Port 4007
PrintBuzzer Socket Server
PrintBuzzer runs a network socket server on port 4007 designed to monitor, control, and remotely manage printer jobs across an organization. It facilitates real-time status updates, device health checks, and streamlined printer fleet management, enabling administrators to oversee multiple printers efficiently..
Technical Details
Port 4007 is commonly used by PrintBuzzer's printer monitoring socket server, which facilitates bi-directional communication between printers and centralized management software. It operates primarily over TCP, enabling reliable delivery of status updates, job progress, error reports, and maintenance notifications. The socket server architecture supports persistent connections, allowing administrators or monitoring services real-time insights into the health and activity of connected print devices.
This port enables integration with enterprise device management systems, often utilizing lightweight custom protocols or APIs to collect telemetry and alert data continuously. Typical deployment includes server-side services polling registered printers, aggregating data for analysis and response. As a printer management solution, it can also help with job accounting, toner level reporting, and fault diagnostics.
In addition, port 4007 supports remote configuration and potentially firmware updates, facilitating centralized administration. This reduces the need for physical interaction with devices, streamlining large-scale fleet management and aiding rapid issue resolution.
