HP UPD - Driver Configuration Support Guide

Configuration file *.cfm: The *.cfm file is not deployed as part of the standard driver installation
package. This restricts its use to local installations. Utilization requires that the .cfm reside on the
local machine's driver installation directory before the HP UPD's installation. When the HP UPD
installation is launched, the settings defined in the *.cfm file become the installed defaults. If both a
*.cf_ or *.cfg and a *.cfm file exist, the *.cfm file in the local machine's driver installation directory
takes priority. Following the installation, the hpcpu*.cfm changes to hpcpu*.cf_ on the local machine's
driver directory maintaining the administrator's installation defaults of the original *.cfm file.
Pre-configure the HP UPD
Use the following steps to pre-configure the HP UPD:
1. Run the HP Driver Configuration Utility. Double-click HPBCFGAP.EXE.
NOTE: The application automatically opens in the language specified within Region and
Languages.
2. The Information dialog box appears.
This dialog box warns users that, depending on how the driver is installed, a Windows Hardware
Quality Labs (WHQL) Digital Signature Warning will appear. Changing the configuration of the
driver does not impact the performance or quality of the driver. Changing the configuration may
invalidate the driver's digital signature and triggers the appearance of this dialog box.

3. Open a driver configuration file (cfg) or an existing cfm file, and modify settings to your
requirements.
4. Save the changes.
File-Save: Saves the file to the same filename from where it was opened.
File-Save As: Allows you to select file name and extension. If only a file name is used, then
the application saves the file as (filename).cfg to the defined directory. In order to save the
file as a cfm, you must type the extension .cfm after the file name.
