Windows printer-driver configuration

The HP PCL 6 printer driver features bidirectional communication technology which, in environments

that support the printer driver, provides automatic discovery and printer-driver configuration for product

accessories at the time of installation.

Some accessories that are automatically discovered and configured include the duplexing unit, optional

paper trays, and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

Printer-driver autoconfiguration

NOTE:

The 64-bit operating systems do not support printer-driver autoconfiguration.

Automatic discovery and printer-driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the

following circumstances:

●

When a printer driver is installed by using Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC)

●

When using the

Update Now

feature for a printer driver that is already installed

However, as shown in the following table, printer-driver auto configuration and EAC are

not

available in

32-bit Windows operating systems over a direct connection when the printing-system software is

installed by using the Add Printer Wizard. Direct connection is a parallel or USB port connection.

Bidirectional communication

In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the product

during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the printer driver

accordingly.

Bidirectional communication is the capability of the product to respond to data inquiries from the

computer, such as what type of print media is available and what accessories are connected to the

product. Bidirectional communication depends on the network operating system and on the type of

connection that exists between the computer and the product. If the connection does not have this

capability, the product can only accept commands from the host and cannot respond to data inquiries

from the host computer.
