monitor is used. For cases where locally installed products are selected, the LPTX, USB00X, or DOT4
port will be used. This depends on the USB protocol that is negotiated between the HP UPD, and the
product.
HP has its own version of the TCP/IP port monitor for communicating with network products. It is not
part of the installer package of the HP UPD.
For cases where the HP UPD is pointed to an existing print queue shared out from a print server instead
of a printer itself, the “HP UNC Port” monitor is used.
For cases where locally installed products are selected, the LPTX, USB00X, or Dot4 port will be used.
This depends on the USB protocol that is negotiated between the HP UPD, and the product.
6. Is it possible to suppress the HP UPD Status Notification Pop-ups (SNPs) on the client machine installed
from a print server?
Yes, see
Use Status Notification Pop-ups on page 185 for more information about managing SNPs.
7. How do I set defaults for the driver on the server so all installs have the same defaults?
Configure the driver using the HP Driver Configuration Utility.
8. How does the static mode install command line switch work?
The static mode install command line switch, in versions 3.0 and newer, uses the port name specified by
the /sm switch if the specified port exists. If that port does not exists, the HP UPD install creates a new
port. In the normal operation of printing with the HP UPD, once the printer binds to a port, the job is
delivered to that port (and associated port monitor) no matter what the port is named.
9. If my product can be discovered by the HP UPD via mDNS but cannot communicate via SNMP, what is the
issue?
If the product can be discovered by way of mDNS but cannot communicate by way of SNMP, it is possible
that Jetdirect is configured so that SNMP is disabled. It is also possible that SNMP is disabled or might
be using a non-default SNMP community name.
10. Can the HP UPD installation change the target port's SNMP community name (i.e. can it replace the
current name and with a different SNMP community name)?
Yes. You can set or change the community name in the port using INSTALL.EXE. The installer switch was
put there to set the community name at the time the port is created. Example: /gcomname”name”.
11. What version did the HP UPD begin using unique file names?
Starting with HP UPD v4.5, driver file names for each release are uniquely named to prevent overwriting
existing files that might have shared dependency. Beginning with HP UPD v4.7, more than one version
can be installed when using HP UPD in traditional mode onto the host, if during the installation process
the model specific version of the HP UPD was selected through the Add Printer Wizard and, beginning
with HP UPD v5.0, using the /m switch with INSTALL.EXE.
Beginning with HP UPD v5.3, more than one version can be installed when using HP UPD in dynamic
mode.
NOTE: HP UPD v5.2.6 and earlier require that the full name and version are provided with the /m
switch, for example “HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v5.2)”. HP UPD v5.3 and later does not require the full
name or version when using the /m switch.
