4 Pre-configure the default settings and
print policy for HP UPD
This chapter outlines several options for configuring the default behavior of the HP UPD. The options
vary based on the installation method selected. Review each option to determine which method is
right for your environment. You can pre-configure the HP UPD default settings before, during, or after
driver installation.
The table at the end of this chapter,
Overview of configurable functions and Pre-configuration utilities
on page 21, lists the available settings for each pre-configuration utility and installation method. This
chapter provides some representative examples, but is not a comprehensive list of available settings.
The information in this chapter will help you select an option that best meets your needs.
