Customization Utility for Windows

Use the Customization Utility button to create your own customized installation of printing-system components. To start the utility, click Customization Utility on the main menu of the HP LaserJet software CD-ROM browser. The following are available options for creating a customized installation.

Create Customized Installer. Using this option, you can create either an interactive or silent (unattended) installer that has been customized by any of the following selections:

Language

Operating System

Printer Model

Components

Copy Entire Printing System installer. Using this option, you can copy the HP Color LaserJet 3500 printing-system installer to a selected form of high-capacity media, such as a network drive. The customization utility prompts these choices:

Language

Operating System

Destination Path

Silent installer

You can use the HP Color LaserJet 3500 printing-system software to create a silent installer that runs the installation program without user interaction. This installation method is useful when you want to use the default selections that the installer provides or when you want to run the installation without being prompted. You also have the option of creating a custom disk image that contains specific drivers and utilities, which allows you to run the installer without further interaction.

You can perform the silent installation in two ways:

customized silent installer

command-line silent installer

Customized silent installer

Use this option to select the printing-system components to include in the silent installation. You can select the operating system, language, printer models, drivers, utilities, and documentation to install.

HP preconfiguration

HP preconfiguration is a software architecture and set of tools that you can use to customize HP and third-party software and distribute the software within managed corporate printing environments. Network administrators can use HP preconfiguration to preconfigure printer drivers and other printing software, and to manage that software on client workstations remotely. With HP preconfiguration, you can retain customized printer settings during driver updates, rather than replace those settings with the default settings of the new driver.

Command-line silent install

 

This method cannot be customized. It installs only the printing-system components that are included in the Typical

 

Installation.

Values that follow an equal sign ( = ) in a command line must not contain intervening spaces.
