In this scenario the administrator upgrades the existing HP drivers on an existing client to the
latest version of the HP UPD.
Client Driver deployment and Software Distribution Systems
Printer driver installation must be done through an account that has administrator rights on the client
PC. This is how the Windows operating system is designed, and it is for good security reasons.
If all the client users have administrator rights, the HP UPD can be deployed with the following
methods.
● Create a login script that will perform the installation.
● Put the HP UPD on local file system or a file share that is accessible to all users.
If the client users do not have administrative rights, then the installations need to be done either by
someone that has administrator rights, or by a software distribution system.
Details about specific software distribution systems (SDS) are beyond the scope of this document,
however some general guidelines can be offered. The steps in this document should be compatible
with any SDS that has the following capabilities.
●
Create a package that contains a program (install.exe) and the driver.
●
Deploy the package to the client(s).
● Log on as an administrator, and run the program (install.exe) with HP UPD's command line
options.
