"Florida Hospital now relies on HP Web Jetadmin for centralized control of our networked printers. We use
the application for inventory management and for deploying microcode updates. With HP Web Jetadmin, we are
able to launch printer firmware updates to all of the devices from a central location—it allows us
to avoid physically visiting each site, which in turn saves a lot of time."

have any new printers automatically assume the capabilities of specified group
-
Batch configuration of un-like devices — schedule device configurations
for multiple devices, and one configuration template can be used for multiple device models
Problem resolution |

|
|
"San Mateo County Transportation Authority relies on HP Web Jetadmin print management software to keep our
widely dispersed printers up and running. I'm able to have the devices babysit themselves and send electronic
messages to the help desk when they have problems. These tools let us know about problems before users do."

Proactive management |
|

"We have central control of the print infrastructure via HP Web Jetadmin. We like the remote control
functionality, particularly because it gives us the opportunity to proactively notify users that we're aware
of a paper jam, or an impending need for a cartridge replacement. It's enabled us to elevate our level of
service to users."
Jim Livornese, Project Manager of Information Technology Services,
Central Piedmont Community College
