Settings retention—The settings retained during an upgrade are dependent upon how the driver was first
installed. If the HP UPD was installed in dynamic mode, or traditional mode with the generic printer name "HP
Universal Printing PDL," driver settings will be retained during upgrade. If the HP UPD was installed using
traditional mode with the version-specific printer name "HP Universal Printing PDL (vX.Y.Z)" or "HP Universal
Printing PDL (vX.Y)" for HP UPD v5.4 and earlier, every setting will not be retained during the upgrade. Those
settings not retained will assume defaults of the newly installed driver. Settings that are retained include the
following:

Upgrade steps—HP recommends the following steps to upgrade the HP UPD on print servers. These steps
complete a sequence of events to ensure the administrator’s personal print settings are not applied to the
printer during the driver version upgrade, that settings applied become the default settings of the shared
printer and Point and Print clients, and all file changes as a result of driver upgrade are completely registered
to the system. The steps are not scriptable using supported methods, and dependent upon environment size
should be accounted for in project planning.
1. Login in using an account with "Manage Printers" permission to the print server (i.e.- the Administrator
account, or an account from the Administrator's or Power Users group).
2. From command prompt (Start-Run, type cmd, press enter). Type the following command at the
prompt: control printers and then press enter.
