This document is a supplement to the online Help and the HP Web Jetadmin 10.4 Installation and Setup Guide.
The Late Breaking News for HP Web Jetadmin 10.4 is updated occasionally. The current edition is available from
the HP Web Jetadmin support page (in English).
HP Web Jetadmin might not be localized at every software release. If a software release is not localized, some of

HP Web Jetadmin 10.4 SR3 (10.4.103287)
HP Web Jetadmin 10.4 SR3 (10.4.103287) includes improvements and fixes, as well as support for new HP
devices. For more information, see Improvements and fixes in HP Web Jetadmin 10.4 SR3 (10.4.103287)
on page 9.
This release supersedes previous releases of the software (see HP Web Jetadmin release history (partial)
on page 14). This is a cumulative release. All improvements, fixes, and device support in previous releases are
also included in this release.
This version is installed by using the installation executable.
Upgrading from earlier releases of HP Web Jetadmin can be slow depending on the settings and data that are in
place on the system that is being upgraded and on system performance. After the HP Web Jetadmin installer is
finished and the HPWJA Service starts, upgrade routines in the HPWJA Service run and act on the existing
HP Web Jetadmin data. The time that it takes for these routines to finish can vary greatly. Do not interrupt the
HPWJA Service during or after an upgrade. The client logo screen that starts every time the HP Web Jetadmin
client is launched displays a message if an upgrade is running.
To access the support documentation, including white papers, go to the HP Web Jetadmin support page. For the
most current information about installation and setup, review the HP Web Jetadmin 10.4 Installation and Setup
Guide on the support page.

HP Web Jetadmin 10.4 SR3 installer
CAUTION: Always back up the HP Web Jetadmin installation and database before running an installation or
upgrade. For more information about the backup and restore scripts, review the
WJABackupRestoreInstructions_.txt file. This file is available in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Web Jetadmin 10\WJABackupRestore
After an upgrade, this directory changes to the following:
C:\Program Files\HP Inc\Web Jetadmin 10\WJABackupRestore
The HP Web Jetadmin installer verifies that the Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft Windows Installer
components are installed. If these components are not already installed, the installer stops running and notifies
the user. The installer might also request a reboot depending on the state of the system at installation time.
To download .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or .NET Framework 4.5 or later, go to Microsoft .NET Framework. Click
Downloads, and then navigate to the version of .NET Framework that you need to install.
To download Microsoft Windows Installer 4.5, go to the Microsoft Download Center, and then search for the
keywords Windows Installer 4.5. Click the Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable link, and then follow
the instructions to download and install the file that is appropriate for your operating system version and
platform.
The HP Web Jetadmin installer performs extensive disk space checking and provides an option to redirect the
installer to place either the Microsoft SQL Server instance files and directories or the HP Web Jetadmin
installation directories in alternate directory paths.
For non-English operating systems or English operating systems that have the Format set to non-English,
HP Web Jetadmin can always be started in English only by browsing to the following URL:
http://:8000/wja/wja.application?lang=en-us
This is very useful for obtaining the latest online Help for HP Web Jetadmin because updates for the localized
online Help are not provided with every release.

HP Web Jetadmin will be using a different protocol (CDM) to configure SNMP settings on the device.
SNMPv1 can be re-enabled without having to configure SNMPv3 first with the SNMP Credentials
(FutureSmart 4) configuration option.
After discovering a factory new FutureSmart 4.5 device (or an upgraded device that has been set to factory
defaults), it requires configuring the SNMP settings on the device before any other SNMP managed settings
can be changed.
Feature Pack 6 is required to reconfigure the new Secure by Default settings. New templates and
workflows have to be created (first configure snmp before configuring other options).
It’s also recommended to use as a minimum HP Web Jetadmin 10.4 SR2 as SR2 contains an important fix
wrtswitching communication between SNMPv1/v2 and SNMPv3.
HP Web Jetadmin 10.4 SR2 with Feature Pack 6 is the minimum for the secure by default settings.

whitepaper.
13. REQ 6936: Added a textual message to the Install button to inform users that PJL has to be enabled under
File System External Access in order to install Fonts and Macros.
NOTE:

The message and configuration option will be updated in 10.4 SR4 to match the EWS.

14. Another change with the Secure by Default settings in FutureSmart 4.5 is that Cross-Site Request Forgery
prevention is enabled to prevent web-scraping. Currently, HP Web Jetadmin does not have a UI option to
change this setting and an XTP ticket will be required to change it. HP Web Jetadmin is not affected by this
setting.
15. REQ 6940: HP Web Jetadmin offers more colors and Color Intensity for the option Show Welcome Message.
16. REQ 6957: Added configuration option Paper Path under Copier Category for FutureSmart devices.

server authentication setting under Digital Sending, LDAP settings will fail on FutureSmart 4.4.1 and older
FutureSmart 4 versions. This has been fixed in FutureSmart 4.4.2.

7.

CR 11465: Cannot set Date and Time when device is set to SNMPv3 on FutureSmart devices when SNMPv3
timeout is set to 1000ms. Solution: Change SNMPv3 Timeout to 2000ms.

8.

When starting the HP Web Jetadmin client on Windows Server 2016 and creating a Quick Set with
FutureSmart paper handling options, several options cannot be selected because the scroll bar is missing
in the Quick Set. This issue will be resolved in the next release of HP Web Jetadmin. Workaround: Start the
HP Web Jetadmin client from another Windows operating system (for example, Windows 10).

9.

CR 11277: When setting the access control for device functions in batch mode, without specifying a default
logon and when no default sign-in method is configured, HP Web Jetadmin returns a success message
although the requested changes have not been set.
Workaround: Always specify the default sign-in method when configuring access control for device
functions.

10. Unable to configure WPA enterprise wireless for M202 devices. This will be fixed in the new device
firmware.
11. CR 10913: Scheduled export tasks that have been upgraded to 10.4 SR2 will only export the devices that
were available in a group at the moment the task was created. Newly scheduled export tasks will export
the devices that are available in a group at the moment of the execution of the task.
12. CR 10905: Unable to read or set IPSec/firewall rules with HP Web Jetadmin on HP CM 6040 with firmware
higher than 13.2. Workaround: Configure the IPSec/firewall rules in the EWS.
13. CR 10938: HP Web Jetadmin sometimes shows the value for ePrint services as . This is
fixed in FutureSmart firmware 3.8.4.

15. 10866: During an upgrade to HP Web Jetadmin 10.4 SR1, data is copied from the Hewlett-Packard
directory to the new HP Inc directory. After the data is copied, the HP Web Jetadmin installer tries to delete
the Hewlett-Packard directory. If the Hewlett-Packard directory is open during the upgrade, Windows does
not allow the installer to delete the directory and the installation continues normally. After the installation
is complete, you might need to manually delete the following old directory:
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Hewlett-Packard\HPWebJetadmin
However, before you delete the old directory, verify that the following HP Inc directory was created:
C:\Program Files\HP Inc\Web Jetadmin 10
16. CR 10791: For the HP DesignJet T830 MFP and HP DesignJet T730 devices, the error that occurred when
the Allow device to connect to HP Web Services check box on the ePrint Settings configuration option is
cleared and then the configuration option is applied to these devices has been fixed in the June 2016
release of the firmware for these devices. This configuration option is available in the Web Services
category on the Config tab.
17. HP Web Jetadmin does not display all of the solutions that are installed on HP FutureSmart devices on the
Solutions tab if the solution was not installed with HP Web Jetadmin, even if the solutions are displayed on
the General tab in the device HP Embedded Web Server (EWS).
Workarounds: Use one of the following options to resolve this issue:
–

Use HP Web Jetadmin to reinstall the solution on the device. For more information, see the OXPd
Solution Installer in HP Web Jetadmin white paper. This white paper is available from the
HP Web Jetadmin support page.

–

Most solutions are used with a Home screen application. To display the installed solutions for
HP FutureSmart devices, create an automatic group with filters for the solution’s Home screen
application. For example, the following is the filter for a Home screen application called NSE Scanner:
AnyItem([Home Screen Applications.All Apps], [EQ(\
[Item.Application Title\], \[NSE Scanner\])])

18. CR 10681: Device data collections do not complete. Use the following steps to increase the value of the
SQL command timeout:
a.

Use Notepad or a similar text editor to open the DatabaseSettings.config.xml file. This file is available
in the following directory:
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\HP Inc\HPWebJetadmin\WjaService
\config

b.

Change the value of the DatabaseConnectionFactory.CommandTimeoutInSeconds
entry to a high number, such as 800.

c.

Save and close the file.

19. For HP LaserJet Pro devices, such as the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225, users can disable the Fax feature only
via the device control panel. After disabling the Fax feature, the Fax category is still available on the Config
tab in HP Web Jetadmin. However, when users select the Fax category, HP Web Jetadmin displays a dialog
with the following message: Error reading device settings. Empty values will be displayed. All of the other
configuration options are still available in HP Web Jetadmin.
20. Device Utilization by User data collections are resource-intensive and reduce printing speed. Therefore,
Device Utilization by User data collections should be enabled only sparingly.

ENWW

NOTE: The HP Officejet Pro X476 MFP and HP Officejet Pro X576 MFP devices do not support the Device
Utilization by User data collection type.
21. For HP Officejet Pro devices, such as the HP Officejet Pro 251 and HP Officejet Pro X476, if a password is set
by using the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) on the device and then the password is removed by using
the EWS on the device, HP Web Jetadmin continues to prompt for credentials when other options are
configured.
22. Issue: For group names that contain a comma (,), left bracket ([), or right bracket (]), these special
characters are not changed to underscores (_) in auto groups and filters when upgrading from HP Web
Jetadmin 10.3 SR1 and earlier to the current release.
Resolution: Upgrade to HP Web Jetadmin 10.3 SR2, and then upgrade to the current version of
HP Web Jetadmin.
Workaround: Manually edit the filters and select the correct groups. The filters might contain numbers,
such as 46f4d2cb-00e2-43e1-99, instead of the group name.
23. When applying device configuration templates that contain a large number of settings, such as more than
60 Quick Sets, a timeout might occur. To prevent these timeouts, perform the following steps:
a.

Open the HP.Imaging.Wjp.Communication.Protocol.Web.Services.ITransfer.config.xml file in Notepad
or a similar text editor. This file is available from the following directory:
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\HP Inc\HPWebJetadmin\WjaService
\config

b.

Increase the timeout interval from 60 seconds to 120 or 180 seconds.

c.

Close and save the XML file.

24. The Fax Send Setting configuration option does not work for PC-connected HP Officejet Pro 8600 Series
and HP Officejet Pro 8500A devices.
25. CR 10755: If an older self-signed certificate is installed on a device, the Embedded Web Server button on
the Status tab for that device is unavailable. To resolve this issue, use the device HP Embedded Web Server
(EWS) to generate a new self-signed certificate.
26. For HP FutureSmart devices that have firmware older than HP FutureSmart Bundle 3.2 and have been in
deep sleep mode (1 Watt mode), HP Web Jetadmin displays a status of Device Communication Error.
Solution: Upgrade the firmware on the devices to the latest HP FutureSmart firmware.
27. For the HP LaserJet M4555 MFP and HP Color LaserJet CM4540, sleep mode can be disabled by using the
Sleep Timer Settings configuration option. In older versions of HP Web Jetadmin, this configuration option
was called Simple Power Management for One Watt.
For HP FutureSmart devices, the Sleep Timer Settings configuration option includes the option to specify
the number of minutes for the sleep delay. Any existing device configuration templates for HP FutureSmart
devices that include the Sleep Delay (Minutes) configuration option must be updated to include the Sleep
Timer Settings configuration option.
For non-HP FutureSmart devices, the Sleep Delay (Minutes) configuration option will continue to be
supported.

Universal Plug-ins release history
When HP Web Jetadmin 10.3 SR4 was released, Universal Plug-ins (UPIs) were introduced to support the
majority of the recently released HP devices and future HP devices. This means that HP Web Jetadmin does not
have to be upgraded to a newer version to display devices that can be displayed by using any of the UPI classes.
A UPI represents specific products by device class and contains a superset of features and capabilities. The
superset of features and capabilities might or might not apply to all of the products that the UPI supports.
Be aware of the following changes that are specific to the UPIs:
●

Products are represented by a device class in the UPI. Therefore, the thumbnail image on the Status tab
might not reflect the actual image of the device.
NOTE: Feature Packs contain device-specific images for the devices that the UPI supports. The device
class UPI image is displayed only when the device-specific image is not available.

●

The device capabilities listed on the Capabilities tab for a specific device that a UPI supports might not
reflect all of the features that are available for that device.

●

Batch mode configuration via the Create Device Configuration Template wizard displays a superset of the
configuration features that might or might not apply to a specific device that a UPI supports. For example,
when configuring monochrome devices, users might also see the color features that are available for any
color devices that the UPI also supports.

The UPIs are found in the Create Device Configuration Template wizard. The HP products that the UPIs support
are not listed individually in the wizard. For more information about which HP products are included in each UPI,
see the tables in the following sections.

HP Web Jetadmin 10.3 SR8 (10.3.96073)
The following are the improvements and fixes made in HP Web Jetadmin 10.3 SR8 (10.3.96073):
1.

HP Web Jetadmin was changing the hostname of a device when the device was turned off. This was a
problem in environments with DHCP servers, which always registered hostnames even if the IP address
was not distributed. In some cases, HP Web Jetadmin was also changing the hostname if two devices
swapped their IP addresses after a DHCP renewal.
Implemented fix:
First check the status of the device. If the device status is Device Communication Error, do not update the
hostname.
If the device status is not Device Communication Error and the hostname on the device is different from the
hostname in HP Web Jetadmin, check the device for the model number, model name, and serial number.
Update the hostname only if these three values on the device are the same as the values on
HP Web Jetadmin.

2.

28

Scheduled exports of the IP hostname and default From email address are now completing as fast as
manual exports.

Improvements and fixes in previous releases of HP Web Jetadmin

33

4.

When configuring an Access Control List (ACL), HP Web Jetadmin now sends the IP address and subnet
mask together. In previous versions, HP Web Jetadmin sent the IP address in a separate package and the
printer automatically added a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255. This method blocked HP Web Jetadmin
from accessing the printer if the first IP address was not the IP address of the HP Web Jetadmin server. Now
HP Web Jetadmin can configure custom subnet masks.
The Access Control List configuration option is available in the Security category on the Config tab. The first
item in the ACL must be the IP address of the HP Web Jetadmin server or an IP address with a wide subnet
mask that includes the IP address of the HP Web Jetadmin server.

5.

When setting or modifying the Duplex Binding configuration option for the HP LaserJet 600 Series, users
are no longer prompted to enter HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) credentials. This option is available in the

6.

For HP FutureSmart MFPs, when a user configures the Enable Send to Email option, but does not configure
the Outgoing Server option and configure the Default from setting on the Email Address/Message Settings
option, HP Web Jetadmin now reports an error message instead of claiming success when nothing was
configured.

7.

Previously, HP Web Jetadmin did not accept special characters when setting up LDAP authentication on the
HP LaserJet M4555. This has now been fixed. In the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS), you can specify two
LDAP servers, separated by the pipe symbol (|).

8.

The Media Type Administration configuration option is now available for the HP LaserJet 700 M712 and
HP LaserJet 700 color MFP M775. This option is available in the Device category on the Config tab.

Send Fax as LAN Fax Service option on the device itself is now also set. When a user applies the Fax Modem
Settings configuration option in HP Web Jetadmin to a device, the Send Fax as directly from the device's
internal modem option on the device itself is now also set. The LAN Fax Service Settings and Fax Modem
Settings configuration options are available in the Fax category on the Config tab. This code change applies
to legacy HP LaserJet MFP devices.
16. The Edit functionality and configuration process of the Pharos solution installer is now working correctly.
17. The Resend Upgrade value has been removed from the Status category in the Filter Editor.

ENWW

1.

Third-party applications that are saved to a template by using the single configuration method can now be
selected in the Authentication Manager configuration option when applying the template to other devices if
those third-party applications were selected for at least one function under Authentication Manager when
the template was created.

2.

Users can now select the LLMNR option on the Network Enable Features configuration option for
HP LaserJet devices that support this feature. This configuration option is available in the Config tab >
Network category.

3.

Users can now correctly configure the WEP-Personal and WPA-Personal settings for the Jetdirect 2700w
when HP Web Jetadmin is installed on a Japanese operating system.

4.

HP Web Jetadmin correctly displays the Email Address/Message Settings column status for HP LaserJet
MFPs and HP Color LaserJet MFPs that support this feature. This configuration option is available in the
Config tab > Digital Sending category.

5.

The Control Panel Display configuration option now appears correctly for HP FutureSmart devices. This
configuration option is available in the Config tab > Device category.

6.

Firmware upgrades can now optionally be instructed to bypass the status-checking portion of the upgrade
to improve performance and allow for many more upgrades to be sent in a given time period. Instead of
waiting for successful completion of the entire upgrade, HP Web Jetadmin now claims success as soon as
the image is delivered to the device, allowing for subsequent images to be sent earlier. For more
information about enabling this features, see the white paper titled Upgrading Firmware using
HP Web Jetadmin. This white paper is available from the HP Support Center.

7.

The Pharos Print Release option is now available in HP Web Jetadmin from the Config tab > Device
category > Home Screen Applications configuration option for HP FutureSmart devices that support this
feature.

8.

allows the group import/export function and filter to work properly.

Improvements and fixes in previous releases of HP Web Jetadmin

35

9.

The SMTP Server column now appears under the Device category instead of the Obsolete category.

10. For the HP Officejet Pro 8100, the Print Usage counters no longer display  and now reflect the

HP Web Jetadmin 10.3 SR1 (10.3.85669)
The following are the improvements and fixes made in HP Web Jetadmin 10.3 SR1 (10.3.85669):
1.

When a user creates Save to Folder Quick Sets and saves them in a template, the Quick Sets are created in
alphabetical order and then sent to the device. However, when the Quick Sets reach the device, they are
displayed in random order. To change the order of the Quick Sets, users must use the HP Embedded Web
Server on the device or use the A-Z button on the control panel each time they want to send a document
using the Quick Sets. This issue applies to HP FutureSmart devices. Users can now specify the order of Scan
to Folder Quick Sets in the HP Web Jetadmin template.

2.

The Access Control List section in the template wizard does not match the Access Control List section for
the configuration of a single device. Users cannot add more than one address to the list when using the
template wizard. The workaround was to use the single configuration and apply it to different device
models. Users can now add multiple addresses in the template wizard for Access Control List for
HP LaserJet devices.

3.

For the HP Color LaserJet CM4540 MFP Series printers, HP Web Jetadmin does not allow certain characters
to be entered in the LDAP Server Settings configuration option. The workaround was to use the
HP Embedded Web Server on the device to enter the characters. HP Web Jetadmin now allows special
characters within the LDAP server configuration for the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CM4540 MFP.

4.

Users were unable to upload multiple PJL files by using the PJL Configuration configuration option. The only
way users were able to send multiple configurations via PJL configuration was to combine all the PJL
statements into a single file. Users can now upload and send multiple PJL files via the PJL Configuration
configuration option in HP Web Jetadmin.

5.

When using HP Web Jetadmin to uninstall the Softbutton (eMail) solution on an HP LaserJet M3035 MFP,
HP Web Jetadmin reports an error. However, the uninstallation completes properly. This reporting error in
HP Web Jetadmin has been resolved.

6.

Customers have reported that when applying a template to an HP Color LaserJet M4555 MFP that supports
the Open/Print from USB Device configuration option, the template shows this configuration option as . However, the specified setting for that option is applied to the device successfully. Now, when
applying a template to the HP Color LaserJet M4555 MFP, the template no longer shows this option as
.

7.

802.1x/PEAP now works correctly with the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CM4540 MFP when configured
using HP Web Jetadmin.

8.

For HP FutureSmart MFPs, the value in the Fax Header Settings column was Items: 3 instead of the actual
fax number or . The Fax Header Settings column now displays the fax number
correctly.

9.

For the HP Officejet Pro 8600, the Print Usage counters no longer display  and now reflect the
correct values in HP Web Jetadmin. Predecessor device models displayed these counters correctly.

10. In certain configurations, the client or server might hang for long periods of time when selecting groups or
creating and editing templates. The system might become unresponsive. This issue might occur on both
the client and the HP Web Jetadmin server. Improved code has been added to HP Web Jetadmin to avoid
redundant processing of the templates and improve performance.

Hotfix 1 (10.2.74918):
1.

HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 SR5 Hotfix 1 and newer versions ONLY!: HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 (10.2.74918) now
installs on Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 hosts. In the earlier SR5 (10.2.73942),
HP Web Jetadmin failed to install with the following message: “Error 1920. Service HPWSProAdapter
(HPWSProAdapter) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.” At this
time, the installer finishes and HP Web Jetadmin starts correctly with the following exception.
On Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 SP1, the HP Web Jetadmin component HPWSProAdapter does
not start, leaving the following HP models unmanageable:
–

HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One Printer series

–

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Enterprise Printer

–

HP LaserJet Pro CP1525 Color Printer series

–

HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf MFP

–

HP LaserJet Pro CM1415 Color MFP series

These HP models are, however, manageable on HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 SR5 versions that are installed on
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 hosts that have not had R2 updates. Also, these HP models had
limited management functionality in HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 SR4. If HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 SR5 Hotfix 1 is
installed on a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 host with SP1 updates, these HP models will be
discovered and displayed with a Device Communication Error status. These HP models will continue to

ENWW

display that status and cannot be manageable from HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 hosted on a Windows 7 or
Windows Server 2008 host with SP1 updates.
If you want to manage these HP models, HP recommends that you run HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 SR5 on a
Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 host without SP1 updates. HP is investigating this issue and will
provide a resolution in a future release.

–

The minimum disk space for HP Web Jetadmin has increased to 6 Gigabytes.

–

The installer now requires that you have Microsoft Windows Installer 4.5.

–

The Install log has changed, but it is still written to the user’s temp directory: %tmp%.

–

The HP Web Jetadmin client is not yet released as a 64-bit application, but is supported as a 32-bit
application on supported 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems.

3.

HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 now contains a new configuration item named Duplex Impressions. Duplex
Impressions is a device feature found in newer HP device models and firmware. This feature changes the
way in which the HP device counts printed pages to align with a new page counting methodology. The
configuration item is a ONE TIME CHANGE that cannot be reversed on the device after it has been set. For
more device-specific information, go to www.hp.com/go/support. To navigate to the support web page for
your product, on the Support & Drivers page, type the product name of your device (for example, HP Color
LaserJet CM3530 MFP or model number CC530A) in the See support and troubleshooting information for
product section. After you find the correct support page, search for “Print Tracker Usage”.

4.

In Alerts, device address information in custom email formatted messages no longer intermittently
appears labeled Unknown.

5.

Improvements in By-user Data Collection performance might vary by implementation. At this time, HP does
not publish HP Web Jetadmin performance details.

6.

Alert Subscriptions no longer appears for devices that have been removed from the HP Web Jetadmin All
Devices list. The subscription settings are cleared for any device that is no longer part of the system.

7.

The Analog Fax column in device lists now correctly displays device capability when the device is on or off
the network.

8.

The Specified Address import feature now correctly detects and sends a notification for incorrect IP address
formats.

9.

When the By User Reports are grouped by user, they now correctly show user names rather than showing
Unknown.

10. Improvements to Firmware Upgrade now allow same-version upgrades without having to configure the
software to downgrade firmware.

11. A Cover Open condition at the device no longer causes HP Web Jetadmin to falsely generate Supplies Alerts
on all HP devices.
12. USB printing moved to the Security configuration category for HP LaserJet P3010 series devices.
13. It is now possible to multiselect when qualifying firmware images.
14. Improvements have been gained on some configuration items where the previous release prompted for
SNMPv3 credentials. Several configuration items no longer prompt for SNMPv3.
15. In Data Collections, time zones are only displayed if they are present on both the HP Web Jetadmin server
and HP Web Jetadmin client. Data Collection component problems occur when there is a difference
between these two lists. HP Web Jetadmin always displays the time zone text as it is available from the
client desktop.
16. General Alerts are now unblocked for all non-HP devices. General Alerts are established with HP device
object support as a primary consideration. Some of these Alerts, such as Toner Low and Toner Out, do work
for a number of non-HP devices. Customers should check with non-HP device vendors to understand
device manageability because HP Web Jetadmin does not work with all non-HP devices in the same way.
These variations are due to device management object differences.
17. The device list Export feature now correctly omits comma separators from all numeric values.
18. A user-defined configuration now functions correctly on all devices.
19. Envelope feeder now appears correctly as a capability.
20. The serial number for most non-HP printers is now processed correctly, allowing users to block these
devices from Discovery.
21. In Supplies, Group By: Urgency now provides a correctly sorted list.
22. In Data Collections, the In Progress status is currently reset as the data collection completes. Earlier
releases displayed the In Progress status even when data collections were not completing properly.
23. The Solutions Repository now shows item description fields.
24. Firmware versions are now represented correctly on devices when earlier versions of HP Web Jetadmin had
the Use Qualified option set under Tools > Options.
25. Firmware upgrade scheduling is now possible on all firmware upgrade paths.
26. Configuration items for the MFP device configuration are now correctly populated for newer firmware
versions. HP Web Jetadmin performs limited firmware revision checking for some configuration elements,
such as DSS Configuration.
27. Logic improvements in Supplies alerting and polling prevent missed threshold messages. One notification
is triggered each time a supply level changes through a specified threshold. A replenish event is set any
time the supply level increases by 30% or more. A replenish event causes remonitoring of specified levels
triggering new supply threshold messages.
28. Supplies for most non-HP devices now have their names reflected correctly by HP Web Jetadmin. Older
versions incorrectly showed supply naming due to ordering differences in device-based objects.

HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 SR1 (10.2.62227)
The following are the improvements and fixes made in HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 SR1 (10.2.62227):

1.

Reports might now contain the error message: No data retrieved for the selected devices in the specified
time period. For large reports where data is expected, try increasing the database query timeout option.

2.

Data Collection Anomalies are now limited to 10,000 entries. Attempting to display large lists of anomalies
caused Unexpected errors in earlier releases of HP Web Jetadmin 10.2.

3.

Scheduled data synchronizations with other HP Web Jetadmin servers now complete successfully.

4.

The Search feature in Help now yields results correctly.

5.

The Delete option now works correctly for reports archived before 2008.

6.

The Edit Discovery Template feature now displays correctly and allows control over credential settings.

7.

Upgrading from HP Web Jetadmin 10.1 now creates a Specified Address Group based on the address list
present in the earlier HP Web Jetadmin release.

8.

Upgrading from HP Web Jetadmin 10.1 now correctly retains Specified Address discovery settings from
templates used in the earlier HP Web Jetadmin release.

9.

Specified Address discovery details are now displayed correctly for discoveries run in HP Web Jetadmin
10.2.

10. Group Policies are now applied correctly to existing devices at the time the policy setting is activated in
HP Web Jetadmin.
11. A migration from HP Web Jetadmin 8.x now correctly migrates all supplies threshold alerts subscriptions.
12. Device Utilization reports now correctly reflect Mono Simplex counts for HP Color LaserJet 3600, 4500,
4600, and 5500 devices. Previously, these devices did not have mono simplex reflected correctly on
HP Web Jetadmin reports.
13. Outgoing fax counts in HP Web Jetadmin device list columns and reports now appear for a number of
devices. Previously, these counters did not appear correctly.
14. Devices replaced in existing device IP addresses where the older devices had been present in
HP Web Jetadmin Data Collections no longer have data collections performed. These devices are qualified
as new, unique devices and can have Data Collections settings established, but are no longer considered
the same device due to being located at an older device's IP address.
15. SNMP Trap payload (from HP Web Jetadmin Alerts) now contains device details when HP Web Jetadmin can
acquire these details. Previously, these trap packets could contain Unknown even when the device was on
the network.
16. In HP Web Jetadmin Reports, the Outgoing Fax pages are now correctly reflected for many devices.
Previously, these could incorrectly display a value of **.
17. The HP Officejet Pro now shows the correct counts for Total Engine Cycle in device list columns and
HP Web Jetadmin reports.
18. Secure Storage Erase now functions correctly on many HP Designjet models.
19. A new device configuration object has been added: Clear Send to Network Folder Settings. This object
provides a configuration path to change Send to Network Folder Settings. A new and different Send to
Network Folder Settings configuration item is planned for a future release of HP Web Jetadmin that allows
settings such as Folder Path to be changed and managed. However, for the interim, Clear Send to Network
folder must be used along with configuration templates to manage Send to Network Folder settings. Help
will be provided that covers this in great detail.

20. There is now full localization in Alerts emails generated in non-English.
21. Page count columns now display correct values for HP Officejet Pro 8500 devices.
22. In Print Management:
–

The UPD version 5.0 driver upload now functions properly.

–

The Create Print Queue function succeeds with version 5.0 UPD driver.

NOTE: The remote server must have print queue or print share functionality enabled. See the Microsoft
documentation to enable or share print queues on Microsoft Windows.
23. Users no longer lose the ability to view HP Web Jetadmin Maps. Some user behavior in addition to
HP Web Jetadmin client cache behavior could cause Maps to disappear from view within HP Web Jetadmin.
These issues have been fixed.
24. Non-HP devices that support standard objects for control panel display are now shown with control panel
display text in HP Web Jetadmin status and other features that convey this information.
25. Default Copy options within Configuration now support Auto Detect Mode.
26. The HP Web Jetadmin Import configuration feature now accepts data wrapped in quotes that contains a
comma in the configuration CSV file.
27. Improvements have been made to the Home page for HP CM3530 MFP devices for configuration items.
28. Device graphics now update correctly after an HP Web Jetadmin version upgrade with related specific
device support is performed.
29. Configuration Templates now store and retain the Custom Media name detail correctly.
30. The NFS Access column now correctly shows Yes or No according to the device capability. The incorrect
functionality showed Enabled or Disabled. The Enabled or Disabled detail will be available in a future
release of HP Web Jetadmin when this new column will be introduced.
31. The HP Web Jetadmin Status tab now shows correct control panel text for devices that are set to display in
Finnish.
32. Firmware downloads through secure proxy are now possible.
33. The HP Designjet 1055CM Status tab graphic is now displayed correctly.
34. The HP CP3525 (and other models) Cover Open condition no longer triggers Supplies Alerts.
35. The EWS Mail Server configuration object now allows FQDN in addition to IP address.
36. The Fax Baud configuration object is now set correctly on devices that support this feature.
37. Upgrades in previous revisions could stop on stored or unfinished tasks. This issue has been corrected.
38. The PJL file repository now accepts new files after an upgrade from HP Web Jetadmin 10.1.
39. The Configure Date/Time option now uses the server time as the base and allows the administrator to
specify an offset of hours and minutes. This ensures that the date and time are configured accurately on
devices in both single and batch modes.

HP Web Jetadmin 10.2
The following are the improvements and fixes made in HP Web Jetadmin 10.2:

1.

Outgoing Fax Counts now appear correctly in Device Utilization Reports.
NOTE:

Some device-specific issues still exist

2.

The HP Web Jetadmin Service (HPWJA Service) startup fails. Upgrades over 10.1 with the HP Web Jetadmin
version 10.2.58560 installer (hpwja_setup-102-58560.exe) might fail in some cases. The
HP Web Jetadmin application installs correctly the first time and runs normally until a reboot or the HPWJA
Service is restarted. At this point, all service startups fail. This issue is fixed in the latest HP Web Jetadmin
10.2 release.

3.

The HP Web Jetadmin Data Collection feature no longer allows data collection to take place on a new
device that has been placed on the network at an IP address that was registered to a different device (one
that is not present on the network). HP Web Jetadmin now fails the collection for this device. The new
device, when added to Data Collection, is added as a different and newer device.

23. In Reports, event code entries in the Event Log History report now match entries in the Event Log on the
device's Embedded Web Server page.
24. Protocol settings are now completed at the end of a configuration process in order to avoid conflicts with
other configuration settings.
25. The Disable reverse DNS lookup field now appears correctly in the Kerberos configuration section.
26. If you are configuring the Send to Network folder path with a duplicate folder name in a Configuration
