UPD: universal print driver settings Script

Hello

I am writing a script that installs printers using the HP Universal print driver in our environment. It would be really great if I could use a script to set specific parameters so that users do not have to themselves.

Is there a way to define "Print on both sides" to be default via a script? What would you say "Device Type: color" rather than "Device Type: auto '?

Thanks in advance...

Perhaps study the features provided by the Administrator Resource Kit to print?

  • Reduced with the universal print driver in Windows 7 manual duplex function

    On March 13, 2013, I downloaded the last PCL 6 Universal Printer driver for my Laserjet CP1518NI printer.   Manual duplex printing is now a mess!  In Windows XP, duplexing manual was available for Microsoft documents, but for them, it worked: if I chose to print on both sides, a pop-up window seem to remember to press 'OK' on the printer when it was time to print the second side. I could close this window without affecting the driver himself things correctly configured: he printed the pages first, in reverse order, collected if necessary and rotation so that when this side is complete, all I had to do was take pages on the output tray in put them directly in the input tray and then press OK on the printer, and the other next printed pages, in good order and the correct orientation.

    Here's the worst: when you print a double-sided Word file, I now get a BOX of DIALOGUE MICROSOFT WORD asks me to press "OK" in the dialog box, not on the printer, when you are ready to start printing the second side.  With an open dialog, I can't work with other Word files to the end of the first side printing.

    Is then the settings: apparently, I need to change the settings manually (not what I planned "Manual" Duplex would!) to learn how to print the first side (even pages) in reverse, reverse order / rotation, then the second side (odd pages) in normal order do not hit?  Do I have to change the settings before printing the second side?

    If I don't make all the settings myself, it just prints odd pages in the wrong direction and DISORDER.  If I do all the settings myself, which is exactly the pilot done for me, other than preventing me from working on other documents, the document while current is printing?

    I'm especially disappointed because the old driver worked very well.  I just updated the driver because of what turned out to be another problem.  Sigh.

    In reading the manual. on page 35, it describes how to enable the feature if you have not already:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01070718.PDF

    According to the available information this process should not be performed by the driver. However, as I said above, almost all the settings you described I not know can be defined in MS Word. Back to history versions of the drivers, I see the same types of drivers that have been developed for Windows XP and the information I have shows that this function must not have changed.

    In addition, similarly, you should be able to allow printing of greys through the preferences of printer or the printer properties Advanced.

    I would like to know if this helps!

  • MF1522 Driver Suite and universal print driver

    The XP machine I'm working on that has two printers must be installed; Color LaserJet 3600n (connected network) and an all-in - one Laserjet MF1522 (USB connected).

    The first error I did installed the first 3600n. The second used for HP Universal print driver make. The 3600n installed perfectly without any problems. Then I tried to install the MF1522.

    The moment where I plug the universal print driver MF1522 intervenes and installs the printer of the MF1522 so when I try to install the driver suite, it is unable to detect the printer, since it already has drivers. So I uninstalled the two printers/drivers, deleted universal printer drivers according to the website of HPs. discount to zero. Check that the universal drivers do not exist and start installing the driver of MF1522 suite. I get to the point where it asks me to plug the printer; so I plug it and before the Setup program can find it, the driver universal printing (I checked wasn't there) appears out of nowhere and installs the printer.

    No matter what I do... the universal print driver comes always before the rest of the pilot is able to find the printer.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Please try this method for uninstalling the UPD. Then proceed to installing the drivers of 1522.

    Thank you very much.

    OK, Windows XP may not be as flexible in the control of what could make a user determined, but I'd suggest the following:

    Download and install the two drivers and the M551 Laserjet Enterprise 500 color printer series driver the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5.  After the printers are installed, you can rename and customize them.  I suggest you call the driver universal a "Black Printing" or something like.  Click on start, Control Panel, printers and faxes, right-click on HP PCL5 universal print, properties, General, rename the printer in a suit, a request, click the device tab settings, do scroll down to the print color Mode and Turn Off, and apply, click the general tab, the print options, chooese the appropriate default print settings (it may be desirable for this printer select EconoMode on the paper/quality tab) well.

    Even defined the parameters for the Laserjet 500 color M551 version and an appropriate name.

  • HP LaserJet 4100: Problem with the universal print driver

    Desktop: HP Envy 700-214

    OS: 10 64-bit Windows

    Printer: HP LaserJet 4100 (with a USB to parallel cable)

    I was able to properly use my LaserJet for Windows 8.1 through my Windows 10 crossing (which I upgraded to about 18 months ago).  Quite recently, I welcomed Windows Installer a upgrade, and at this time there, I lost my ability to print.   It has been on my default printer, but gave an error message when I tried to print.

    I tried to "Add a printer" and selected the HP 4100 connected to the LPT1 port.  It would not print a test page, and the printer does not like in the reception of data.

    I then tried to install the (PCL6 and Postscript) universal print driver with similar lack of results.

    I tried uninstallinDeg and reinstall the drivers, but once again no joy.  Incidentally, although I'm going to Device Manager > printing queues and remove the drivers, when I set up an application like Word and select the Menu printing, many copies of drivers rest yet.  When I go to remove them using the printui/s/T2, it is said that they are currently in use and cannot be deleted.

    Yet once again, I repeat - it is not a hardware problem because everything worked well before Windows upgrade.  I just need to find a way to reinstall a driver who will speak to my printer.  It of frustrating because I was able to do that before, but may not know what I am doing wrong.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello GaryLynn,

    You saw did a lot of things to try to solve this issue.

    However the USB to parallel isn't anHP officially supported connection type.

    in any case, what suggests I´d, is that you try this:

    • Unplug the hybrid cable that you use
    • Uninstall all copies of the printer and its duplicates.
    • Stop the print spooler by using the services on windows (type on cortana services.msc) locate print spooler and stop it
    • Go to run and coil type, look at the Printers folder and delete all the files that are there (if any)
    • Restart the spooler to print services.
    • Download and install this driver package
      http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?swItemId=FP-148007-1
    • Turn on your printer and connect the cable.

    After this exercise, check to see if windows 10 has managed to find the best driver to use your printer.
    If widows did not automatically find it, try the manual on add a Printer Wizard.

    If not reading as LPT1, check ports either USB00 ' # ' or a port DOT4, those who should be the ports to use.

    I hope this helps you get your printer going again.

    Thank you

  • How to know the encoding of the file PCL5 generated using the HP Universal print driver

    Hello

    I generated a PCL 5 file using the HP PCL5 universal printer driver.

    While I tried to open the file using Notepad ++, the file seems to be encoded.

    How will I know the encoding used in the PCL5? Sample file is attached.

    Thanks in advance.

    >... we would like to know the type of encoding used in the PCL file.

    >> ... How can get us? It uses the EBCDIC encoding?

    There is No text, encoding, as such.

    The text (which seems to be the content of the manual 'PCL5 Comparison Guide' page) has been converted (by your player application and the printer driver) in a raster (bitmap) image.

    The print file generated contains a few sequences initialization, then (as I said) the greater part of the file is an equivalent of PCL-a Windows raster image format (in this case, the selected compression method is TIFF).

    The analysis has been produced using the PRN file analysis tool in the application of the whole PCL , available via http://www.pclparaphernalia.eu

  • Universal printer driver (UPD) won't print to a file when there is no printer.

    When I am in WiFi or using a laptop on the spot, and I (1) select file/print from the drop-menu - print dialog box appears.  (2) I check the "HP Universal printing PS" driver is the name of the printer is displayed in the selection of the printer and the "Print to File" is checked.  When I have (3) left click on the 'OK' box in the lower right corner of the dialog box; (4) the 'HP Universal printing' box: preparation for printing (FILE NAME) / select the printer you want to use / recently used printers/search for a printer.

    IT N ' T A PRINTER!  I am printing to a file.  You cannot find beyond this stupid box of the printer. HP insists on selecting a printer that does not exist! and it does not create a print (.prn or .ps) file.

    If you try to print to a file, which does not use any software from HP. What you need is the Microsoft XPS Document Writer (it should also be in the records of your printer). Printing to a file has nothing to deal with real 'impression' in itself, but it has to do with the drafting of the document of unalterable way (which is why its is known as 'impression' of the file).

    This will be more of a problem with your operating system with the printer, because this ability doesn't not part of our software.

    I hope this information helps and have a great day!

  • Universal printer driver do not recognize all-in-one 4500 G510g in environment Windows XP 64

    Unfortunately, HP do not provide drivers for Windows XP 64 bit for all-in-one 4500 g.

    I tried to use the printer driver universal which is insured for the 64 Windows XP Home edition, but this driver also failed (connection USB or Ethernet connections). Maybe someone has used these UPD successfully?

    Hello

    The printer driver Univarsal recognize only PCL 5 or 6 printers (Laserjet especially), it is not intended for the series 4500 JO.

    In order to provide a work around, you can use some alternative PCL3 driver, however it will be applicable on the network only.

    Check the IP address of your printer (configuration > reports / network)

    Add a printer from the Control Panel, select manual configuration and create a new TCP/IP port with the IP address of the printer.

    Select the HP Deskjet 5550 printers list, and then try to print.

  • I have trouble getting my default printer driver settings to stay as my default.

    Is it possible to lock the current drivers as default without having to select a preset every time?  Also I have problems when printing from Adobe software, it seems to use a radio button this conversion "uses JPEG2000 maximum available resolution.  It has made my life miserable with print time 45 minutes.  Is there a way to disable this feature?

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes it is. Used by OS X printing system is called CUPS and through its page web, you can set default values for the driver.

    First step is to open the Terminal (located in Applications > utilities). Then, copy the following line of text and paste it into the Terminal and then press enter

    cupsctl Web interface = yes

    This will display the web page of CUPS.

    Next step is to open Safari and enter the following information as URL

    http://127.0.0.1:631 / printers

    This will show the printers you have installed on the Mac. Select the one you want to change the default settings.

    With the printer display mode, you will see two menus - Maintenance and Administration. Click on the Administration menu, and then select set default Options. Depending on the driver used, you will now see a new view with some headers in text, such as installed Options, generals, banners, and policies. Click general. This will display the current driver settings. Scroll down to locate the setting that you want to change, and then select the setting you want. Then scroll all the way down and click the set default Options. You will now need to enter your Admin user account and password. The web page now that the default options for this printer have been defined.

    Now, open a document and select this option to print and check that the default has been changed.

  • HP Universal print driver: printers use duplex for single page documents

    Here's our environment: Print Server Windows 2008 with many different printers HP HP, using UPD. Customers running Windows 7 x 64.

    We configure default duplexing for environmental issues. When a single document page is printed, the printer uses duplex; After the printer page, it brings back the paper to 'print' the empty side of the single page document!

    We lack something hidden in the configuration of the printer? Or isn't smart enough to single-side print when driver/printer duplex is active and only need to print?

    Best regards

    Change the driver on the print server has solved the problem. I discovered that the "smart duplex" was working when printing directly to the printer (IP). We use v5.2 PCL 6 (61.112.1.9321). Changing to v5.9 PCL 6 (61.170.1.18326), which has solved.

  • How to uninstall Windows 7 Home premium PCL6 universal print driver?

    In fact, I want to uninstall the driver and not just remove the printer and installed printers.

    The print management console is not available in Windows 7 Home premium.

    HP has a method to uninstall the driver?

    I was wrong.  The print server properties are always available.  When you select a printer, it adds an extra button on the top to access print server properties.  Drivers can be removed from there.
