Disabling HP Smart Install (if present)
Several low-end HP LaserJet models have HP Smart Install enabled by default. If the HP UPD driver should be
used during a plug and play event, HP Smart Install must be disabled at the control panel before starting the
install process.
How to disable HP Smart Install
●
On products with an LCD display (2 line display), use the right arrow to scroll to and select the Services
menu, scroll down to HP Smart Install, and then change the setting to Off.
●
On products with a touch screen, touch the tools icon, touch the Services menu, scroll down to HP Smart
Install, and then change the setting to Off.
Instead of disabling HP Smart Install using the front panel, disable HP Smart Install using the HP Embedded
Web Server of the product (from the HP Smart Install tab) or with the HP Smart Install Utility (SIUtility.exe
and SIUtility64.exe) that requires the printer to be connected to the network before using the USB
connection. See also:

Disable obtaining driver software from Windows Update by default (optional)
When a USB device is connected, Windows always searches for Windows Update. It is possible to disable this
feature and only use previously installed drivers when connecting a USB device. This will speed up the
installation time.
1. From the Start menu in Search programs and files, type change device installation settings. The option
displays in the Programs list.
