HP UPD - System Administrator's Guide HP UPD 5.6.5

1. From the Device and Printers folder, select Add Printer.
2. Assign the previously used port to the new printer object.
3. Select the HP UPD v5.3 or higher version specific driver to the printer (for example, HP Universal
Printing PCL6 (v5.3)).
4. Name the printer object to a temporary name, one that has never been used on the system (for
example, PCL6-COLOR). Complete the install.
5. Select the printer object PCL6-COLOR-TEMP from the Device and Printers folder.
6. Select Printer Properties. Change the printer’s name to the original printer name before it was deleted
(for example, PCL6-COLOR).
7. Apply custom settings to the printer (duplex, shortcuts, etc.).
Point and print
If the printer queue was shared, Windows XP point and print clients might need to reset their connection to
the print server following the server’s delete and recreate event of the shared printer name. This can be
accomplished using the PRNCON tool available in the HP PARK. For more information on the HP PARK in this
document, see
HP Print Administrator's Resource Kit (PARK) on page 203.
Automating the steps
For large scale environments, HP recommends using the AutoUpgradeUPD tool available in the HP PARK. This
utility deletes the defined print queue(s) and creates a new print queue(s) using the same printer name,
comments, location, and assigned port while applying the specified new driver version. During the print
queue delete and recreate process that is completed by the tool, only the print queue name, port, location,
comments, share name, and share state will be retained. All the other settings on the new print queue will be
set to HP UPD factory defaults. Administrator’s can define custom default settings for the newly created
queues (for example, duplex or grayscale) used by the AutoUpdateUPD by incorporating the Driver
Configuration Utility into the solution, also available in the HP PARK. Please reference the HP PARK for
complete instructions, or for more information on the HP PARK in this document, see
HP Print Administrator's
Resource Kit (PARK) on page 203.
