HP OfficeJet Pro X and HP PageWide Pro Series - IT Administrators Install Guide

Plug and Play Suppression
The installer supports adding a registry value that will instruct Windows to ignore the serial
number when plug and playing a USB printer (for the printer model being installed). This will
allow an Enterprise to service a USB printer at a user’s desk, and return a printer with a
different serial number which, when connected to the PC, will appear as if it were the same
printer to the user.
To enable this feature, set the property IGNORE_SERIALNUM to “YES”. For example, if
using msiexec.exe:
msiexec.exe /i D3050x86.msi /qn ENTERPRISE=YES IGNORE_SERIALNUM=YES
Common Msiexec Command Line Parameters
This section documents some useful common parameters for msiexec.exe in order to make
it easier to configure the install of the HP MSIs.
The following document at Microsoft’s website provides more thorough documentation of
msiexec: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759262(WS.10).aspx
Please refer to the Microsoft documentation for further questions. In the event that anything
described in this section conflicts with Microsoft documentation, it should be assumed that
the Microsoft documentation is correct.
Installing
Installing an MSI is done by passing the path to msiexec with the /i parameter:
msiexec.exe /i D:\D3050x86.msi
Specifying Logging
Logging can be enabled on the command line by passing the /l parameter, followed by the
logging options, and then the log filename:
msiexec.exe /i D:\D3050x86.msi /l*v C:\Logs\D3050_Install.log
*v as the log level will give a full, verbose log. For more detailed explanations of the log
levels, please see the following Microsoft Web page:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759262(WS.10).aspx
Specifying the UI Level
The UI level can be specified using the /q parameter. This will determine whether any UI is
shown and whether Windows Installer will show any prompts to the user (for reboots or error
messages, for example). There is no authored UI in the HP MSIs, so the basic UI will be
used without specifying any value. This parameter can still be used to suppress all UI and
any prompts.
Example:
msiexec.exe /i D:\D3050x86.msi /qn
