hp report generation plug-in for hp web jetadmin 8.0

• Previous to this release, HP Report Generation Plug-in was not able to collect by-user data on a printer if that printer's SNMP Trap Destination Table contained a conflicting entry to the entry used by HP Report Generation Plug-in. The conflict was created when an entry in the table with the same IP address but different Port Number of the entry used by HP Report Generation Plug-in (which uses Port 27894) occurred before the HP Report Generation Plug-in entry. This has now been resolved.
• Overall accuracy of the data collection process has been significantly improved, making the HP Report Generation Plug-in reports more reliable
• Data displayed in the Media Size and Media Usage reports is now consistent, allowing values across the various columns of these reports to be displayed accurately
• For MySQL support, this release of HP Report Generation Plug-in (3.0.41) only supports version 5.0
