Background

The HCP HP OXPD Embedded application can be deployed from an HCP gateway and is supported on a range of HP devices, the support list for which can be accessed via the Everyoneprint Partner zone:

https://everyoneprint.com/partnerzone/embedded-client-device-support/

Prerequisites

• HCP Gateway in place

• Latest recommended Firmware

• Mandatory Factory Reset.
• No other Print Management applications installed / active.
• Be aware of the device admin password in order to install the embedded software.
• Ensure that the HP device and gateway can communicate using DNS.
• Create a certificate within HCP, based on the DNS name of the gateway.
• If using card readers, ensure that the PID/VID are set as per the table in 10.15 of the online documentation
• Pull print Input Port created

Port requirements for embedded deployment and communication

Gateway--> MFP

The service responsible for embedded software deployment is the HCP Terminal Client Service

 

Port	Protocol	From	To	Description
161	UDP	HCP Terminal Client Service	Printer	SNMP management
443	TCP HTTPS	HCP Terminal Client Service	Printer	Deployment of the embedded client to the MFP (all brands)
80	TCP HTTP	HCP Terminal Client Service	HP MFP’s	Deployment of the embedded client to HP MFP’s
7627	TCP HTTP	HCP Terminal Client Service	HP MFP’s	Deployment of the embedded client to HP MFP’s

 

Printer-->Gateway communication

The HCP Terminal client service is utilised, together with the Authentication service

 

Port	Protocol	From	To	Description
8700	SSL	Printer	HCP Terminal Client Service	Connection from the embedded clients
8703	SSL	Printer	HCP Terminal Client Service	Connection from the embedded clients
8704	TCP	Printer	HCP Terminal Client Service	Connection from the embedded clients
7400	TCP HTTPS	Printer	HCP Authentication Service	Connection from the embedded clients to HCP Authentication Service OAuth service to register as trusted endpoints

 

Embedded configuration

Gateway configuration

Ensure that the gateway DNS Name is set within the domains list in the HCP tenant:

 

 

Next, ensure that there is a domain mapping in place for the gateway, choosing Add, then save:

 

 

 

 

Generate certificate

Navigate to Certificates in the HCP Portal, then Choose Create:

Generate certificate based on the DNS name of the gateway:

Certificate successfully generated:

Embedded profile

Go to Embedded and enter the details as below for the HP device, explanation of each setting follows. Default settings have been chosen in the screenshot:

 

 

Name: Free text and name of the Profile, that can be used to deploy multiple devices simultaneously (assuming the admin password is the same for all devices)

Vendor: HP

Device admin username: admin

Device admin password

Automatic timeout limit: Default is 120 seconds

USB reader vendor ID: Needs to be set to that of the Vendor card reader in place

USB reader product ID: Needs to be set to that of the Vendor card reader in place

Table of supported card readers:

Sr	Vendor	Card Reader	VID	PID
1	PaperCut	TWN3 MIFARE USB	09D8	0310
2	SB	SBR 0993 MIX	04D8	FE86
3	SafeCom	TWN3 Mifare USB	09D8	0206

SNMP v1/v2 community: set to public unless this option is set differently within the MFP settings.

Locked features: Options that need to be locked on the MFP for the end user.

Card options below can be set based on requirements:

Trim control characters from card ID

Print all jobs on card login

Trim zeroes from card ID

Enable scan application: This will install the HCP scan to email application

 

Printer setup

The following steps should be followed in order to prepare the MFP for embedded deployment. The options are explained in more detail below:

 

 

Name: Free text field to enter printer name

Address: IP Address or DNS Name

Description: Free text field to add information about the printer

Protocol:

TCP should be used if printing via PC Client from Mac or Windows (please see other Best Practice guide for more detailed information about the use of PC Client in HCP)

IPP also available from the drop-down menu can be used if printing using native driver or via Non-Windows/Mac operating system

Vendor: HP

Output Type: Postscript 3 (MFP must support this language to allow printing)

Reverse path finisher: Enable if this is applicable to the printer

Monochrome printer: Enable if this is applicable to the printer

IP Reader Address: Enter details if a networked card reader is being used for print release/authentication.

Device serial: Serial Number

Create matching Input Port: To create a matching push Input port

Embedded software: Ticked, which will show embedded configuration options.

Embedded configuration: Select the Embedded configuration option selected previously named "HP OXPD"

Client Terminal Services: Set to GATEWAY.EOP.LOCAL as this is the local gateway from which the embedded software will be deployed.

Service: Set to GATEWAY.EOP.LOCAL, as the gateway will control the output of the document to the printer

Location: No data and has not been configured (please see other Best Practice guide for more detailed information about locations in HCP).

When saving the settings, the printer will appear in the list:

On the right hand side there are 3 options:
