Print services management
Print services information to plan, set up, manage, administer, and troubleshoot print servers and print
devices are available online using the Help and Support Center feature. To access the Help and Support
Center, select Start > Help and Support, then Printers and Faxes under Help Contents.
Microsoft Print Management Console
The Print Management Console (PMC) can be started from the HP Storage Server Management Console,
or the PMC snap-in can be added to the Microsoft Management Console.
HP recommends that you use the Microsoft Print Management Step-by-Step Guide on the Documentation
CD for print concepts, use of the PMC, and management of network printers. The guide can also be
downloaded from
When running the PMC on a server that has Windows Firewall enabled, no printers will be displayed in
the printers folder of the PMC. In order for printers to be displayed, you need to open the file and print
sharing ports (TCP 139 and 445, and UDP 137 and 138). If this does not fix the problem, or if these
ports are already open, you may need to turn off the Windows Firewall to display printers.
To open the file and print sharing ports:
1.
Click Start, point to Control Panel, and click Windows Firewall.
2.
On the Exceptions tab, ensure that the File and Printer Sharing check box is selected and click OK.
To turn off Windows Firewall:
1.
Click Start, point to Control Panel, and click Windows Firewall.
2.
Select Off (not recommended) and click OK.

C:\hpnas\Components\WebJetadmin
folder, and can be installed by running the WJA.exe
setup program. Follow the installation wizard and supply a password for the local “Admin” username
account and a system name.

Web-based printer management and Internet printing
Internet printing is enabled by default on the print server and File Print Appliance. Internet printing
consists of two main components:
•
Web-based printer management with the ability to administer, connect to, and view printers
through a web browser.
•
Internet printing enabling users to connect to a printer using the printer's URL.
A Microsoft white paper discussing the uses of both components can be obtained at
