Hpbpro.exe is the executable file for Hewlett-Packard PortResolver Module, a software that provides support for HP brand business printers, both inkjet, laser and toner types. The program maintains the quality and health of the printer devices that are either connected locally or networked. PortResolver’s main task is to determine which specific port a particular online request was received. It has a user interface that routes the Servlet requests to its proper port, in order to ensure that the URL is correctly and properly directed to prevent occurring browser issues such as power failure or improper system shut down or crash. The PortResolver may fail to load at times during its installation process, caused by an erroneous command entry or entry without the Hostname file. Such technical issue is resolved by navigating through the System file, and opening the Hostname Folder under the Etc Folder, and making sure that the showing entry is a valid or correct IP address as well as proper DNS entry.
