Network printer equipment monitoring method and system

Abstract

The invention relates to a network printer equipment monitoring method and system. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a ledger network segment of a network printer, and associating the ledger network segment with an organizational structure; identifying access information of each associated network printer; the access information comprises a model, a manufacturer, a high-risk port, a service component, an application related list, a user and a department of the network printer; performing simple network management protocol (SNMP) setting on each associated network printer; each associated network printer is monitored; and performing association display according to the access information of each associated network printer and the corresponding monitoring result. According to the invention, dynamic monitoring and centralized analysis can be carried out on the whole network printer equipment, the operation condition of the printing equipment can be mastered in time, and unified monitoring management is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network printer device monitoring, in particular to a network printer device monitoring method and system. Background technique [0002] Network printers, as indispensable office supplies and standard computer output devices, play an increasingly important role in today's rapid growth of information. It is not difficult to find that the number of documents printed through the network in all walks of life is increasing rapidly at an unprecedented rate, but the current account of network printers in each unit is not clear, and the management of the use of consumables and the operation of the equipment itself lacks effective means and monitoring tools. In addition, most network printers have open ports, and there are also security risks such as illegal access and leakage of confidential files. [0003] The traditional printer management system is generally unique to the manufacturer and only supports its own products...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1) At present, network printers have been widely distributed since they were put into operation, and the account information is vague, so they can only be registered and managed in a static way, and there is no unified management system for centralized management of the operation status and account of all network printers globally;

[0006] 2) Unable to monitor the online status and running status of the printer equipment in time, unable to intelligently identify the brand and model of the network printer, information location access status, etc.

In particular, printer risk management, such as high-risk ports, weak passwords, and security vulnerabilities, lacks corresponding monitoring methods;

[0007] 3) It is impossible to dynamically manage basic information such as the brand, model, and serial number of the printer. The use of consumables such as printer paper and ink cartridges can only be logged on specific devices for statistical summary. Frequently, consumables are not replaced in time, and ink cartridges, toner cartridges, There is no statistical method for the consumption of paper and other consumables, resulting in waste of consumables and increased costs
