HP UPD - System Administrator's Guide HP UPD 5.6.5

Table 7-2 Pre-configuration method (continued)
Pre-configuration method Notes
Managed Printing Administrator HP MPA allows an administrator to pre-set the job storage settings. The job storage
settings are configured inside the Managed Print Policies in the Default Print Settings.
Create a new template in the Default Print Settings and use the Private Printing option
to choose the storage option and lock option. See
Manage the HP UPD using HP MPA
on page 88 for more information.
NOTE: The HP MPA is available for both dynamic and traditional mode installations.
HP UPD Active Directory Template The Default Print Settings section is used to enable and configure the job storage
feature. Enable the feature and choose the Private Printing option. See Manage the HP
UPD with Active Directory Group Policy for more details.
NOTE: The HP UPD Active Directory Template is available for both dynamic and
traditional mode installations.
HP Driver Deployment Utility The HP DDU tool utilizes the Driver Pre-configure Utility to allow an administrator to
pre-configure the driver settings prior to creating the driver package. Please refer to
the Readme notes accompanying the HP DDU tool for additional details.
NOTE: The HP DDU is available for traditional mode installations only.
Printer Automatic Configuration
This section contains information on using printer automatic configuration.
Device Automatic Configuration defined
Within the Universal Print Driver's (HP UPD) core functionality is Automatic Configuration enabling the
HP UPD driver user interface to change to reflect the supported capabilities of the target print device.
Automatic configuration occurs through bidirectional communication between the product and a HP UPD.
This communication can occur over the network or to a USB direct connect product. When the user installs
the driver the default printer model options will be base model. Successful implementation requires the
HP UPD installed bidirectional services (Net Driver HPZ12 and Pml Driver HPZ12) are loaded, the correct port
settings, and the target product is available direct connect to the host or over the network. If the
communication is successful, the printer options will be updated in the driver user interface. This process of
the HP UPD sending request and accepting responses directly between the driver and the device is referred as
'bidi' for bidirectional communication. The HP UPD driver user interface options will change to enable
features of the target device based on the result of the response query (installable trays, Duplexer,
Accessory Output Bin, HP Easy Color, etc). If the communication is unsuccessful, the driver will still have base
model functionality presented in the HP UPD driver user interface and extended options will not be displayed
or available for use during File-Print.
The benefit of Printer Auto-Configuration is enabling the driver to query the printer and recognize the
products’s capabilities with a level of automation and accuracy.
Printer Automatic Configuration can only be launched in the following methods:
1. HP UPD driver installation (automatic update to all queues utilizing the HP UPD driver)
2. Dynamic mode—Each time Print is selected from the HP UPD client.
