RE: Jetdirect substitute

Well, my experience with Web JetAdmin is minimal to say the least, and we only have about 9 or 10 printers here, so maybe that’s why I don’t notice the old JetAdmin running slow.  I may just give TCP/IP printing a try though (never played with it) and ditch that stuff altogether.  I haven’t worried about it much though since I’ve tried my best to stick with HP printers.  We just bought a color laser printer and I thought for a minute we’d have a non-HP printer to deal with, but that wasn’t the case.  Anyway, it would be good to learn in case we do buy a non-HP printer.   -----Original Message----- From: Tim VanDeWalle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 2:05 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Jetdirect substitute   The old JetAdmin could take its time on some tasks as well. Updating and filtering the list of printers found was a job best done during lunch breaks (or weekends, in some cases) at one of my previous jobs. Of course, that was a college campus with a fairly flat network and literally hundreds of HP printers...   My only concern with Webjetadmin is the reliance on something that has already proven vulnerable to an attack that will continue to be frequent. (CodeRed and IIS worms in general). Granted, you could do a lot more damage running hpdwnld and doing some "specific things" during a firmware upgrade, but at least that was not related to any common IIS exploit or other internet worm.   -Tim VanDeWalle Information Systems/Product Testing Evergreen Technologies, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Allen Crawford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 11:56 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Jetdirect substitute Except that it is extremely slow.   -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 12:23 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Jetdirect substitute   WebJet Admin beats the hell out of the old JetAdmin app -----Original Message----- From: Michael Plotsker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mikelist (E-mail) Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 10:19 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Jetdirect substitute they are discontinuing jetadmin not jetdirect. the replacement for the jetadmin software is webjetadmin.   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael D.
