HP UPD - System Administrator's Guide HP UPD 5.6.5

Example steps to initiate Printer Automatic Configuration via command line
1. Note the Printer Name and Platform Specific DLL of the installed HP UPD. From the system's Devices
and Printers folder, right mouse on the printer name and select Properties, About to locate the
HPMUX*.DLL and the installed driver name instance.
Figure 7-5 Locate the platform specific DLL
2. Open a command prompt: START-RUN-CMD.EXE [enter]
C:\> rundll32 %systemroot%\system32\spool\drivers
\w32x86\3\hpmux091.dll,UpdateStaticModePrinter "HP Universal Printing
PCL 5 (v5.0)" /q
User dialogue box opens stating, “Getting printer information… Establishing Communication with
printer… Finishing printer validation”
3. Open the HP UPD Printer Properties-About tab and check the Configuration Status box. The status
should display the current system date for Last configured xx/yy/zzzz and default options for the
printer or HP UPD preconfigurations of the driver will be displayed in the HP UPD user interface.
Disable Printer Automatic Configuration
UPD installed services provide bi-directional I/O capability outside the context of the user, application, or
print job. Most printing functions will work without the driver to device communication, and print quality and
speed are not affected by the services enablement. UPD 4.7 added support for manual configuration of the
driver to both enable and configure device capabilities without requiring Automatic Update to be enabled.
The Installable Options section of the UPD’s Device Settings tab can be manually defined using Driver
Configuration Utility or the HP Driver Deployment Utility.
