HP Web Jetadmin
HP Web Jetadmin is a software architecture and set of tools for customizing and distributing HP printing-
system software in managed corporate printing environments. Using HP Web Jetadmin, information
technology (IT) administrators in corporate and enterprise environments can preconfigure the printing
and product defaults for HP printer drivers before installing the printer drivers in the network environment.
HP Web Jetadmin is most beneficial when configuring printer drivers for multiple workstations or print
servers for print queues that share the same configuration. Two types of features can be configured:
●
Product settings
●
Printing-preferences settings
HP Web Jetadmin configures the printer driver to match the accessories that are installed on the product,
or to match the settings that IT administrators make in the configuration .CFG file (for example, optional
trays, total amount of memory, or job-storage settings).
The preconfiguration process consists of three steps:
●
Printer-driver acquisition
●
Printer-driver preconfiguration
●
Printer-driver installation and deployment
These steps can be accomplished in different ways, depending on the tool that is being used to define
the configuration.
Printer-driver preconfiguration is supported through three tools. All three are designed with the same
basic user-interface (UI) controls for interacting with the .CFG file, but are packaged differently, either
