WJA: HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 has Re-launched

Brian R. Kneebone — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 00:57:00 GMT

In a previous post I mentioned that HP Web Jetadmin had launched. It was temporarily pulled to deal with an installer-related issue and re-released super quickly with the necessary hot-fix. I shan't bore you with the details found nestled in the release notes, but I do suggest, if you have the old installer 10.2.58560, ditch it and please use 10.2.59093 exclusively. Many thanks to the WJA and support teams who caught the issue and dealt with it in an expedient fashion. I'm sure people will love WJA 10.2 given all the fantastic new features I mentioned earlier...

Newsflash: Updated Firmware for HP LaserJet P4015 and P4515 Printer Series with Quiet Mode

Brian R. Kneebone — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:56:00 GMT

Workgroup devices have become as fast as departmental devices, reaching speeds of 63 ppm. This has never historically been a consideration with large departmental devices found traditionally in copier rooms or at the end of isles. While it is fantastic that workgroup devices bring output performance reaching these speeds, the mechanics involved with moving paper this fast in workgroup devices obviously raises auditory concerns for environments where the device is at a user's desk or for certain locations where the ambient noise is quite low. HP, like other manufacturers, are introducing intelligent features in their products to help give administrators the flexibility to choose settings which suit their user environments best....(read more)
