• Network administrators: This checklist assumes that readers are trained network administrators who are familiar with common networking practices such as configuring HP Jetdirect connections and using HP Web Jetadmin. Administrators should have read the MFP user guide, the MFP administrator guide, the Jetdirect administrator guide, Web Jetadmin user guides, and help files. This checklist relies on these materials for necessary information. All of these guides are available by searching for them at hp.com. • MFPs: This checklist covers security settings for specific HP LaserJet MFPs and HP Color LaserJet MFPs. It is meant to enable you to configure multiple MFPs simultaneously using the HP Web Jetadmin Multiple Device Configuration Tool (explained later). It assumes that the MFPs are turned on, connected to the network, and in the factory default state. Most of the settings recommended in this checklist apply to other HP MFPs and printers; however, this checklist is tested and known to be successful only with the specified MFP models. • Updated firmware: This checklist assumes that each MFP has updated system firmware and Jetdirect firmware. You should use the latest firmware available, but realize that updated firmware may have new features not covered in this checklist. Updated firmware is available for download and installation at hp.com. • Web Jetadmin Version 8.1: This checklist is written for use with HP Web Jetadmin Version 8.1; however, you should use the latest version of Web Jetadmin and update it with the latest plugins before attempting to configure this checklist. See Web Jetadmin help for more information. • Enterprise environment: This checklist is created and tested in a TCP/IP enterprise environment. However, most of the settings are applicable to most common networks. • Network connection: This checklist assumes that each MFP is connected directly to a local area network via Jetdirect or Jetdirect Inside (JDI). Other connections, such as direct-connect via parallel cable or via USB are not covered in this checklist (this checklist recommends disabling direct-connect ports). • Settings are only suggested: All settings in this checklist are meant only as suggestions for best-practice security in common enterprise environments. Use it as a reference, and make judgments about each recommended setting before configuring your MFPs. • Internet and intranet security: This checklist assumes that your network includes basic security configurations and components. All MFPs should be installed behind network firewalls and other standard tools such as updated virus protection applications. Solutions covered This checklist covers MFP security settings found in HP Web Jetadmin. This checklist covers no other solutions or applications. Organization This checklist includes the following chapters: • Chapter 2: Threat Model: The Threat Model chapter explains the security circumstances relating to MFPs. It follows the Microsoft® STRIDE model. • Chapter 3: Network Security for Multiple MFPs: The Network Security for Multiple MFPs chapter provides step-by-step instructions for configuring MFP security settings. • Chapter 4: Settings List: The Settings List chapter provides a bulleted list of the recommended settings with checkboxes. It does not include instructions or explanations. HP LaserJet and Color LaserJet MFP Security Checklist 6
