Procedure
In order to use the HP Driver Configuration Editor, the driver(s) to be configured must be in
their standard .INF-file driver packages that are obtained from HP (either from the HP Web
site or from the product in-box CD-ROM). The driver(s) must be stored in a location for
which the user of the tool has write-access. The driver must also support driver pre-
configuration. If the tool is used to browse to a driver directory and there is no .CFG or
.CFM file, the driver cannot be preconfigured.
1. Run HPBCFGAP.EXE from the download directory
To run the HP Driver Configuration Editor, double-click HPBCFGAP.EXE.
2. The Information dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Information dialog box
This dialog box warns users that, depending on how the driver is installed, a
Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) Digital Signature Warning will appear.
Because the .CFG file that is shipped with the drivers is part of the .INF-file package
(and referenced in the .INF file as a dependent file of the driver), modifying this file
invalidates the digital signature that Microsoft provides when the driver is WHQL-
certified.
Note To prevent the WHQL Digital Signature warning from appearing during driver
installation, save the driver configuration file as a Modified Config File (.CFM) and
store it with the driver files. For more information on .CFM files, see step 4.
Figure 2 shows the Microsoft warning dialog that appears at install time.
