Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method, system, and program for establishing communication with multiple network devices, such as printers. A detection is made of at least one network device that is not available for communication. A routine is executed at predetermined intervals that sends a message, such as an SNMP message, to each unavailable network device to establish communication with the unavailable network device. A determination is then made as to whether the message sent to each unavailable network device established communication with that network device. Indication is then made that each previously unavailable network device for which the message established communication is available on the network.
