Printing system installer
HP Color LaserJet 4550 Software Technical Reference 10
The following Descriptions explain the available options:
• /u Signals the installer to use the specified port and printer given on the command
line (or in this file), and use all default selections. Installation then proceeds without
prompting the user.
• /port=xxxx Used to specify the default port when doing an unattended install. The
value specified by xxxx should be a valid port and should contain no spaces.
• /printer=n Used to specify the default printer when doing an unattended install. The
value specified by n is an integer that references the list of available printers. For
example, the following printers are available for the HP Color LaserJet 4550
installation:
0 = HP Color LaserJet 4550
1 = HP Color LaserJet 4550N
2 = HP Color LaserJet 4550DN
3 = HP Color LaserJet 4550HDN
• /pd=n Used to specify whether the selected printer is the default printer, when you
have multiple printers connected to your network. The value specified by n is an
integer (i.e., 0 or 1). For this argument, entering 1 sets the selected printer as the
default printer. Entering zero sets the printer as a non-default printer.
You can preset these options in the SETUP.1ST file located on in the root directory of
the CD-ROM. In the [Defaults] section, add the following syntax:
[Defaults]
Options= /port=<value> /printer=<number> /pd=<number>
