When the Update Now feature is used for a printer driver that is already installed. However, as shown in the following table, printer-driver auto configuration and EAC are not available in bit Windows operating systems over a direct connection when the printing-system software is installed by using the Add Printer Wizard.
Direct connection is a parallel or USB port connection. Availability of automatic discovery and printer- driver configuration through bidirectional communication in Windows Connection type. Bidirectional communication In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the product during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the printer driver accordingly.
Bidirectional communication is the capability of the product to respond to data inquiries from the computer, such as inquiries regarding the type of print media that is available and the accessories that are connected to the product. Bidirectional communication depends on the network operating system and on the type of connection that exists between the computer and the product.
If the connection does not have this capability, the product can accept commands but cannot respond to data inquiries from the host computer. Enterprise AutoConfiguration Enterprise AutoConfiguration EAC uses bidirectional communication to provide autoconfiguration functionality for installation of the printer driver over a network, whether you use the installer on the Admin CD or the Add Printer Wizard to install the printer driver.
Printer-driver installation that includes EAC is configured with the same settings as the physical configuration of the product. Configuration occurs without user interaction. If bidirectional-communication software has been installed previously, EAC is not activated, and the pre-existing bidirectional-communication software is used to configure the printer driver.
If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectional-communication software that allows it to communicate with the product and automatically match the printer driver with the product configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the printer driver or whenever the Update Now feature is used.
If the product configuration changes after installation, the printer driver can be automatically updated by using the Update Now feature in environments that support bidirectional communication.
Update Now If the product configuration changes after installation, the printer driver can be automatically updated by using the Update Now feature in environments that support bidirectional communication. For example, if the product is installed and an optional paper-handling accessory is added later, use Update Now to query the product and update the printer-driver settings to match the new product configuration.
The Update Now feature automatically updates the registry and changes the configuration information that appears on the Device Settings tab of the HP PCL 6 printer driver. To activate Update Now , follow these steps:. Click Start , and then do one of the following:. Windows : Select Settings , and then click Printers. If necessary, click Installable Options to expand it and show the options.
In the Automatic Configuration drop-down menu, select Update Now. HP Web Jetadmin HP Web Jetadmin is a software architecture and set of tools for customizing and distributing HP printing-system software in managed corporate printing environments. Using HP Web Jetadmin, information technology IT administrators in corporate and enterprise environments can preconfigure the printing and product defaults for HP printer drivers before installing the printer drivers in the network environment.
HP Web Jetadmin is most beneficial when configuring printer drivers for multiple workstations or print servers for print queues that share the same configuration. Two types of features can be configured:. HP Web Jetadmin configures the printer driver to match the accessories that are installed on the product, or to match the settings that IT administrators make in the configuration.
CFG file for example, optional trays, total amount of memory, or job-storage settings. These steps can be accomplished in different ways, depending on the tool that is being used to define the configuration. Printer-driver preconfiguration is supported through four tools.
All four are designed with the same basic user-interface UI controls for interacting with the. CFG file, but are packaged differently, either to support established product installation workflows or to allow the user to deploy and install the printer driver. The following tools support printer-driver preconfiguration:. HP Driver Configuration Editor.
The HP Driver Configuration Editor is a small standalone Windows-based software program that administrators can use to open the. CFG file that is associated with a particular printer driver and make modifications that are applied when that printer driver is installed on the host computer.
Use it in environments that have an established process for deploying printer drivers. It is used in the same way as any ordinary Windows-based software program. Newsletter News from ReviverSoft.
