Exceptions
The print server concept
AXIS 540+/AXIS 560
Even though the Axis Network Print Server is fully compatible with the HP
JetAdmin tool, the Axis Network Print Server behaves differently than an HP
print server in certain situations. The exceptions from the traditional HP
JetAdmin functionality are presented below.
HP JetAdmin considers each printer port of the HP print server as an
independent print server. One physical HP print server will act as one or three
print servers depending on the number of supported printer ports. HP JetAdmin
always considers the Axis Network Print Server as one print server, independent
of the number of supported ports. The effects of this different behavior are:
• You can change a printer port's properties from any of the Axis Network
Print Server printer ports' property pages. This can not be done with an HP
print server.
• If you are performing a reset on one of the Axis Network Print Server
printer ports, all three ports will be reset.
• From each port you can view all print queues connected to the print server
and not only the queues connected to the specific printer port. To be able
to distinguish between the queues, they must be named
<queue_name>!<logical_printer_number>.
• The Axis Network Print Server printer ports have the same name. They are
only distinguished by suffixes. If you change the name on one of the Axis
Network Print Server printer ports, all three port names will be changed.
Note that the port names displayed in HP JetAdmin will not change until
one of the refresh commands in the Device Refresh menu has been
performed.
