrator. (The default user name is "admin" and the default password is "admin".)

3. Under Networking on the menu, select SNMP. (See the description of the fields above for more information.)

4. In IP Address, type the IP address for where the trap is to be sent.

5. In Community Name, type a community name for the trap packet. "Public" is a commonly used community name.

6. In Port, specify the port number. Most SNMP agents receive traps on port 162.

7. Click to complete the registration process. The SNMP agent is shut down and restarted. This causes a trap to be sent out:

1: coldStart 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1.

Trap Testing

The OID snmpTrapTest (1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.46.2.1.10.4) will cause a trap to be sent to each registered host when set to an integer value. For example, if an SNMP set is done on 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.46.2.1.10.4.0 with a value of 15, each registered host will receive the trap TrapTest (1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.46.2.2.0.100).

Trap Format

The PSA can generate three different traps:

● coldStart

STATUS: current DESCRIPTION: A coldStart trap signifies that the SNMPv2 entity, acting in an agent role, is reinitializing itself and that its configuration may have been altered. ::= { snmpTraps 1 }

● trapTest

OBJECTS: {snmpTrapTest} STATUS: current DESCRIPTION: When a set is done on trapTest this notification will be sent out. ::= { psaEventV2 100 }

● logEventCriticalAlert

OBJECTS: { logCriticalCategory, logCriticalID, logCriticalMessageNumeric, logCriticalMessageString } STATUS: current DESCRIPTION: When a new critical entry is added to the logTable a notification of this type will be sent to all entities registered for this notification. ::= { psaEventV2 1 }

This trap corresponds to critical entries in the

❍ Cannot communicate with any domain controllers. Domain name: ❍ Cannot communicate with any WINS servers. ❍ Cannot communicate with any DNS servers. ❍ Cannot connect to printer-connection refused by printer. ❍ Cannot print due to problem at the printer. ❍ Critically high disk utilization - disk utilization is at 90-100% of capacity. If this log is added to the

event log the following trap will be sent.

Event Log. Six different events have been defined as critical:

SNMPv3

The SNMPv3 RFCs do not specify a mechanism for creating the initial SNMPv3 account. The initial account creation is left to the developer. Users can create the initial account and add it to the PSA using one of two methods: using the web interface (covered in this document) or using SNMP (intended for use by other applications and not covered in this document).

SNMPv3 security relies upon the creation of two separate keys: one for encryption and the other for authentication. The keys are hex strings. To make hex strings easy to remember, two different algorithms for turning passwords into keys were defined for use: HMAC-MD5-96 and HMAC-SHA-96. Once the key is generated from the passwords, the key can be localized to a specific SNMP agent by combining the key with the SNMP agent's engine ID and then by running a hashing algorithm on the combined pair. The following flowchart illustrates this.

Initial Account Creation Through the PSA's Web Interface

Using the PSA's web interface, users can create an SNMPv3 account by supplying a user name, an authentication key, and a privacy key. The PSA will except either a localized or non-localized key, but not a password. This was done by design to maintain backward compatibility with other JetDirect products. How a user determines whether to use a localized or non-localized key largely depends upon the SNMP application that will be used to communicate with the PSA. If an SNMP application that is highly configurable such as "Mg-Soft Mib Browser" is being used, then a user can use a non-localized key. However, if the user is using a less configurable tool, such as the net-SNMP tools, the user may have to type a localized key that was generated from a password.

Note: A valid key is 32-characters long and only contains the characters 0-9, a-f, and/or A-F.

Initial Account Creation Using Passwords

Since the PSA only accepts authentication keys, users must first convert their password to a key. Follow these steps to convert a password to a key:

1. Start the application KeyChange.exe that is supplied on the CD shipped with the PSA.

2. Create the Authentication Key: a. In New Passphrase, type the password. Use the engine ID you wish to communicate with (on the

SNMP Settings page in the web interface under Networking). Do not include the beginning "0x" which

indicates the value is given in hexadecimal. b. Click Update New Key. This value, excluding "0x", is the authentication key. Copy this key (omitting the "0X") and paste it into the Authentication Key field on the

PSA's web interface under Networking).

3. Create the Privacy Key: a. In New Passphrase, type the password. Use the engine ID you wish to communicate with(on the SNMP

Settings page in the web interface under Networking). Do not include the beginning "0x" which indicates

the value is given in hexadecimal. b. Click Update New Key. This value, excluding "0x", is the privacy key. Copy this key (omitting the "0X") and paste it into the Privacy Key field on the

interface under Networking).

Removing the SNMPv3 Account

To remove the SNMPv3 account, uncheck the Enable SNMPv3 box and click . This will destroy all SNMPv3 accounts that have been created including accounts that were cloned from the original. It is also important to note that the SNMP agent's engine ID will change each time the SNMPv3 account is deleted.

3. Click . The selected print share and all of its print jobs will be deleted.

Adding a Print Share to the PSA

While there is no fixed limit on the number of print shares that can be attached to the PSA, many factors impact performance in your environment and create an effective limit for your environment and use model. Factors that impact performance include the number of users printing through the PSA, how frequently the users print, whether NT Domain security is enabled, the size of the jobs being printed, the types of jobs being printed (for example, color print jobs), the speed of your printer(s), and how many print shares are installed on the PSA.

Both UNIX and Windows clients can simultaneously print to the same print share. UNIX clients ignore any Windows driver selections.

The following postscript printer drivers for Windows 9x and NT are factory-installed. These drivers, and any others that have been added to the PSA, can be associated with a print share on the PSA. The HP LaserJet 4 has both the postscript and PCL drivers installed; the default is the PCL driver.

Note: When upgrading to 2.5.x, drivers that were installed prior to the upgrade will be available.

To add a print share, see the next section.

Note: If Domain Authentication is enabled (on the Microsoft Network Settings page), the administrator must either have a local account on the PSA with the same user name and password as their domain account, or a

domain account for the administrator must be added to the PSA. If Domain Authentication is not enabled, the administrator logged onto the PC must have a local administrator account with the same name and password as their domain account.

Adding a Printer to the PSA, or Using the Add Print Share Wizard

While there is no fixed limit on the number of printers that can be attached to the PSA, many factors impact performance in your environment and create an effective limit for your environment and use model. Factors that impact performance include the number of users printing through the PSA, how frequently the users print, whether NT Domain security is enabled, the size of the jobs being printed, the types of jobs being printed (for example, color print jobs), and how many printers are installed on the PSA.

Both UNIX and Windows clients can simultaneously print to the same printer. UNIX clients ignore any Windows driver selections.

Numerous printer drivers are factory-installed. Click here to see a list of those drivers.

To add a printer, follow these steps:

Note: If Domain Authentication is not enabled (on the Microsoft Networking Settings page), the administrator logged onto the PC must have a local administrator account with the same name and password as their domain

account. If Domain Authentication is enabled, the administrator must either have a local account on the PSA with the same user name and password as their domain account, or a domain account for the administrator must be added to the PSA.

Note: After the PSA has been configured and drivers have been associated with print shares, the configuration should be

backed up.

Note: Having Windows 2000/XP versions and NT versions of drivers with the same names installed on a PSA can result in the loss of printer settings and functionality (e.g., inability to print in landscape mode or loss of watermarks). To eliminate this risk of lost printer functionality, HP recommends two workarounds:

1. Install and distribute only NT printer drivers on the PSA for all of the NT, 2K, and XP clients; or

2. If print shares for both driver versions are required, create a separate share for each driver type on separate PSAs. This only affects NT and 2K/XP printer drivers and not 9X drivers. 9X drivers can still be installed along with NT or 2000/XP drivers.

Note: Client-side rendering (CSR) drivers and Windows 2000 drivers can be initialized, enabled, and disabled separately. However, these drivers are installed and deleted at the same time.

Note: Drivers for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 usually work with both Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Consequently, many vendors will label a driver as Windows 2000 or XP when the driver conforms to the NT 4.0 driver specification. As a result, any of the following can occur.

● Windows 2000 drivers can show up as Windows NT or Windows 2000 drivers.

● Windows NT drivers show up as Windows NT drivers.

Specify an operating system to display printer drivers for that operating system only. Or, select All Operating Systems to display all printer drivers installed on the PSA.

List the printer drivers for the operating system specified above, or lists all printer drivers if All Operating Systems is chosen.

Each driver can have only one name (the same as in the .ini file) regardless of the number or type of printers associated with it.

If a driver is displayed in blue and preceded with a "~" (tilde), that driver has been disabled either by the user (to prevent it from being used) or by the system (in the case that it failed to initialize during its installation). When a driver is disabled, it can be associated with a printer but will not be downloaded to a client PC for point and print. (The user will be prompted to install a driver locally.) When a client connects to a print share with a disabled driver, it receives the name of the driver to install and a prompt requesting that the driver be installed.

If the administrator enables the driver, it will be available to clients through point and print if the client connects to a print share associated with that driver.

To enable a driver:

● If the driver was disabled by the user, click . The

driver can now be downloaded to a client's PC for point and print.

● If the driver had been disabled by the system due to a failure

during driver initialization, the administrator cannot enable this driver until it is successfully initialized. (A failure might be attributed to file corruption.) To initialize the driver, first try

installing the printer again. When asked for a printer driver,

consider using a different source for the printer driver in case the original file was corrupted. If a driver is disabled by the system, it must be installed again for it to be enabled (use the

Add Driver

wizard to install the driver again.)

If the driver persistently fails to initialize then the printer created can still be used, but when clients connect to that printer they will be prompted to install the driver files for that driver locally. The end user will be required to provide driver files for a driver whose name matches the name of the driver associated with the printer on the PSA.

Client side rendering

To initialize or reset drivers that are already installed on the PSA, highlight the driver and click Initialize.

Client side rendering (CSR) is a process built into a new architecture of printer drivers for 2K and XP clients called Unidriver. If the printer driver you are installing is a Unidriver and you are having problems with any if the following advanced printing features then use the CSR version of the printer driver to see if it resolves your printing problems.

● N-up (printing multiple pages in a reduced format on one page)

● booklet style (format the print job into a printed booklet)

● watermark (print a watermark on each page of the document)

The PSA displays the Driver Name Mismatch dialog; you will then be able to install the Windows 9x driver using the Windows 2000/XP or the NT as the display name. This will allow the 9x drivers to become point-and-print capable.

Security Warning When Adding New Drivers

In order to add new printer drivers to the PSA, either through the Add Print Share wizard or through the Driver Management page, executable files must be copied through the web browser onto the client PC.

The following security warning is displayed and must be accepted for these executable files to be downloaded. These files will be used to initialize printer drivers, which is an integral part of adding printer drivers to the PSA. If you choose not to accept this security warning, you will not be able to add printer drivers.

Admin Accounts - Domain Accounts Page

Field Name Description

Type Account Name

Select Account(s) from

Domain Members

Accounts to add as Administrators

Type the account name for the domain in the format Domain \Accountname.

The drop-down list contains names of the primary domain and all trusted domains.

Shows all of the members in the domain specified in the above field. To show users also, click .

(To highlight multiple groups/users, use the Control or Shift key.)

Lists all groups and/or users with administrator rights for the PSA.

Note: If the Domain Controller is not available, administrators can use their local account.

When browsing for domain accounts from the Select Account(s) from list of domains, the PSA may ask for a user name and password. The reason is the domain's security policy requires a trusted user account to connect to the domain controller to retrieve the account list. A machine account (i.e. the PSA's) is not sufficient when the domain is configured to protect enumeration of users and groups account information.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Single Sign-On allows an administrator, using Internet Explorer, to access the PSA without prompting for an account name and password. The PSA will request the browser to provide credentials given when the administrator logged into the Windows workstation. The following scenarios could occur:

1. When an administrator is using Internet Explorer and the URL specified for the PSA is within the browser’s local intranet zone, the browser will automatically send the credentials used to log into the Windows workstation.

❍ If the credentials are successfully authenticated with a domain controller and the administrators are

also authorized to access the PSA's web interface, then the requested page will be served to the browser. Administrators are authorized if their domain account is listed in the PSA Domain

Administrators list.

❍ If the credentials are not authenticated with a domain controller or the administrator's account is

not authorized to access the PSA, the PSA will prompt for another account name and password (see

Basic Authentication).

2. If the PSA administrator is using Internet Explorer but the URL used to access the PSA is not within the local intranet, then the administrator will be prompted for account name and password. In this case, the security prompt given to the administrator will have three fields and the information entered here will be encrypted before being passed to the PSA (the screen shown is for Microsoft Windows NT 4.x; this screen might vary depending on your operating system).

After the name, password, and domain or entered the process is as (1) above.

3. If the administrator is not using Internet Explorer the browser will use the ‘Basic Authentication’ protocol.

Basic Authentication

If an administrator uses a browser other than Internet Explorer, SSO will not be supported; the browser will communicate with the PSA through Basic security and all security information will be passed to the PSA in cleartext. The administrator will be prompted with a Basic security password prompt having two fields and can then either choose to use a local administrator account user name and password, or specify a domain user name and password where the user name includes the domain name (for example, domainname\user name). In the latter case, a user with a domain administrator account on the PSA can access the web interface through a Basic security prompt without having a local administrator account. (However, this user name and password are passed in cleartext.) (The screen shown is for Microsoft Windows NT 4.x; this screen might vary depending on your operating system.)

Configuring Internet Explorer

By default, URLs (including IP addresses) with periods in the name (for example, http//www.hp.com and http://10.0.0.1) or URLs that go through a proxy server are not included in a browser's local intranet. An administrator can view or change their local intranet settings in the Internet Options page under the Security tab by selecting Local Intranet and clicking on the Sites button.

In order to have SSO work with IP addresses, the proxy must be bypassed for that IP address; type the IP address under Tools-->Options-->Connections-->Proxy Server-->Advanced-->Exceptions. Also, under Security-->Sites, select Include all sites that bypass the proxy server.

SSL Certificates

SSL/TLS secures the PSA's web interface by providing data privacy, data integrity, and server authentication. SSL/ TLS (Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1)) is based upon the exchange of certificates that are used to validate a public key. These public keys are then used to generate a shared secret key that is used for encryption and decryption. Encrypting the data before it is sent out over the network and decrypting the data when it has been retrieved from the network provides data privacy.

SSL/TLS is always enabled on the PSA. By default, a certificate is automatically created and installed on the PSA. To create a newer certificate on the PSA, the administrator must provide data to create a key pair and certificate. The PSA's web interface always listens on the secure data channel (Port 443, HTTPS) and on the unsecure data channel (Port 80). All transactions between the web browser and the PSA's web interface requiring security take place on this secure port.

Backing Up Network Settings and Printer Information

Saving the configuration parameters makes it easy to restore those parameters if the PSA must be replaced or if its configuration values are accidentally changed or lost. Use the Backup page to save the following configuration parameters:

● administrator account user names and passwords

● network settings

● printer information

● printer drivers

Use the following procedure to save the configuration parameters:

1. On the menu under Maintenance, select Backup.

2. Click to begin the process. A File Download window appears.

3. At the next screen, click Save This File to Disk and then click . A Save As dialog box appears.

4. Choose a file name, drive, and directory to hold the saved configuration.

5. Click . The saved configuration is in binary format and cannot be edited using a text editor.

Now that there is a backup file for the PSA, settings can be restored if required (see the next section).

Note: If the PSA is joined to a domain, the domain password for the domain controller is included in the backup file. When that PSA backup file is

restored, it might be necessary to join the PSA to that domain again because the

password might have changed since the backup file was created.

Restoring Network Settings and Printer Information (Web Interface)

If configuration values have been accidentally changed or lost, a previously saved copy of the configuration parameters can be restored to the PSA. This technique can also be used to replace a PSA. A copy of the configuration parameters is saved while the PSA's settings and files are being backed up.

Use the following procedure to restore backup settings:

1. On the menu under Maintenance, select Restore.

2. Select the settings to restore:

❍ Administrator Accounts (restores all administrator accounts previously added and saved in the

backup of the PSA)

❍ PSA Network Settings (restores all PSA address and name information) ❍ Printers and Printer Client Drivers: (restores all printer definitions and factory-installed drivers plus

any added to the PSA for

Microsoft's Point and Print feature)

3. Type the full path and file name of the saved configuration in the Configuration File field. Or, click Browse to locate and select the file.

4. Click to begin the restore process.

System Messages for Restoring the Settings on the PSA

Resetting the PSA to Factory Defaults (Front Panel)

Once the PSA is configured, the configuration settings are retained in memory unless they are manually reset to factory defaults through the front panel of the PSA. This procedure will reset the PSA to its factory defaults. All configuration information will be lost, including network settings, queues, and any firmware upgrades. The administrator account name and password will be reset to factory defaults.

Note: If the PSA is reset to factory defaults, factory-installed drivers will be restored. All other settings (including network configuration, administrator settings, printers, and user-added drivers) will be lost.

1. Make sure queues are empty and no printing activity is taking place.

2. Press the Power button on the front panel of the PSA to turn it off.

CAUTION: To prevent possible file corruption on the PSA, do not simply disconnect the power cord.

3. Turn on the PSA again by pressing the Power button.

4. During the restart sequence, when the front panel display reads Configuring, press . The following message is displayed:

5. Press to reset the PSA to its factory defaults. Press to cancel the restart process and retain all current configuration information. The PSA will then finish restarting.

System Messages for Restarting the PSA

Restarting (or Rebooting) the PSA

Use the Restart feature to reboot the PSA. Before restarting the PSA, read the following:

● The restart process will take from three to six minutes. During this time, the PSA is not available for use

and the connection to this browser session may be lost.

● Any print jobs actively being spooled from client users to the PSA will probably be lost and must be

reprinted.

● Any print jobs currently spooled on the PSA will be retained.

● Any print jobs currently being de-spooled from the PSA to the printers may be restarted (automatically)

once the PSA is ready to function.

Follow these steps to restart the PSA:

1. On the menu under Maintenance, click Restart.

2. Click to begin the reboot process.

Upgrading the Firmware on the PSA

Before installing an upgrade, save the current configuration of the PSA using the Backup feature. One firmware version 2.3.x (and not earlier versions) can be upgraded to firmware version 2.4.x.

CAUTION: This information should be automatically saved on the PSA, but if a catastrophic event occurs during the upgrade (for example, a power failure), it is possible that the configuration may be lost. This step is precautionary.

Note: If migrating to firmware version 2.4.x, printers that had been added to earlier firmware versions (2.3.x or before) need to be associated with their driver again. To do this easily, go to the Print Shares page and click

Drivers for that print share. In the drop-down list, select any other driver and click . Then, select the original driver and click

Use the following procedure to install an upgrade:

1. Download the firmware image (*.hp) from the HP support website and save it on a local hard drive or CD (http://www.hp.com/cposupport). The exact file location will be needed for step 3.

2. Access the PSA's web interface and click Upgrade (on the menu under Maintenance).

3. On the Upgrade page, type the complete path to the firmware image on the local hard drive (for example, "C:\TEMP\UPGRADE.HP") or click Browse to find the firmware image downloaded in step 2.
