User profile considerations for Current model
Please note that setting the printer model from the “Printer Properties” window requires that the user is included
in the system’s administrators group, if not, although the “Your printer has been configured as a new model” may
appear, the new settings will not be applied and the Current Model will not be updated.
Current model in client-server
In a client-server scenario, the current model combo box is only available from the server. The client is able to
view the current model but is not able to modify the setting. The process is that printer model modifications will
be completed in the server, and the client follows current selections in the server. Whenever the client needs the
printer reads current printer model in the serve, and modifies its printer accordingly.
Due to an architectural limitation, the new printer model in the server is available to the client’s computers one
minute after the modification is completed in the server. During that minute after the modification, clients use
the previous model.
Generic Printer
The user can select a Generic Printer model when he wants to print to a non-supported printer model. This
Generic model offers a subset of common features that are common to the Designjet portfolio. There is a Generic
Model for HP-GL/2 and one for PS3.
