Installation Silent installation can be performed in one of two ways: q customized silent installer q command-line silent installer Customized silent installer Use the customized silent installer to select the printing-system components to include in the silent installation. You can select the operating system, language, printer models, drivers, utilities, and documentation to install. Command-line silent install Command-line silent installation cannot be customized. It installs only the printing-system components that are included in the Typical Installation. Values that follow equal signs ( = ) in a command line must not contain intervening spaces. Method 1: Command line Type the following at the command line (do not type the beginning and ending quotation marks): "/SETUP/SETUP.EXE /U /PORT=XXXX /PRINTER=N /PD=N" Method 2: SETUP.LST Use the SETUP.LST file to specify command-line arguments to the installer for an unattended installation. You can send command-line arguments in one of the following ways: q Send the command directly to the installer. q Send the command using the SETUP.LST file that is located in the setup directory. q Use a combination of the two methods. For example, this file contains two options: /port and /printer. The installer operates as normal because the /u option has not been specified. If you use setup /u for the installer, it operates in unattended mode and uses the two values that are specified in the defaults section of the SETUP.LST file. If you use setup /u /printer=4 for the HP Color LaserJet 5500 installer, for example, it operates in unattended mode and selects the HP LaserJet 5500hdn. The options specified on the command line override the options specified in the SETUP.LST file. The options available can also include the /u option. Using this option key makes the installer always operate as unattended. The following descriptions explain the available options: q /u signals the installer to use the specified port and printer that are identified in the command line (or in this file), and to use all default selections. Installation then proceeds without prompting the user. q /port=xxxx is used to specify the default port when performing an unattended installation. The value specified by xxxx should be a valid port and should contain no spaces (for example, LPT1). q /printer=n is used to specify the default printer when performing an unattended installation. The value specified by n is an integer that references the list of available printers. For example, the following printers are available for the HP Color LaserJet 5500 series printer installation: • 0 = HP LaserJet 5500 printer • 1 = HP LaserJet 5500dn printer • 2 = HP LaserJet 5500dtn printer • 3 = HP LaserJet 5500 printer HP Driver Preconfiguration Support Guide 29
