Is remote access to my devices even possible without the use of HP Web Jetadmin?
Absolutely. The most popular method is via the Embedded Web Server, found in most of our network attached devices today. Entering an IP address or device hostname in the URL field of a simple internet browser will provide access to the Embedded Web Server for device installation, configuration, and information gathering purposes. HP highly recommends security protection (password) for this device remote access method. There is also a variety of SNMP, HTTP, and various other protocol based applications and utilities available today that may be used to gain access to devices. Administrators should seek the right balance between device security and print production to ensure best device uptime possible.
