APPENDIX B—HP WEB JETADMIN SUPPORT FOR
TELECOMMUTER DEVICES
Millions of people around the world now work from home offices, remote work areas, and other
places outside of traditional office environments. By allowing employees to telecommute,
organizations can reduce real estate requirements, improve worker productivity, conserve energy,
and facilitate emergency readiness plans. Employees cut their commuting costs and gain greater
flexibility in their work schedules. This flexibility is particularly important when employees are part of
a global team that meets outside of typical office hours.
To support the needs of the remote workers, HP offers a broad portfolio of imaging and printing
products, solutions, and services designed with telecommuters in mind. In fact, you can use HP Web
Jetadmin to continue managing and monitoring the printers of employees who work from home.
HP Web Jetadmin provides the following capabilities for those telecommuter printing devices:
• IT can monitor telecommuter devices by noting their presence and identifying them within the
network.
• IT can view and configure telecommuter devices for easier remote troubleshooting and can
subscribe to supplies alerts.
• IT can keep track of telecommuter devices and supply usage to better manage costs and
environmental impact.
• IT can receive world-class assistance through HP Web Jetadmin Premium Support.
HP Web Jetadmin best practices for managing telecommuter devices
HP recommends that IT use the following best practices for the most effective management of the
remote printing devices that telecommuters use:
• Install HP SNMP Proxy Agent and a supported driver on telecommuter PCs and laptops. For more
information, see “Proxy agents” on page 3. If WMI discovers the printer, the printer model is the
only information that is displayed on the Status page and device configuration is not available.
• Determine the organization’s telecommuter discovery and collection policies. HP recommends
setting a standard IP address range for telecommuter VPN access. These are the IP addresses
distributed to telecommuter workstations as they log on to the network through VPN. These ranges
might have to be obtained from the IT team responsible for the VPN infrastructure. Since IP
addresses might change regularly, limiting the IP address range makes new discoveries faster and
more successful.
• Because IP addresses often change, schedule a more frequent discovery based on the IP address
range. The best time for discovery depends on the following factors:
• The size of the telecommuter IP address range.
• When you expect telecommuters to be connected. You can run several discoveries at different
times for different global locations.
• Create an auto group for the telecommuter devices in that IP range and set the following policies
for this auto group:
• Set device-specific features
• Schedule a more frequent data collection that includes device usage, supplies, and inventory
• Subscribe to supply alerts
