It provides network administrators with the capability to preconfigure printer drivers and other printing software and manage that software on client workstations remotely. With DMC, customized printer settings can be retained during driver updates, rather than be replaced with the default settings of the new driver. Command-line silent install This method cannot be customized and installs only the printing-system components that are included in the Typical Installation. Note 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: • Send the command directly to the installer. • Send the command using the SETUP.LST file located in the setup directory. • 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 specified in the defaults section of the SETUP.LST file. If you use setup /u / printer=4 for the installer, it operates in unattended mode and chooses the HP LaserJet 5500. 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: • /u signals the installer to use the specified port and printer given on the command line (or in this file), and to use all default selections. Installation then proceeds without prompting the user. • /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 • /printer=n is used to specify the default printer when doing 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 LaserJet 5500 series printer installation: Software Technical Reference Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP 157

Driver Management and Configuration Utility (Internal)
Driver Management and Configuration (DMC) is a software architecture and set of
tools that permits HP and third-party software to be customized and distributed
within managed corporate printing environments. It provides network
administrators with the capability to preconfigure printer drivers and other printing
software and manage that software on client workstations remotely. With DMC,
customized printer settings can be retained during driver updates, rather than be
replaced with the default settings of the new driver.
Command-line silent install
This method cannot be customized and installs only the printing-system
components that are included in the Typical Installation.
Note
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):
"<CD-ROM-ROOT>/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:
•
Send the command directly to the installer.
•
Send the command using the SETUP.LST file located in the setup
directory.
•
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
specified in the defaults section of the SETUP.LST file. If you use
setup /u /
printer=4
for the installer, it operates in unattended mode and chooses the
HP LaserJet 5500. 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:
•
/u
signals the installer to use the specified port and printer given on the
command line (or in this file), and to use all default selections. Installation then
proceeds without prompting the user.
•
/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
•
/printer=n
is used to specify the default printer when doing 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 LaserJet 5500 series printer installation:
