Software description deployment and installation of the driver entirely up to the user. The following tools support driver preconfiguration: ● HP Driver Configuration Editor. The HP Driver Configuration Editor is a small standalone Windows software program that the administrator can use to open the .CFG file that is associated with a particular driver and make modifications that are applied when that driver is installed on the target computer. It is intended for use in environments that have an established process for deploying drivers. This is the preconfiguration tool of choice to support any Novell or HP Print Server Appliance (PSA) Point and Print environments. It is used in the way that any ordinary Windows software program is used. The HP Driver Configuration Editor is available at the following Web site: www.hp.com/go/ hpdpc_sw ● The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin. HP Web Jetadmin provides a queuecreation program that can be used to create printer queues on any Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 or workstation. The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin adds a number of screens to the existing queue-creation workflow from which the drivers that are being installed for the queues can be customized as part of the process. The plug-in is limited to Internet Explorer browsers. Netscape Navigator is not supported. The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin is available at the following Web site: www.hp.com/sbso/tpm/web_jetadminplugin.html ● HP Customization Utility/Silent Installer. The Customization Utility features an install-time mode of HP Driver Preconfiguration. IT administrators can use the utility to preconfigure the drivers for a printing-system software driver installation that uses the silent installer. Detailed information about gaining access to and installing these tools can be found in the HP Driver Preconfiguration Support Guide, which is available on the printing-system software CD. For more information, see the HP Driver Preconfiguration Support Guide at the following Web site: www.hp.com/go/hpdpc_sw Lockable features The following driver features can be locked to prevent end-users from changing settings: ● Print on Both Sides (duplex).

Generally, the feature is unavailable in the driver UI after it has been installed. Continuous export The term "continuous export" refers to the ability of the driver to copy the latest driver settings back to the working copy of the preconfiguration file. Using this feature, the exported values can be transferred when a compatible version of the driver is used to upgrade the print driver. For instance, if orientation is set to Landscape in a driver originally installed in Windows 2000, then the orientation setting 32 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW
