Did not add that part as to not reinvent the wheel.
Hp jetdirect 170x java issues how to#
I'm still looking for a way to scan documents using the HP OfficeJet G95 attached to the HP DeskJet 170x from a Windows 7 operating system.There are already a zillion instructables on how to interface digital ports with external electronic devices. In this case, the JetDirect 170x is probably still included in that count but since it contains unsigned java applications that can no longer be accessed by modern web browsers running the current version of java, the usefulness of the java running in this device is questionable.
Hp jetdirect 170x java issues update#
When I update the java level in my operating system, I have to visit and see the banner that says something about 3 billion devices running java. Now that the users have newer browsers with newer java levels, they can no longer use the OfficeJet G95 attached through the JetDirect 170x to scan documents. But my OfficeJet G95 was an awesome Ethernet attached scanner that was available to several users in the office back when their web browsers allowed access to the G95 through the web interface. Yes, I could use Telnet to admin the print server. Yes, I am glad that there are multiple ways to admin the JetDirect 170x print server.
I wish it were as simple as http:\\ipaddress\scan but I do not know how to start the scan java program directly. I still have one old Windows XP computer with IE8 that I can use with this print server to scan documents but I hate to boot that machine anymore.ĭoes anyone know a workaround with modern operating systems and browsers? In other words, the HP Jetdirect 170x print server is no longer functional to facilitate the "Scan" of a document with the current operating systems, browsers, and java. It is lost to the world by the java security implementation. There is no security prompt for the "Scan" program. Adding the IP address of the print server in the java control panel applet will allow the initial program to run after the prompt but apparently it will not allow that program to call another unsigned java program. Apparently it is also unsigned and thus cannot run. When you press the "Scan" button, another java program is called to handle the scan. The initial java program that runs handles the "Home" and "Administration" buttons. It is one of the three buttons on the left. The web interface to the HP Jetdirect 170x boxes includes a "Scan" button.
And again I tried the usual three browsers.ĭoes anyone know if this is a browser thing, a Windows thing or something else configured on the network or the server? It was fully up to date but I get the same error again even though I'm logged in as an admin. I thought it was something to do with Windows 7 or the fact I'm not on the domain (don't remember this being an issue before) so I tried it on a Windows XP machine that I had just formatted and re set up. I tried using Firefox 26, Chrome and IE 11. This is what I get when trying it from my laptop which is Windows 7 and not on the domain in the school.
Using JRE version 1.7.0_51-b13 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
When I click the details button I get a Java Console load up with the following text: When I click that I get the same error message and a details button. I have to click ok four times and the page loads with "Error - Click here for details" in each of the panels. Your Security Settings have blocked an untrusted application from running I see the Java logo and the spinning circle and then I get four error messages (all the same) for each panel. The four panels you normally see when connecting to the web interface begin to load. I was just trying to log in to one to reconfigure its IP address when I moved the printer's location and I can't get in. We have a couple of HP Jetdirect 170x boxes around the school connected to a HP 4200 and a HP Plotter.
