NOTE:

The Windows Add Printer Wizard does not provide any customization options. If you install the HP UPD by using this method, the driver installs so that the user has common printing functionality.

NOTE:

Use the Install.exe command to create traditional mode queues (only) on your print server.

At the command prompt, type C:\Folder\Install /option , where Folder is the location of the INSTALL.EXE file, / is a forward slash, and option is the command option. For a list of available command options, see Available command options . Use the command options to control the installation and the behavior of the HP UPD after installation.

For example, to make the installation completely silent by making it available through an .EXE-based administration tool (such as SMS), type the following syntax:

C:\folder\Install /q /h

Or, to install the driver in dynamic mode, type the following:

C:\folder\Install /dm

Configure default print settings while installing by command prompt install

The HP UPD installs with automatic configuration enabled by default and requires a specific installation procedure. The HP UPD requires that certain COM objects be registered and initialized in order to perform the automatic configuration of the products during setup. Please follow the instructions below to install the HP UPD in a Windows Cluster server environment.

The HP UPD must be installed and initialized on every physical node that makes up the cluster environment before creating queues on the virtual servers. HP recommends installing the HP UPD in traditional mode and creating an LPT1 port on the nodes. After the printer is created, it can be deleted from the Node’s Printers and Faxes folder if desired. This will leave the HP UPD driver intact and properly initialized.

Only traditional mode printer queues can be shared from any of the Microsoft based print servers. Sharing of dynamic mode queues is not supported on any print servers using the HP UPD.

Repeat Step 1 on each physical node before proceeding.

1. Install the driver on each physical node in the cluster, using the Add Printer Driver Wizard .
   1. Download the latest version of the HP UPD from the following Web site: www.hp.com/go/upd
   2. Log into or remotely connect to one of the nodes.
   3. Open the Printers folder.
   4. Click Add Printer .
   5. Select Local printer attached to this computer . Click Next .
   6. Click Use the following port and select LPT1: (Recommended) Printer Port .
   7. Click Next .
   8. Browse to your HP UPD Installation files and click Next .
   9. Follow the rest of the Add Printer Wizard procedure to complete the installation. See Windows client/server: Use the Add Printer Wizard for more information.
2. Install the HP UPD on the virtual print server.
   Installing the HP UPD on the virtual server is similar to installing the HP UPD on any print server. Install the traditional Mode of the driver, using the Add Printer Wizard.
   1. Log into the active node of the cluster. You can log in while at the machine or remotely.
   2. Access the virtual print server by clicking Start , then Run , and then typing the
      \\virtualservername
   3. Open the Printers folder.
   4. Run the Add Printer Wizard and install the driver in traditional mode.

Alternative install with printer automatic configuration disabled

If the HP UPD cannot be installed on every physical node in your cluster, you can follow the steps below to disable Printer automatic configuration and install HP UPD.

Please refer to the section in this guide for disabling bidirectional communications. These steps assume that you will be using the DCU utility to disable the bidirectional communication functionality as well as save the configuration file as CFM in order to retain the digital signature driver files.

Use the DCU (Driver Configuration Utility) tool to disable the bidirectional setting as well and preset other default settings as you wish. Once the cfm file has been created, it resides in the HP UPD driver folder where the files are located. Copy this cfm file to the virtual server w32x86\3 folder before installing printer queues using HP UPD.

Use the following steps to copy the cfm file to the proper folder prior to creating printer queues on the virtual server.

1. Browse to the print$ share of the virtual server. Enter \\virtualserver\print$ You have accessed the Printers folder for the Physical node that is hosting the virtual server. You will see a few folders here representing both the printing environment for the Physical Node as well as the GUID folder which represents the virtual server printing environment. The print$ folder will appear with the following folders:
   • \BIDI
   • \color
   • \e7776de2-fbd9-4644-9jdt-0jsy —Virtual Server printing folder
   • \w32x86–Physical node printing folder
2. Browse to the folder with the long GUID as the file name. Your GUID name will be different. This is the print environment for the virtual server.
3. Browse to the \Drivers\w32x86\3 directory of the GUID folder
4. Copy the cfm file previously created by the DCU utility here.
5. Use the Microsoft recommended method to create printers using the Add Printer Wizard .

HP supports the HP UPD 4.5 and later in Citrix and Terminal Server environments. HP has tested the HP Universal Printing PCL6, HP Universal Printing PCL5, and the HP Universal Printing PS drivers in Citrix environments.

For network printers, the HP UPD can be installed in dynamic mode on the Citrix server for all clients to access as a universal driver.

When the HP UPD is installed on the Terminal Server or Citrix server in traditional mode, it can be used as the printer driver of choice for the fallback or auto-created printers.

For auto created printers, the HP Universal Print PCL 5 driver can be mapped to all PCL 5-capable HP client printers or the HP Universal Print postscript emulation driver to all postscript-capable HP client printers through driver mapping in the Citrix management tools.

For further information see the HP white paper "HP Printers Supported in Citrix Presentation Server Environments" on www.hp.com/go/upd .

Versions of Terminal Server and Citrix supported by HP

See System requirements .

Known limitations of the HP UPD when used for auto– created printers or redirected printers with client printers that are directly attached

The HP UPD, outside a Citrix environment, has the ability to configure itself according to the configuration of the printer by communicating directly with the printer.

HP UPD 4.5 and higher is limited when installed on the Citrix Presentation Server and mapped for auto created printers. It cannot communicate with directly attached printers, such as by USB.

If the printer is connected to a network, automatic configuration is supported. For full feature support of locally connected printers, HP recommends the Citrix UPD be mapped to the HP UPD on the client.

For directly attached printers on the client, the HP UPD PCL driver defaults to black and white, no extra trays, no product-specific paper handling, etc.

HP UPD in a traditional Mode installation, not in dynamic mode, is supported. This includes use of the HP UPD's Enterprise Auto Configuration capabilities (bidirectional communication between printer product and HP UPD enables the driver user interface to change showing the functionality provided by the product). In addition, preconfiguration of the driver using the HP Driver Configuration Utility is supported so administrators can define defaults before driver installation.

Since Novell does not provide a way for the HP UPD to query the product configuration from the printer, the HP UPD only makes the default settings available. No trays, output bins, or other printer specific features are visible in the driver user interface.

iPrint cannot present the correct printer driver options to the administrator to configure the PDP when the driver is universal.

For additional details on using iPrint's Print Driver Profile, see www.novell.com/support/viewContent.do?externalId=7001400 .

Enterprise Auto Configuration (bidirectional communciation) can be turned off through the HP Driver Configuration Utility.

Install the HP UPD in a Novell environment

To add the HP UPD driver and create the printer on the server, go to a computer that has the iPrint client installed.

1. Unpack the UPD installer but do not run the installer. Just have it unpack itself to the local PC.
2. Upload the driver to the Novell server by using the Novell iManager web page.
   1. Select the Manage Broker task.
   2. Click the RMS Drivers tab.
   3. Click the Add from file button.
   4. Select the HP UPD inf file, and click OK.
      The driver will begin to upload to the server. This process can take several minutes. Do not touch the Internet Explorer (IE) window while it is doing this.
   5. When it is done, you should see the HP UPD driver in the driver list.
3. Create an HP UPD printer on the server by using the Novell iManager web page.
   1. Select the Create Printer task.
   2. Type a printer name and click Next .
   3. Type an IP address and click Next .
   4. Select the HP UPD driver in the Microsoft Windows XP driver dropdown.
   5. Click Next or OK to create the printer.

To use the newly created printer on a PC.

1. Close any browser windows that you have open.
2. Install the iPrint client on the PC.
3. Go to the IPP printer page on the Novell server, that is, http://foo.example.com/ipp.
4. Click the newly created printer.
   You will get a message stating that the printer needs to be installed.
5. Click OK .
   The driver will download and install. This will take a few minutes.

The printer is now installed on the local PC and will route print jobs to the Novell server.

NDPS

The HP UPD will function with limited capabilities in the Novell NDPS environment. This is due to the HP UPD not being able to communicate with the product directly, therefore loosing the ability to gather product-specific information back from the printers.

The HP UPD can only be used in traditional mode in the NDPS environment. In this mode, the HP UPD operates the same as a product-specific driver.

Since Novell does not provide a way for the UPD to query the product configuration from the printer, the HP UPD will only make the default settings available. No trays, no output bins, or other printer specific features will be visible in the driver user interface.

The latest patches for iPrint and Winspool must be applied to get the advanced printing features supported (such as N-up and Watermarks). URLs related to this information will be forthcoming.

The HP UPD can be installed for use with plug and play products as either a hardware first or a software first installation.

Hardware first installation

In a hardware first installation, a USB cable is connected to the PC first and then the HP UPD is installed. When the operating system detects that no driver is installed for the connected product, it will prompt for a disk or a location from which to install the driver. This method requires that the user be logged on to an account with administrator privileges.

• Download and unzip the HP UPD from www.hp.com/go/upd .
• Plug in the product USB cable.
• When prompted, browse to the location where the HP UPD was downloaded and unzipped.

Software first (unattended) installation

In a software first installation, the HP UPD has already been pre-loaded on the PC, and will be found and used by the operating system when the new product is connected. This method does not require any interaction by the current user, and does not require the user to have administrator privileges.

Pre-configure the HP UPD for use with software first installation

To pre-configure the HP UPD for a Software first, plug and play installation, use the HP Driver Distribution Utility (DDU), and select the Preload the Driver option. This method creates a package with a setup.exe utility that is easy to deploy interactively or via scripting.
