HP UPD - System Administrator's Guide HP UPD 5.6.5

Use the pop-up window to enable/disable SNP
It is possible to alter the behavior of the SNPs within the pop-up window by using the Notifications Settings
tab. To view the Notification settings, click the Notifications Settings link any time the pop-up is visible.
NOTE: The Notification Settings tab only displays in the pop-up window in an environment where no
Managed Print Policies appear on the network.
The options available for configuration are as follows:
●
Enabled. Allows the user to select whether the pop-ups appear based on the condition of the printer
status. Choose from three levels of severity as to when you wish the pop-ups to appear.
●
Disabled. Allows the user to permanently disable the pop-up window for any printer condition.
Manage the SNP with the HP Driver Configuration Utility
The HP Driver Configuration utility is a software program that Information Technology (IT) administrators can
use to pre-configure the HP UPD before deploying and installing on an operating system. It is most beneficial
when configuring the HP UPD for multiple workstations or printer servers for print queues that share the
same configuration.
Follow these steps to pre-configure the SNP behavior of the HP UPD:
1. Download and open the Driver Configuration utility.
Open
www.hp.com/go/upd and select download software. Select a product (can be any) and operating
system (can be any) and download the Printer Administrator Resource Kit (PARK) which contains the
driver configuration utility.
NOTE: Depending on how the HP UPD driver is installed, a message might open indicating that
changes made to the HP UPD might invalidate the digital signature and Microsoft might display a
warning message. The warning message is normal behavior. Click OK to continue.
2. Click File, then Open and browse to the directory where the HP UPD is located.
3. Select the .CFG file for the HP UPD and click Open.
4. Click Device settings and expand the Printer Status Notification listing by clicking the +.
NOTE: Changing a driver .CFG file breaks the driver signature (WHQL). Driver settings can also be
changed without breaking the signature by saving the changes as a .CFM file. The *.CFM file can be used
during driver installation when using INSTALL.EXE with the option /gcfm or by copying the file to
windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x83\3 (for 32-bit systems) or windows\system32\spool\drivers
\x64 (for 64-bit systems) before installation.
5. Select the desired pop-up options.
6. Click File and Save As. Then save the file as a .cfm file with the same name as the original file to the
same directory as the original file.

Guide.
