5.9.2 DSM Management of hp Printing Products


Version 5.6 provides DSM management of HP printing products. During platform bridge installation, a new agent
called the HP JetDirect Agent is added and placed within the Unispace of products classified as HP printers (As
shown in the figure below which is the Unispace of printer pc112).

As printer traps are received by Unicenter, DSM changes the state of the JetDirect agent to reflect the severity of the
most recent trap received.

Traps may be configured to be forwarded to Unicenter through two options:

• Individually configure each printer to send traps directly to Unicenter

• Use the HP JetDirect Trap Proxy Server to receive and forward events to Unicenter from printers (available in

the Contributed Library)


For more information on the trap proxy, consult the HP JetDirect Trap Proxy Server User Guide included in the
Contributed Library on the HP Toptools Enterprise Products CD.
