The HP Color LaserJet 3550 series printer and the HP Color LaserJet 3700 series printer
are equipped with several utilities that make it easy to monitor and manage the printer on a
network.
HP toolbox
The HP toolbox is an application that you can use for the following tasks:
●
checking the printer status
●
configuring the printer settings
●
viewing troubleshooting information
●
viewing online documentation
●
printing internal printer pages
You can view the HP toolbox when the printer is directly connected to your computer or
when it is connected to a network. You must have performed a complete software
installation to use the HP toolbox.
Embedded Web server (available for the HP Color LaserJet 3700 series
printer)
This printer is equipped with an embedded Web server, which allows access to information
about printer and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which web
programs may run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Windows,
provides an environment for programs to run on your PC. The output from these programs
can then be displayed by a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator.
An “embedded” Web server resides on a hardware device (such as a printer) or in firmware,
rather than as software that is loaded on a network server.
The advantage of an embedded Web server is that it provides an interface to the printer that
anyone with a network-connected PC and a standard Web browser can access. There is no
special software to install or configure, but you must have a supported Web browser on your
computer. To access the embedded Web server, type the IP address for the printer in the
address line of the browser. (To find the IP address, print a configuration page. For more
information about printing a configuration page, see
.)
