Overview of printer management tools

Toolbox (Windows)

The Toolbox provides status and maintenance information about the printer. It also provides links to

this guide for help in performing basic printing tasks and solving problems.

NOTE If the Toolbox was not installed with the other printer software components, you can

install it using the installation program on the Starter CD.

To monitor a printer on a shared port (for example, \\portname\printername) from a client

machine, the Toolbox must be running on the server machine as well as on the client machine.

To open the Toolbox

1. From the Start menu at your computer, point to Programs.

2. Point to HP, point to the printer name, and then click the Toolbox icon.

The Toolbox contains tabs that you can use to view product information.

For more detailed information about the options on these tabs, right-click each option in the Toolbox

window.
