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. Using HP
Driver Preconfiguration, information technology (IT) administrators in corporate and enterprise
environments can preconfigure the printing and device defaults for HP print drivers before installing
the drivers in the network environment.
HP Driver Preconfiguration is most beneficial when configuring print drivers for multiple workstations
or print servers for print queues that share the same configuration. Two types of features can be
configured: device settings and printing-preferences settings. The driver is configured to match the
product hardware so that gaining access to all of the product accessories through the driver is
enabled correctly (for example, for duplexing units and additional trays). Most driver feature settings
can also be configured.
HP Preconfiguration configures the driver to match the accessories installed on the product, or to
match the settings that IT administrators make in the configuration (.CFG) file (for example, optional
trays, total amount of memory, job-storage settings, or mopier settings).
The preconfiguration process consists of three basic steps: driver acquisition, driver preconfiguration,
and driver installation and deployment. These steps can be accomplished in different ways,
depending on the tool that is being used to define the configuration.
The configuration process for driver preconfiguration is supported through three distinct tools. All
three are designed with the same basic user interface (UI) controls for interacting with the
configuration (.CFG) file, but are packaged differently, either to support established product
