Install the DDU Copy the files to the administrative computer. If using the self-extracting .EXE file, just copy it to the administrative computer, then double click - it will expand the files into the proper directory structure. The DDU does not require an installation program. All of the files are contained in the "Driver Deployment Utility" directory. The DDU does not require any registry entries. Run the DDU 1. Create the printer-driver package to deploy by opening the DDU application. This can be done by double clicking HPDDU.EXE, which is found in the Driver Deployment Utility root directory. This utility packages the printer driver and the code needed to stage/install the printer driver into an .EXE file and a .CAB file. An informational .XML file is also created and can be used to identify the package selections. 2. Run the new printer-driver package (created in step 1) on the client computer. It can be copied to the client computer and run by double clicking, or it can be run from a server by pointing to it and double clicking. The package can also be run in a batch file. For a direct connect package, the DDU will silently copy the printer-driver files into the Windows driver store and exit. Prior to exiting, an optional dialog can be shown to prompt the user to connect their product after the files are copied. Upon completion of the package executable, when the user connects the product to the computer, the operating system will install the product using Plug and Play software. NOTE: If the product is never connected to the computer, the product will not be installed. For a network package, the DDU will silently copy the printer-driver files into the Windows driver store, and then install the product using the network information entered by the administrator. 270 Chapter 6 Engineering details ENWW
