Constraints
The .CFG/.CFM file is encoded with all of the same constraints that the drivers
enforce. As a result, if the user of the HP Driver Configuration Editor attempts to set
features to an invalid combination, a warning dialog box appears, and the feature
change that triggered the warning is returned to its original state. For example, if the
Media Type option is set to Transparency when Print on Both Sides
(Duplex) is set to True, an Invalid Selection dialog box appears, as shown in
Figure 5.

4. Save the altered configuration file and place it back in the driver directory.
• If the file was opened from the driver directory, simply click File > Save.
• Otherwise, click File > Save As and browse to the driver directory to save the
file.
• To prevent the WHQL Digital Signature warning from appearing during
installation, save the configuration file as a .CFM file by clicking File > Save As
CFM. A .CFM file is created in the same directory as the original configuration
(.CFG) file.
Note If you create a .CFM file, it must be copied manually to the driver installation
directory. It is not deployed as a part of a normal driver installation. For information on
how to manually copy the file, see Copying a .CFM file to the driver directory.
Once the file is saved, the driver package is ready to be installed with the new
settings.
5. Install the driver and create a printer using any preferred method.
Driver pre-configuration using a modified .CFG file is compatible with any
installation method that relies on the published Microsoft procedures for installing a
printer. See the Microsoft Developer Network documentation for details about the
published methods. All commercially available installation methods, including driver
vending from Novell and Samba servers, adhere to these guidelines.
