HP Web Jetadmin - Device Utilization by User and Data Collections

The Device Utilization by User data collection type uses SNMP traps to trigger the HP Web Jetadmin host data collection. Every time a print job is completed by the device, a trap is sent and HP Web Jetadmin runs a complete query of the device’s job table.

Any new entries in the job table are stored in the HP Web Jetadmin database; all old entries that were previously stored are discarded.

HP Web Jetadmin uses UDP port 27892 as the traps listener port for alerts and any reports that are based on by-user collections.

Device Utilization by User accuracy may be limited by two things:

Both of these are dependent on device printer model and firmware. Device Utilization by User and Reporting should never be used as a substitute for job accounting. HP Web JetadminReports features are designed for trending and analysis purposes.
