HP Commercial LaserJet Printers and MFPs - Imaging and Printing Security Best Practices

Chapter 3 HP LaserJet and Color LaserJet MFP Security Checklist 16
Note:
If your MFP is reporting an installed HP Secure Disk but its status is
anything other than Encrypted it is recommended you resolve the issues
with your HP Secure Disk before continuing this checklist. If you do not
you may need to re-apply the entire checklist to the MFP. An example of
an MFP with a HP Secure Disk Installed that is not configured properly is
shown below (Figure 7).
Figure 7: Shows a HP Secure Disk with a status of Not Encrypted indicating an issue with the Disk that needs resolution.
The next step is to configure secure communications between HP Web Jetadmin and the MFPs:
Configuring SNMPv3
SNMPv3 provides encryption for communication between Web Jetadmin and MFPs. It helps to
ensure that only authorized and authenticated administrators have access to the configuration
settings of the MFPs. It also helps to ensure that no one can gather sensitive information, such as
passwords, usernames, and other codes, over the network while you are configuring the MFPs.
Note:
It is best to configure SNMPv3 by itself to ensure that the settings save
properly.
Follow these steps:
1. Click Security in the Configuration Categories menu (Figure 8) to view the options
for configuration. From the Security Options select SNMP Version Access
Control.
