When I want to search a device list for a specific string of textual information, should I use Quick Device Discovery?
Not necessarily. In fact, the Search Text tool on the HP Web Jetadmin device list toolbar is probably a better option. Quick Device Discovery searches both the IP Address and IP Hostname columns within the All Devices list. If the address information entered by the user is not found in the device list, Quick Device Discovery will then send a network query using that information. If the device is found, it is then populated into the All Devices list as a newly discovered device.
