2. Select target systems. See “Creating a task” for more information.
3. Click Print.
4. When the table is displayed, select File→Print from the browser menu.
Because certain print options are not supported in HP SIM, you cannot perform the following tasks:
• Change the Orientation to Landscape in the Print dialog box (see Printing Problems in
“Troubleshooting” for a workaround to this issue)
• Cancel printing after the print job has been executed; however, you can access the operating system's
print queue and cancel the print job

• Print specific selections; you can print the entire list only
• Print the table view page if you close the browser immediately after issuing a print request

Firewall
A firewall might be preventing HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) from communicating with the managed
system. If a firewall is installed on the managed system, or lies between the HP SIM Central Management
Server (CMS) and the managed system, then it must be configured to allow management communication.
The CMS must be able to make requests to and receive responses from the managed system, and the
managed system must be able to send alerts to the Central Management Server.
Ports used by HP SIM which might need to be configured in a firewall
The following inbound ports must be open on each managed system:
