1 Proxy agents NOTE: The most current version of this Readme is available from the HP Support Center. A proxy agent is client-side software that allows HP Web Jetadmin to discover and manage devices that are connected directly to the network. The proxy agent is capable of passing the same types of queries to PCconnected devices that are typically passed to network-connected devices.
2 HP SNMP Proxy Agent 10.3.0010 ● Features ● System requirements ● Install HP SNMP Proxy Agent ● Error logging ● Supported devices ● Questions and answers ● Revision history (partial) HP SNMP Proxy Agent is installed on a desktop client PC. HP Web Jetadmin uses HP SNMP Proxy Agent to discover and manage HP printers and scanners that are connected locally (for example, through a USB connection). HP SNMP Proxy Agent exposes management objects through the Microsoft SNMP service on the client PC.
● Windows XP Professional (x86) ● Windows XP Professional x64 Edition ● Windows Vista Business (x86) ● Windows Vista Business (x64) ● Windows 7 Professional SP1 (x86) ● Windows 7 Professional SP1 (x64) ● Windows 8 Enterprise (x86) ● Windows 8 Enterprise (x64) ● Windows 8.1 Enterprise (x86) ● Windows 8.
● Silent installation/network installation You must install the Microsoft SNMP service prior to installing HP SNMP Proxy Agent. You can install HP SNMP Proxy Agent either before or after you install the HP printer driver. Two installation modes are available through standard tools such as Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS)—standalone mode and silent/network mode. Standalone installation The standard (non-silent) installation takes input in the form of responses to dialog boxes.
Error logging By default, the installer creates the snmpprinst.log file in the Windows folder. This is a hardcoded aspect of the installer and currently cannot be overridden. Supported devices For a complete list of the devices that can be discovered with HP SNMP Proxy Agent, see the Discovering PCconnected Devices in HP Web Jetadmin white paper. This white paper is available from the HP Support Center.
Question Answer What happens when the IP address of the client PC changes? HP Web Jetadmin finds the proxied devices on the new IP address during the next successful discovery. Can I use any version of HP Web Jetadmin to manage PC-connected devices? HP SNMP Proxy Agent requires HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 or later for full functionality. Revision history (partial) The following table provides a partial history of the improvements and fixes made for HP SNMP Proxy Agent.
3 HP WS Pro Proxy Agent 10.3.6 ● System requirements ● Install HP WS Pro Proxy Agent ● Error logging ● Configure the HP WS Pro Proxy Agent service behind a firewall ● Supported devices ● Questions and answers ● Revision history (partial) HP WS Pro Proxy Agent supports HP printers that use Web services to communicate with HP Web Jetadmin and do not support enough of SNMP for HP SNMP Proxy Agent to discover them.
NOTE: If User Account Control (UAC) is enabled on the Windows client, you must run the installation for HP WS Pro Proxy Agent as an administrator. HP WS Pro Proxy Agent requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. The installer verifies that the correct version is installed.
Silent installation The silent mode (without a UI) is provided for push-based installations. To initiate a silent installation of HP WS Pro Proxy Agent, run the following command: msiexec /i HPWSProxyService_10_3_6.msi /quiet HPWSProxyService_10_3_6.msi WJAHOSTIP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx WJADISCOVERYPORT=xxxxx LEDMDISCOVERYPORT=xxxxx CAUTION: The installer does not support the /a switch on the command line. If you use the /a switch, the installation fails.
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard Company\HPWSProxy\HPWSProxy\bin\ ● For a default installation on a 64-bit operating system: C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard Company\HPWSProxy\HPWSProxy\bin\ NOTE: In many cases, adding an exception or rule to the firewall to allow a specific service also allows an HP Web Jetadmin discovery to take place. If the additional step of adding ports is required, proceed to step 2. 2.
