data is sent, the device will either generate an error or unexpected print output may occur.

able to handle the color data properly. However, the driver color tab may not display.
Steps to disable the Printer Automatic Configuration
Disabling the Printer Automatic Configuration is accomplished through pre-configuration of the UPD
driver before installation onto the client or server. The HP Driver Configuration Utility available for
download from the HP public website:
www.hp.com/go/upd
NOTE: The DCU is included with the HP Printer Administrator´s Resource Kit (PARK). To download
the PARK, which includes the DCU software and the HP Driver Configuration Support Guide, go to
http://www.hp.com/go/upd and select Download software. Verify your language and then your
operating system (the DCU is supported on both 32 and 64–bit systems). From the table that lists the
HP Printer Administrator´s Resource Kit, click Download.
1. Using the Driver Configuration Utility, locate the HP UPD driver files and open the *.cfg file. If
you have previously modified the driver, open the *.cfm file.
NOTE: If you use HP UPD 4.7 or older, open the *.cf_ file.
