Manage virtual printers
In some environments, it is not possible for the HP UPD to communicate with the destination printer. This
might occur because the HP UPD and the printer are not on the same network, there is a firewall, or
communication has been disabled for some other reason. In these environments, the HP UPD is unable to
determine the physical capabilities of the product, and only basic printing options are provided to the user.
NOTE: The use of virtual printers requires HP UPD 5.3.1 or later and HP MPA 2.6.3 or later.
By using the Use the device configuration from a virtual printer option and then selecting one of the
previously defined HP MPA virtual printers, the administrator can enable the HP UPD to act as though it
communicated with the target product. The administrator can also set up the driver features as though the
product detected the specific hardware features. Once a virtual printer is selected, the capabilities of that
virtual printer are displayed for the administrator.
