Microsoft Operating System: HP supports the following Microsoft methods for print driver install or
upgrade of the HP UPD:
●
Add Print Wizard: Accessible from Printers folder — wizard based installation for new printer
install and driver upgrade.
●
Add Driver Wizard/Replace Driver: From the Printers folder select either File-Server
Properties-Drivers tab (XP, Vista, Server 2003, Server 2008) or select a printer name, select
the Print Server Properties button (Windows 7, Server 2008R2). Methods available include
◦
Add Driver — new driver installation, creating a new printer and adds driver version to the
Microsoft driver store.
◦
Replace driver — for the selected printer, replaces the currently used driver with a driver of
the same name taken from the Microsoft driver store.
●
Print Management Console: See Microsoft documentation.
●
PrintUI: Allows common print administration tasks from a command prompt or script, including
adding a new printer, delete existing printing, add or remove host connections.
●
pnputil: Add or remove HP UPD (use with Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 2008 R2).
Allows addition of the driver to the driverstore, but does not create a printer.
HP Driver Deployment Utility: A utility that packages pre-configured HP UPD installation files, and
the code needed to deploy them, into an *.EXE and *.CAB file. These files are run on the client PC to
copy the driver files to the Windows driver store, and optionally, install the printer.
HP Web Jetadmin: Administrators can create, edit, and delete printers and install or update print
drivers by using the Print Management features in HP Web Jetadmin.
Point and Print: The HP UPD can be vended from a server to clients connected to a shared printer,
performing either a new printer install or driver upgrade.
NOTE: HP UPD also supports USB Plug and Play, which is not an installation method for the driver,
but instead a method for an already installed printer driver to create a new printer instance in the
printer's folder.
