Inventory of Devices
HP TopTools creates several inventory reports listing basic information about
your devices. Inventory listings for the devices on your local network are the
default. To view the Inventory list, select the Inventory button in the navigation
frame. To add more devices, select the Additional Devices tab in the Settings -
Discovery page. You can print or email these reports.
See the HP TopTools online help for more detailed information.
