differently, either to support established product installation workflows or to leave the deployment and installation of the driver entirely up to the user. The following tools support driver preconfiguration:

HP Driver Configuration Utility. The HP Driver Configuration Utility is a small, standalone, Windows-software program that the administrator can use to open the .CFG file that is associated with a particular driver and make modifications that are applied when that driver is installed on the target computer. It is intended for use in environments that have an established process for deploying drivers. This is the preconfiguration tool of choice to support any Novell or HP Print Server Appliance (PSA) and Point and Print environments. It is used in the way that any ordinary Windows software program is used.

The HP Driver Configuration Utility is available at the following Web site: www.hp.com/go/dcu

HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin. The HP Web Jetadmin provides a queue- creation program that can be used to create printer queues on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008. The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin adds a number of screens to the existing queue-creation workflow from which the drivers that are being installed for the queues can be customized as part of the process. The plug-in is limited to Internet Explorer browsers. Netscape Navigator is not supported.

HP Web Jetadmin v10.0 is supported by the following:

Windows XP (Professional only)

Windows Server 2003 (R2 only)

Windows Server 2008

Windows Vista (Business and Enterprise Editions)

The HP Web Jetadmin print management features are supported by the following:

Windows XP Professional (with Service Pack 2 or higher)

Windows Server 2003

HP Driver Deployment Utility. The HP Driver Deployment Utility (HP DDU) was created to simplify the deployment of print drivers onto a client computer. It is a simple utility that packages the print-driver files, and the code needed to deploy them, into two files: an .EXE file and a .CAB file. These files are run on the client computer to copy the print-driver files to the Windows driver store and, for network packages, to install the product. This utility is supported on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista operating systems.

To gain access to the HP DDU, insert the software CD into the CD-ROM drive, and then navigate to the Driver Deployment Utility folder.

For more information about the HP DDU, refer to HP Driver Deployment Utility on page 44
