NOTE: HP Web Jetadmin is not included on the software CD. Network administrators can download the HP Web Jetadmin software at the following Web site:
The printing-system software CD includes the Installer Customization Wizard as one of the installer options. Network administrators can use this utility to create a custom printer-driver installation package that includes the components specific to your organization. Select the components from the printing-system software CD. If the selected printer drivers support preconfiguration, you are prompted to preconfigure the printer-driver settings. Upon completion, the customization utility produces an executable file (*.EXE). Use the file to install the preconfigured printer drivers on client machines. This utility supports silent, batch operations. To gain access to the customization utility, select Installer Customization Wizard on the first CD browser screen.
NOTE: HP Preconfiguration only applies to Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Absolute Software has announced the release of a Mac version of Computrace LoJack for Laptops, a new security tracking software application. It costs $49.99 for one year of service.
Developed to help Mac users locate and recover their computers if they're stolen, the software silently contacts Absolute's own Monitoring Center when the computer connects to the Internet. The software provides an IP address and other networking information to help Absolute pinpoint the device's physical location.
Absolute guarantees its work — if your computer isn't located within 30 days, the company will refund the purchase price — of the software, that is.
Computrace loJack for Laptops requires Mac OS X v10.3 or later and is a Universal binary — it runs natively on PowerPC and Intel-based Macs.
