I can manually configure these Ciphers within the printers Embedded Web Server but that is not ideal for making Cipher changes to multiple devices and I would prefer to not revert devices to Futuresmart 5.2 to resolve this issue. I have attached an image of those extra ciphers. I have also noticed that there are 6 additional ciphers available with Futuresmart 5.4 that do not appear in the Secure Communication tab for Futuresmart 5.2. I have noticed that I can apply these Active Ciphers on the same device model if it is on Futuresmart 5.2 without issue through Web JetAdmin. The error does not give me any specifics aside from the word 'Error'. When I try to apply the Ciphers either via a configuration template or adjusting them on the specific device on the config tab within Web JetAdmin I get an Error on the device Configuration Results page when the settings are done applying. I have attached an image of the Active Ciphers I am attempting to configure on the two device models. Both device models are running on Futuresmart 5.4. Other features would be nice, but these are the main things we'd be wanting to do.I am attempting to configure the Active Ciphers on two MFP models through HP Web JetAdmin, E77650 and P77940. I think the main things we're looking for is to do firmware upgrades, manage/change device settings remotely, and maybe do occasional reports on various things.

Are there any alternatives to HP Web Jetadmin that are better? Bonus points if whatever it is can work with multiple manufacturers, so we could work with the HP, Kyocera, and other devices all in one place instead of these multiple consoles. I'm honestly just totally over the garbage that is HP Web Jetadmin.

The process to download the newest firmware in HP Web Jetadmin is what I would consider archaic at best. I recently had to upgrade firmware on all of our HP printers. We also use Kyocera Device Manager to handle the Kyocera devices, and all the HP printers show up in there - but as with Web Jetadmin, KDM doesn't seem to be able to do anything with any of the non-Kyocera devices. The majority of them are HP LaserJet of various models, but there are also some Kyocera copiers and other devices - all of which show up in HP Web Jetadmin, although Web Jetadmin doesn't really seem to be able to do anything with any of the non-HP devices. We have over 2,000 print devices spread out over the 100+ offices. HP Web Jetadmin has been made my responsibility, and might not be the very worst thing I've ever worked with in tech, but it's definitely one of the worst - at least in my opinion. We have well over 6,000 employees who are spread out in over 100 offices.
