HP UPD - Driver Configuration Support Guide

●
Universal Print Driver - an embedded INF installer for the HP Universal Print Driver is a
resident part of the Print Management solution. The HP Universal Print Driver Post Script is
available here as an installed feature.
●
Known Drivers - drivers that are already installed on the remote host or drivers that exist on
the HP Web Jetadmin server (INF driver install base). These drivers, when identified for use
with the print queue, are added to the queue as it is being installed. Show all drivers, when
checked, enables the display of all drivers, not just the ones that are specific to the selected
device.
●
Upload Driver - provides a browse path to INF driver installers on the local HP Web
Jetadmin client host. These driver files must all exist together in the same directory.

Fleet management of print queues
Within the Print Management view, HP Web Jetadmin has the capability of installing queues and
drivers onto multiple remote hosts. This fleet queue creation can be done remotely from the HP Web
Jetadmin client interface and in a configuration session.
Users of the Print Management feature could be IT personnel in school districts. These personnel
may have responsibility over desktop print functionality and print devices in remote and wide
geographic distribution. On top of the remote distribution problem, large numbers of workstations and
different restrictions apply. Consider this problem:
●
Each school in the district has obtained a color MFP.
●
A dozen to several hundred student workstations could exist in each school.
●
Staff are allowed to print color but students are not.
●
IT has full administrative access to all of the workstations.
HP Web Jetadmin could result in substantial savings in this environment. Preconfiguration could be
used on drivers deployed to student workstations. All drivers and queues could be deployed through
the Create Print Queue tool in a few configuration sessions. Travel to each of the schools could be
reduced to a bare minimum.
