6. Close the Internet connection if you opened it in step 3.

7. If the “Notify after print job” option is set, you will receive an e-mail when your job

is printed.

6.2.5. Canceling a print job

Users cannot cancel a print job once it has been sent. However, print jobs can be
canceled at the FastPrint Server.

In FPSAdmin (see Chapter 8 - Management Tools), the Control - Abort Mail Print Job
menu option can be used to cancel a print job which has already started printing.

6.3. SNMP management

The FastPrint’s SNMP support allows network supervisors to monitor and control the
FastPrint Server using network management platforms such as HP OpenView, IBM
SystemView, etc. This is accomplished through the SNMP agent and the SNMP MIB.

The agent (device software) responds to standard SNMP commands and reports device
configuration and conditions. When a change in condition occurs, the SNMP agent will
send a message (a Trap) to the associated management station.

The FastPrint’s SNMP MIB is a collection of objects that are monitored and controlled
using SNMP’s get and set commands. The MIB file is in the MIB folder on the FastPrint
CD-ROM. You must import the MIB3P.MIB file into your SNMP management
program.

6.3.1. Preparing the FastPrint Server for SNMP

Before attempting to manage the FastPrint using a SNMP Management station, the
following settings should be assigned to it, in addition to the IP addresses covered in IP
address configuration
on page 23. You may do this with either FTP, FPSAdmin, or
WebAdmin.

The number and token in brackets shows the line number in the FastPrint CONFIG file.
