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.

The preconfiguration process consists of three basic steps: ● driver acquisition ● driver preconfiguration ● driver installation and deployment 34 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW
