HP UPD - System Administrator's Guide HP UPD 5.6.5

4 Pre-configure the default settings and
print policy for HP UPD
Introduction
This chapter outlines several options for configuring the default behavior of the HP UPD. The options vary
based on the installation method selected. Review each option to determine which method is right for your
environment. You can pre-configure the HP UPD default settings before, during, or after driver installation.
NOTE: In order to prevent any network traffic from a HP UPD driver to the LDAP server, printer status
notification must be disabled. See also
SNP default behavior on page 186.
The table at the end of this chapter, Overview of configurable functions and pre-configuration utilities
on page 22, lists the available settings for each pre-configuration utility and installation method. This
chapter provides some representative examples, but is not a comprehensive list of available settings. The
information in this chapter will help you select an option that best meets your needs.
In addition to the default driver settings, you can also create a print policy using the available tools to limit
access to certain print features such as restricting printing after a specific time or not allowing color printing.
The following sections explain the methods available for configuring the HP UPD default settings and
creating a print policy:
●
Configure the HP UPD default settings using INSTALL.EXE during driver installation
●
Configure the HP UPD default settings and/or print policy using the HP Managed Printing Administration
(HP MPA)
●
Configure the HP UPD default settings and/or print policy using Group Policy Objects in Active Directory
●
Pre-configure the HP UPD default settings using HP Driver Configuration Utility
●
Pre-configure the HP UPD default settings using HP Driver Deployment Utility
●
Configure the HP UPD default settings after driver installation in driver preferences
●

Configure the HP UPD default settings using INSTALL.EXE during
driver installation
The HP UPD installer allows some driver default settings to be modified via command line options. Some of
these switches will change the system-wide behavior of the HP UPD, while other changes are specific to a
single print queue.
