I. INTRODUCTION
************************
HP Web Access
HP LaserJet 5100 series printers have optional HP Web Access on DIMM.
(Please note the exception: the HP LaserJet 5100 dtn comes with HP
Web Access as standard.)
HP Web Access and HP Web JetAdmin work together to provide a
scalable remote management solution.
HP Web Access provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for
one-to-one printer management. In offices where there are
a limited number of printers, remote management of printing
devices can be accomplished without installing any management
software. The only requirement is that the management console
has a supported Web browser.
In environments with a larger number of printers, where
one-to-one management is impractical, you can use
HP Web JetAdmin for printer management. In this case,
HP Web JetAdmin is used for consolidated management tasks,
where operations are performed on a selected set of printers
instead of on individual printers. For environments with a
large number of printers, HP has provided hooks between
HP Web Access and HP Web JetAdmin so the HP Web Access features
can be configured on multiple printers in one operation.
For example, the security password for HP Web Access can
be set on a population of printers using one command.
HP Web Access offers these additional features:
(Some features require installation of hard disk.)
o Supplies Status - this page provides information on toner
cartridge, total pages printed, and the serial number of
the printer.
o Event Log - this page provides information on reported
printer errors.
o Usage Page - this page provides information on the usage
of the printer.
o Security - this page lets you set a password to secure
the printer.
o Language - this page lets you select the language in which
to view the HP Web Access information.
o NEW! E-mail and alerts functionality (For more information
regarding this new feature download the "HP Embedded
Web Server for HP LaserJet Printers User Guide" from the
URL: http://www.hp.com/SUPPORT/lj8150_manuals. Please note:
this URL is for the HP lj 8150. The User Guide for
the Embedded Web server found on that page applies to all
LaserJet products.)

II. Installation and Upgrade
*****************************
--Downloading and installing HP Web Access software to a
single printer
What is needed:
If the printer is shared on the network, then the following
command can be issued from a DOS command prompt:
copy /b FILENAME \\SHARENAME\PRINTERNAME
Where FILENAME is the name of the HP Web Access file, SHARENAME
is the name of the machine from which the printer is being
shared, and PRINTERNAME is the printer's share name.
If the printer is attached locally, then the HP Web Access file
can be sent directly to the printer with a COPY command from
a DOS command prompt:
copy /b FILENAME PORTNAME
Where FILENAME is the name of the HP Web Access file and
PORTNAME is the name of the appropriate printer port
(such as LPT 1).
You can also send the file via a Fast Infrared (FIR) port.
For UNIX systems:
Any method that delivers the HP Web Access file to the
printer will work, including this example for printers
connected via parallel cable:
$ cp /home/yourmachine/FILENAME /dev/parallel
Where /home/yourmachine/FILENAME contains the HP Web Access file.
NOTE: The printer will automatically restart after processing
the upgrade.
