HP Driver Preconfiguration
HP Driver Preconfiguration is a software architecture and set of tools that permits HP printing-system
software to be customized and distributed in managed corporate printing environments. Using HP Driver
Preconfiguration, information technology (IT) administrators in corporate and enterprise environments
can preconfigure the printing and device defaults for HP print drivers before installing the drivers in the
network environment.
HP Driver Preconfiguration is most beneficial when configuring print drivers for multiple workstations or
print servers for print queues that share the same configuration. Two types of features can be configured:
●
device settings
●
printing-preferences settings
The driver is configured to match the product hardware so that access to all of the product accessories
through the driver is enabled correctly (for example, for duplexing units and additional input trays). Most
driver feature settings can also be configured.
HP Driver Preconfiguration configures the 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, job-storage settings, or mopier settings).
The preconfiguration process consists of three basic steps:
●
driver acquisition
●
driver preconfiguration
●
driver installation and deployment
