Windows printing-system software

Driver configuration for Windows
The HP print drivers feature bidirectional communication technology which, in supported environments,
provide automatic discovery and driver configuration for product accessories at the time of installation.
Some accessories that are automatically discovered and configured include the duplexing unit, optional
paper trays, printer hard disk, and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

Driver autoconfiguration
Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the
following circumstances:
●

When a print driver is installed by using the installer

●

When using the Update Now feature for a driver that is already installed

However, as shown in the following table, driver autoconfiguration and Update Now are not available
in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
operating systems over a direct connection when the product is installed by using the Add Printer
Wizard.
Table 2-2 Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication1

Connection type

Add Printer Wizard install

Common installer

Network

Yes

Direct connection

Yes

The table applies to Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

Bidirectional communication
In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the product
during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the driver accordingly.
Bidirectional communication is the capability of the product to respond to data inquiries from the
computer and report information back, such as what type of print paper is available or what
accessories are connected to the product. Bidirectional communication depends on the network
operating system and on the type of connection that exists between the computer and the product. If the
connection does not have this capability (that is, if it has no bidirectional mode), it can only accept
commands from the host and cannot report information back to the host computer.

Enterprise AutoConfiguration
Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC) uses bidirectional communication to provide autoconfiguration
functionality for installation of the print driver over a network, whether you use the installer on the
printing-system software CD or the Add Printer Wizard to install the driver. Driver installation that
includes EAC is configured with the same settings as the physical configuration of the product.
Configuration occurs without user interaction.

Chapter 2 Windows software description

ENWW

If bidirectional-communication software has been installed previously, EAC is not activated, and the
pre-existing bidirectional-communication software is used to configure the print driver.
If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectionalcommunication software that allows it to communicate with the product and automatically match the
print driver with the actual product configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the driver or
whenever the Update Now feature is used.
If the product configuration changes after installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the
new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication by using the Update Now
feature. For more information, see Update Now on page 20.
The following tables show the availability of EAC for various operating systems and network
environments that support bidirectional communication.

Update Now
If you have modified the configuration of the HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175 product since
installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that
support bidirectional communication. Use the Update Now feature to automatically reflect the new
configuration in the driver.
For example, if the product is installed and an optional paper-handling accessory is added later, use
the Update Now feature to query the product and update the settings to match the new product
configuration.
The feature automatically updates the registry and changes the configuration information that appears
on the Device Settings tab.
NOTE: Depending on which settings were updated, the Update Now feature might change the
configuration information that displays on the print-driver tabs, instead of (or in addition to) changing
the information on the Device Settings tab.
NOTE: The Update Now feature is not supported in environments where shared Windows XP clients
are connected to Windows XP hosts.
To activate the Update Now feature, follow these steps:
1.

In Windows Vista and Windows 7, click the Start button, click the Control Panel item, click the
Hardware and Sound item, and then click the Printers item.
In Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008, click the Start button, click

HP Driver Configuration
HP Driver Configuration is a software architecture and set of tools that permits HP printing-system
software to be customized and distributed in managed corporate printing environments. Using
HP Driver Configuration, information technology (IT) administrators in corporate and enterprise
environments can preconfigure the printing and device defaults for HP printer drivers before installing
the drivers in the network environment.
HP Driver Configuration is most beneficial when configuring print drivers for multiple workstations or
print servers for print queues that share the same configuration. Two types of features can be
configured:
●

Product settings

●

Printing-preferences settings

The driver is configured to match the product hardware so that access to all of the product accessories
through the driver is enabled correctly (for example, for duplexing units and additional input trays).
Most driver-feature settings can also be configured.
HP Driver Configuration configures the driver to match the accessories that are installed on the product,
or to match the settings that IT administrators make in the configuration (.CFG) file (for example,
optional trays, total amount of memory, job-storage settings, or mopier settings).
The configuration process consists of three basic steps:
●

Driver acquisition

●

Driver configuration

●

Driver installation and deployment

These steps can be accomplished in different ways, depending on the tool that is being used to define
the configuration.
The driver configuration process is supported through three distinct tools. All three are designed with
the same basic user-interface (UI) controls for interacting with the .CFG file, but are packaged

ENWW

Driver configuration for Windows

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. HP Web Jetadmin provides a queuecreation 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 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 62
For detailed information about gaining access to and installing these tools, see the HP Driver
Configuration Support Guide at the following Web site and click on the Manuals link.
www.hp.com/go/dcu

Chapter 2 Windows software description

ENWW

Continuous export
The term "continuous export" refers to the ability of the print driver to copy the latest print-driver settings
back to the working copy of the preconfiguration file. Using this feature, the exported values can be
transferred when a compatible version of the print driver is used to upgrade the print driver. For
instance, if the orientation is set to Landscape for a driver originally installed in Windows XP, then the
orientation setting automatically remains Landscape when the operating system is upgraded to
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008. The continuous export
feature functions transparently from the user's perspective and works only between print drivers of

Description

HP Device Toolbox

HP Device Toolbox is a Web-browser-based utility that provides an interface to the
product that you can use to change product settings, including color job log settings.
No special software needs to be installed or configured. It allows you to view a log
of color printing use. The HP Device Toolbox is designed for one-to-one product
configuration monitoring and management.

HP Web Jetadmin

HP Web Jetadmin provides an interface to the product through a Web browser on
single network-administration servers. Use HP Web Jetadmin to manage
HP Jetdirect-connected products within an intranet.
For more information, see the following Web site:
www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin

Usage page

The usage page shows color and monochrome print job statistics for a product.

To print a usage page for a network-connected product from the control panel, complete the following

Use the arrow buttons to scroll to the Reports menu, and then press the OK button.

Use the arrow buttons to scroll to the Usage Page item, and then press the OK button.

button to get to the main screen, if needed.

PANTONE color profiles
Most software programs that support the use of PANTONE colors for graphic objects include the
PANTONE name in the postscript output along with the color values that are assigned to the object.
Select a software program that uses a PANTONE palette in a CMYK workspace, and print with the HP
PS Universal Print Driver in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows
Vista, or Windows 7.
When SWOP (Specifications Web Offset Printing) is selected as the CMYK Color setting, these
CMYK values provide a good reproduction of the PANTONE 4C spot-color simulations.
Vector graphics, such as company logos that are created in PANTONE Application Palettes, can be
imported into Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or other Microsoft Office software programs. The color
program must create an encapsulated postscript (.eps) file of the image that will be imported. Use the
Insert file function to import the file into the Office document.

Chapter 2 Windows software description

ENWW

NOTE: Cutting and pasting from the clipboard does not work. These tasks do not preserve the
PANTONE name or the CMYK palette value.

The HP Scan software presents a series of dialog boxes that depend on the selections made in the HP
Scan software dialog boxes.
Every time the HP Scan software is used, an HPPSCAN6.LOG file is generated in the current user's
temporary directory. The HPPSCAN6.LOG file appends after every scan, and develops a log of
operations that helps troubleshoot scanning problems. To gain access to the log file, follow these steps:
1.

Click the Start button, and then click the Run... item.

Type %TEMP% in the Open: field, and then click the OK button.

Double-click the hppscan6.log file in the window that opens.

Selecting the third-party destination option saves the scanned image in a file of the specified file type.
The HP Scan software then starts the specified software program by appending the filename after the
software filename. Because the HP Scan software does not support automatic discovery of software
programs, you must specify the correct software program and specify a file type that your program
supports.

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 printer-driver files, and the code needed to
deploy them, into 2 files: an .EXE file and a .CAB file. These files are run on the client computer to copy
the printer-driver files to the Windows driver store, and for network packages, to install the product.
The HP DDU works with print drivers that can be installed by an .INF file. It is designed to work with
print drivers that have their files contained in one directory structure. Because this utility is generic, it
does not detect how specific print drivers are packaged. It packages all files in the directory (and
subdirectories) where the print driver .INF file is found. The print driver must be expanded so that the
HP DDU can process the .INF file. If you download an .EXE file with the print-driver files, you need to
run it first to unpack all of the files. Then, run the HP DDU to package it for deployment on the client
system.
HP DDU can be used to pre-configure a print driver for deployment. When the package is run on the
client computer, the new configuration file is used to configure the print driver after it is installed. This
does not break WHQL certification.
If the print driver was WHQL certified, and the print-driver files are organized within one directory
structure, then HP DDU will not break WHQL certification. HP DDU packages all of the files found in the
printer-driver directory structure without modifying them. If printer-driver pre-configuration is done, the
new configuration file is used to configure the print driver after it is installed. This does not break
WHQL certification.
NOTE: If you need the ability to configure unique settings for printer-driver deployment, the Universal
Print Driver installer may be a better choice as an install tool. The Universal Print Driver installer allows
the configuration of settings from the command line.
The HP DDU can be used with the Universal Print Driver installer, but the Universal Print Driver
command line will not be accessible. The HP DDU is designed to package and stage/install print
drivers. Print-driver specific features, like those found in the Universal Print Driver installer, are specific
to the Universal Print Driver installer and not supported by the HP DDU.
The HP DDU installer could be used with the Universal Print Drivers to deploy a direct connect driver in
traditional mode or a network install in traditional mode.
NOTE: Administrative rights are necessary on the client system where the install is being performed.
For a direct connect, administrative rights are only required to run the .EXE package. The user can then
connect the product without administrative rights. For a network connection, the .EXE package will copy
files to the driver store, create the port, install the print driver and create the printer object.

Install and run the HP DDU
Install the HP 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.
DDU does not require an installation program. All of the files are contained in the “Driver Deployment
Utility” directory. DDU does not require any registry entries.
Run the HP DDU
1.

Create the printer-driver package to deploy by opening the HP 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 print driver and the code needed to stage/install the print 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.

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 HP 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 HP 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.
Use the HP DDU
The HP DDU user interface is divided into the following sections:

ENWW

●

Package Source describes the package type and printer-driver location that you want to create.

●

Package Target identifies the name and location of the installation package.

●

Create Package initiates the package creation process.

HP Driver Deployment Utility

Figure 2-35 Package Source

Driver Directory — Use the Select Driver button to enter the directory where the print driver
resides by browsing or typing the path. You should only have one printer-driver package in this
directory because this utility will package all the files found in this directory (and sub directories) into
the executable file. If you have downloaded a compressed printer-driver package, you must expand it
before using this utility.
In some cases, you may have multiple print-driver .INF files in the directory (sometimes one is for color
and another for monochrome products). In this case, an additional dialog will allow you to select which
printer driver to package.
You will also get a warning if the directory is large. This is to help prevent packaging more than one
print driver. You can choose to continue or not at this point.
Once the printer-driver directory is selected, and one print driver has been found, the printer-driver
information is displayed below the directory selection box.

Chapter 2 Windows software description

ENWW

For print drivers that support preconfiguration, the check box below will be enabled. Selecting this will
run a configuration dialog after clicking the Create Package.
Install Type — For direct connections, use the Silently preload the driver option. A future Plug
and Play event will be necessary to install the print driver, but all the files will be installed in the
Windows driver store by this package for future use.
By default the executable file runs silently. If you would like to prompt the end user to connect the
product at the end of the install, select the Show a prompt to connect the printer checkbox.
For products using a network connection, select the Silently create the network port and install
driver option. The Network Settings button will become enabled, and you should click on it to
enter the required network settings.
NOTE: If you do not select the print driver first, an error dialog box appears. You must select the print
driver first so that the product name can be derived from the printer-driver name.

●

Printer Name: This is the product name that will appear in the printers’ folder. If the name
already exists, a number will be appended to make it unique.

●

Set this printer as default:
◦

Yes - will make this product the default when printing from other applications.

◦

No - will retain the current default, unless this is the only product installed.

●

Share this printer: Yes - will allow others to use this product.

●

Share Name: Share name for the product. Only enabled if ‘Share this printer’ is Yes. If the
name already exists, a number will be appended to make it unique.

To exit the Network Settings dialog without saving, use the Windows close button in the upper corner.
Package Target
Use the Save as button to enter the name and location for the output package by browsing or typing it
in. The utility will create the package in the temp directory and then move it to the final location.

be disabled until you have entered the required information. After you click the button, the Cancel
button and Progress bar will be enabled.
To stop the package creation, click the Cancel button.
The executable file runs silently, unless a user prompt is requested for a direct-connect product. If an
error is encountered during execution, an error dialog will appear. To suppress the error dialog, select
the Suppress all end user error messages check box.
If you selected the Pre-configure this driver check box, the print driver configuration dialog will
open when you click the Create Package button. Once you have configured the print driver, select
OK to save the new configuration settings and continue creating the package. Clicking Cancel will
cancel the entire package creation process.

HP DDU Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the HP DDU to deploy a direct connect driver with preconfiguration?
If you load multiple PDLs for one product, the operating system will determine which one satisfies the
Plug and Play event. The operating system will create one printer object for that PDL.
1.

Run HPDDU.EXE to start the package creation.

From Package Source section:

Select the print driver to package by browsing to the .INF file in the directory.

Select the Pre-configuration checkbox. This checkbox is enabled only for print drivers that
support preconfiguration.

Select the Silently preload the driver install type.

Select the Show a prompt to connect the printer check box if you want to prompt the
user after the files are copied.

From Package Target section:
Select the output name and location. Three files will be written here: an .EXE file, a .CAB file, and
an .XML file with information about the package.

ENWW

HP Driver Deployment Utility

From Create Package section:
a.

If you want to suppress any error messages, select the Suppress all end user error
messages check box.

Click the Create Package button

Run the new .EXE file from the client computer. You must have administrator rights to run the .EXE
file because it will be copying files into the Windows driver store. Now the printer-driver files are
on the system, and any user can connect the product to trigger the Plug and Play event.
NOTE: The printer object is not created until the product is connected.

NOTE: If you deploy multiple direct connect print drivers, with preconfiguration, and they all use a
pre-config file with the same name, the first one connected will be the only one configured properly.
This might happen if you deploy the PCL6 and PCL5 print drivers for the same product. The reason is
that the config file is copied to the \3 directory awaiting the product being connected. Each
deployment will just copy over the same config file since they all use the same name. Once the product
is connected, this config file gets consumed and deleted. Future Plug and Play events will not have the
config file available.
How do I use the HP DDU to deploy a network product with preconfiguration?
NOTE: Before running the HP DDU, you must download the driver you want to package, expand the
driver, and place the driver in its own directory on the computer where the HP DDU will run.
1.

Run HPDDU.EXE to create the package.

From Package Source section:

Select the print driver to package by browsing to the .INF file in the directory.

Select the Pre-configuration checkbox. This checkbox is enabled only for print drivers that
support preconfiguration.

Select the Silently create network port and install driver install type.

Click the Network Settings button to enter the network settings.

From Network Settings dialog:
a.

From the Required Settings section, enter at least one way of identifying the product (IP
address, Hardware address, or Hostname).

Make any changes to the Additional Settings section (port name, product name, default
printer, sharing and share name). You can leave the default settings if you don’t need to
make changes.

From Package Target section:
Select the output name and location. Three files will be written here: an .EXE file, a .CAB file and
an .XML file with information about the package.

Chapter 2 Windows software description

ENWW

From Create Package section:
a.

If you want to suppress any error messages, select the Suppress all end user error
messages checkbox.

Click the Create Package button.

The configuration dialog will open and allow you to set configuration details for this print
driver. After accepting the configuration changes, the package will be created.

Run the new .EXE file from the client computer. You must have administrator rights to run the .EXE
file because it will be copying files into the Windows driver store. A port and printer object will be
created with the information provided above.

Common Problems
I get a warning when I select the print driver.
If there are too many files in the driver directory, or the directory is really large, a warning appears so
that the user doesn’t accidentally package up something they didn’t intend to (like the root directory).
Some print drivers are really large, and you can choose to ignore this warning and continue.
To minimize package size, each print driver should be in it’s own directory. This is usually the default
behavior when you expand a print driver.
I get an error when I try to open the “Network Settings” dialog.
You need to first select a print driver before opening the “Network Settings” dialog. This populates the
product name field based on the printer-driver name.
The Create Package button is not enabled.
This button will not be enabled until you have:
1.

Selected the print driver.

If network connect – filled out one of the required network settings.

Selected the Save as name and directory.

How do I exit the HP DDU?
Use the Windows close button in the upper corner.
The Network Settings dialog keeps displaying an error, and I just want to close the
program.
If you do not want to save settings, or change your mind and don’t want a network install, you need to
close the network settings dialog with the Windows close button in the upper corner. Using the OK
button causes the HP DDU to try to validate the settings, and that is what is causing an error.
What if the user connects the printer before the HP DDU package is run?
If the user connects the product, but then cancels the Plug and Play event before it finishes, this creates
an incomplete Plug and Play event. After copying the printer-driver files to the Windows driver store,
the HP DDU code will cleanup incomplete Plug and Play events for products supported by this print

HP Driver Deployment Utility

driver. Then it will refresh the bus, causing the operating system to Plug and Play the product (installing
the print driver and creating the printer object.)
How do I uninstall HP DDU?
Delete all the files in the root HP DDU directory.
NOTE: No registry changes have been made with this utility.

Point-and-Print installation for Windows
Use the following information to install a printer driver by using the Microsoft Point-and-Print feature
when you do not connect directly to the product on the network.

Chapter 3 Install Windows printing-system components

ENWW

Point-and-Print is a Microsoft term that describes a two-step printer driver installation process. The first
step is to install a shared printer driver on a network print server. The second step is to "point" to the
print server from a network client so that the client can use the printer driver.
This section outlines the procedures for installing printer drivers by using Point-and-Print. If these
procedures are not successful, contact Microsoft. HP provides printer drivers that are compatible with
the Point-and-Print feature, but this is a function of the Windows operating systems, not of HP printer
drivers.
Administrator privileges are necessary to install the printer driver.
In a homogenous operating system environment (one in which all of the clients and servers are running
in the same operating system), the same printer driver version that is vended from the server to the
clients in a Point-and-Print environment also runs and controls the print queue configuration on the
server. However, in a mixed operating system environment (one in which servers and clients might run
on different operating systems), conflicts can occur when client computers run a version of the printer
driver that is different from the one on the print server.
In an effort to increase operating system stability, Microsoft determined that, starting with Windows
2000 and continuing with all future operating systems, printer drivers would run as user-mode
processes. User-mode drivers run in a protected part of the operating system, as do all of the normal
end-user processes and software programs. A user-mode printer driver that functions incorrectly can
terminate (or “crash”) only the process in which it is running—not the whole operating system. Because
access to critical system resources is restricted, overall operating system stability is increased.

HP PCL 6 printer driver and HP PS
Universal Print Driver for Windows

Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the PCL 6 printer driver for supported Windows operating
systems.
You can control print jobs from the product control panel, the software program print dialog box, or the
printer driver.
Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, you can select the
paper input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take
precedence over printer-driver settings. Printer-driver settings, in turn, override product control-panel
settings.

Access printer drivers
Depending on the operating system on which you are installing the printer drivers, you can gain access
to the printer drivers and different print-driver interfaces in several ways.
To gain access to the printer driver settings from within most software programs, follow these steps:
1.

Click the File menu.

Click the Print item.

Click the Properties button.

The appearance and names of the driver tabs can vary, depending on the operating system. These
driver settings apply only while that software program is open.
You can control the drivers directly from the Printers folder. Here you have access to two sets of driver
tabs: the Printing Preferences tabs and the Properties tabs. The settings that you make on the
Printing Preferences driver tabs control the driver default settings for each user profile. Installable
options can be configured in Properties driver tabs.

Printing Preferences driver tabs
The Printing Preferences driver tabs change the default settings that are used across all software
programs. To gain access to these tabs, follow these steps:
1.

Right-click the product icon.

Click the Printing Preferences item.

The following Printing Preferences print-driver tabs are available:

Help system
The HP PCL 6 printer driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing and
configuration options.

“What's this?” Help
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7
support What's this? Help. You can gain access to What's this? Help messages in any of the
following ways:
●

Right-click a feature or control. A pop-up Help window appears.

●

Click the ? button in the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X, to change the cursor to an
arrow with a question mark. When you use this special cursor to select a control, the pop-up Help
window for that feature appears.

●

Click a feature or control, and then press the F1 key. The Help window for the currently selected
control appears.

Incompatible print settings messages
Incompatible print settings (constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response to
specific print-driver selections. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible
given the product capabilities or the current settings of other controls.
NOTE: Constraint messages are limited, and the underlying software architecture might accept some
settings that are illogical or impossible for the product to perform. Sending a job with incompatible
settings can lead to unexpected results. If print jobs do not print as expected, check the product
documentation for the product capabilities.
In supported Windows operating environments, some technically invalid print-driver configurations
result in warning messages. For example, duplexing is not possible when printing an envelope. The
following figure shows an incompatible print settings warning.

If you want to keep the conflicting setting, click the Keep this setting, and I will change it later
option, and then click the OK button.

Advanced tab features
NOTE: The Advanced tab is located on the Printing Preferences tab set. For information about
how to access these tabs, see Printing Preferences driver tabs on page 112,
Use the Advanced tab to change the layout of printed pages. Use this tab to configure special
controls that are not commonly used, as well as to control features such as collating and font
management in the driver (although most current software programs support these features in the print
dialog box or through the page settings in the software program). The following figure shows the
Advanced tab.

Graphic
The Graphic setting contains the following controls:
●

Image Color Management settings

●

True Type Font settings

Image Color Management
This control lists the available Image Color Management (ICM) options used for printing color graphics.
ICM, a set of calculations for color matching, makes it possible for programs to adjust colors before
printing so that the color of images on the screen more closely match the color of those images when
they are printed.
NOTE: The ICM Method is typically set to ICM Disabled.

True Type Font
Use the Substitute with Device Font option (the default setting) to print documents that contain
TrueType fonts by using equivalent printer fonts. This permits faster printing; however, you might lose
special characters that the equivalent printer font does not support. Select the Download as
Softfont option to download TrueType fonts for printing instead of using printer fonts.

Document Options
The Document Options setting contains the following controls:
●

Advanced Printing Features

●

Printer Features

●

Layout Options

Advanced Printing Features
When the Advanced Printing Features setting is Enabled, metafile spooling is turned on and
Finishing tab options such as Page Order, Booklet Layout, and Pages per Sheet are
available, depending on the product.
Enhanced metafile spooling is used to greatly reduce the amount of time that elapses between a request
to print (initiated by a software program) and the return of control to the software program by the
operating system.
For normal printing, leave the Advanced Printing Features setting at the default (Enabled). If
compatibility problems occur, you can disable the feature. However, some advanced printing features
might still appear in the printer driver, even though they have been disabled. If you select an advanced
printing feature in the printer driver that has been disabled on the Advanced tab, the feature is
automatically re-enabled.

118

Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 printer driver and HP PS Universal Print Driver for Windows

ENWW

Printer Features
The Printer Features setting contains the following controls:
●

Print All Text as Black
The feature is Disabled by default. When Enabled is selected, the driver prints all text as black
regardless of the original document text color. Color text is printed as black, except for white text,
which remains white. (White text is a reliable method of printing reverse typeface against a dark
background.) This setting does not affect graphic images on the page, nor does it affect any text
that is part of a graphic.

●

Send True Type as Bitmap
Send True Type as Bitmap provides an alternative for software programs that have trouble
using TrueType fonts for special graphic aspects such as shading, rotation, or slanting. The setting
is Disabled (off) by default. The TrueType fonts are converted to bitmap soft fonts before
downloading. The Enabled setting causes the driver to send TrueType fonts to the product as
outlines, which retains the standard format (outline) of the fonts.

●

Raster Compression
Use the Raster Compression feature to select the graphics-compression method:

●

◦

Automatic. The software determines the best compression method to use.

◦

Best Quality. This option forces the software to use a lossless compression method.
(Lossless means that no data is lost during compression.)

◦

Maximum Compression. Where applicable, this option requires the software to always
use a lossy compression method (some data is lost).

Print Data Optimization
When selected, this feature allows the print job to use the host memory to ensure quick and highquality printing. The print speed increases without any print quality degradation.
When this option is selected, you must use one of the following settings:
◦

Auto (the default setting)

◦

Optimize for Raster

◦

Optimize for Text and Vector

Layout Options
The Layout Options setting contains the Page Order setting.
Page Order specifies the order in which the pages of your document are printed. Front to Back
prints the document so that page 1 prints first. Back to Front prints the document so that page 1
prints last.

Special pages

Paper sizes
The Paper sizes setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported paper sizes.
When you move the mouse over the dimensions label, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a
gloved hand. Click the dimensions label to toggle between English and metric units.
Because paper-size settings in most software programs override driver settings, it is generally best to
use the driver to set paper size only when you are printing from software programs that do not include
a paper-size setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not
require different paper sizes.
NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different paper sizes
within a single document.
When you change the print-driver setting to a paper size that is not currently loaded in the product, a
control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the paper size or select another tray.
When the Settings under the Special Pages section have been changed, the Paper sizes, Paper
source, and Paper type menus change also, offering a variety of options. For more information, see
Special pages on page 133.

Custom Paper Size
The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click Custom… on the Paper/Quality
tab. The following figure shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog box.
NOTE: The HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175 product supports custom paper sizes up to 14
inches in length. To use this paper size, set the custom paper size to match the custom paper size that
you are using, up to 14 inches in length.
Name
Use the Name text box to type a new name for a custom paper size. When you change the name to
something other than Custom, the Save and OK buttons become active.

ENWW

Paper/Quality tab features

129

The name that appears in the Name text box depends on the following conditions:
●

If a saved custom paper size has been selected from the drop-down menu on the Paper/Quality
tab, then the Name text box shows the name of the selected custom paper size.

●

If a standard paper size has been selected on the Paper/Quality tab, then the Name text box
shows the default name of Custom .

●

If a new name has been typed into the Name text box for the purpose of saving a new size or
renaming an existing size, then that new name will remain in the text box until the new size is
saved or the dialog box is closed.

If you type a new name into the Name text box, but then do not click Save, you can change the
width and height values without losing the name. However, if you close the dialog box without clicking
Save, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning.
Paper size
The width and height values can be changed by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes in the
Paper Size group box.
Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height control is rounded down to
the maximum valid entry, while any entry that is smaller than the minimum limits of the width and height
control is rounded up to the minimum valid entry.
If units are in millimeters, the custom paper-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest
whole millimeter. The custom paper-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the nearest whole
millimeter. Any non-numerical entry reverts to the minimum value. Width and height entries are
validated when the focus has changed.
The resolution of each control is 1 millimeter or 1/10 of an inch, depending on the current
measurement units.
Units
To change measurement units, click one of the options in the Units group box (either Inches or
Millimeters).
Custom width and height control limits
The minimum paper size for the product is 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in) and the maximum is 215.90 x
355.60 mm (8.50 x 14.00 in).

Paper source
The Paper source setting specifies the source tray to use for printing a document. The list of source
trays depends on the product accessories that are installed. Any optional source trays that are installed
through the Device Settings tab also appear here.

The default setting is Unspecified.
No mechanism exists for manually adding custom paper types through the driver. Use HP Web
Jetadmin to add custom paper types. Custom types can be added only by using bidirectional
communication, so they must already exist in the product when the bidirectional query occurs. If
bidirectional communication is enabled, then an updated list of paper types is returned. If bidirectional
communication is not enabled, then the driver looks for custom paper types that have been saved from
a previous bidirectional communication query, and uses those. Otherwise, no custom paper types are
available through the driver.
NOTE: To download a current version of HP Web Jetamin and for the latest list of supported host
systems, go to the following Web site:

The Resizing Options group box consists of the following controls:
●

●

●

●

Actual Size
Actual Size is the default setting. It prints the document without changing the document size.

Print Document On
Click the Print Document On option to format the document for one paper size and then print the
document on a different paper size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new paper size.
The Print Document On control is disabled by either of the following conditions:
●

The % of Actual Size value is not 100.

●

The Pages per Sheet value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.

When Print Document On is selected, the drop-down menu shows the paper sizes on which you
can print. The list contains all of the standard paper sizes that the selected paper source supports and
any custom sizes that you have created. When Print Document On is selected, Scale to Fit is
automatically selected. Clear this check box if you do not want your document reduced or enlarged to
fit on the selected paper.

Scale to Fit
The Scale to Fit option box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the
target paper size. By default, Scale to Fit is selected when Print Document On is selected. If the
setting is turned off, then the document page images will not be scaled, and are instead centered at full
size on the target paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, then the document
image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper.
When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size,
the preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to
the target paper size.

% of Actual Size
The % of Actual Size option provides a slider bar and input box to use for scaling the percentage
setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100% of actual size. Actual size is defined as the paper
size that is selected within the driver or what the driver receives from the software program (if the
software program does not negotiate the paper size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the
appropriate factor and sends it to the product.

136

Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 printer driver and HP PS Universal Print Driver for Windows

ENWW

The limits of the range are from 25% to 400%, and any values outside the range are adjusted to those
limits as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the Tab key is pressed or another
control is selected).
Any change to the scale also changes the page preview, which increases or decreases from the upperleft corner of the preview.
The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the slider-bar indicator is
dragged, and the document preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the
arrows increases or decreases the scale by 1%. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10%.
You cannot achieve an exact value by dragging the slider-bar indicator. Instead, either use the sliderbar indicator to approximate the value that you want and then use the arrows to refine the value, or
type the value into the entry box.
The following settings disable % of Actual Size:

SAMPLE

The Watermarks feature can be configured using the Driver Configuration Utility.
If the [Username] watermark is selected, the driver will use the network username of the logged in
user for the watermark.
The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the
system, plus the string "(none)," which indicates that no watermark is selected. This is the default
setting. Any watermark that is selected from this list appears in the preview image.
When the First Page Only check box is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of
the document. The First Page Only check box is disabled when the current watermark selection is
"(none).”
Watermarks are applied to logical pages. For example, when Pages per Sheet is set to "4" and
First Page Only is turned off, four watermarks appear on the physical page (one on each logical
page).
Click Edit, and the Watermark Details dialog box appears.
The dialog box shows a preview image and provides options for creating a new watermark and
controlling the message angle and font attributes.
Click OK to accept all of the changes that are made in the Watermark Details dialog box.
However, clicking Cancel does not cancel all of the changes. If you make changes to a watermark
and then select a different watermark or click New, all of the changes are saved, and only the current,
unsaved changes can be canceled.

Current watermarks
The Current Watermarks group box contains a list of available watermarks, both predefined
watermarks that are available in the driver and any new watermarks that you have created.
To create a new watermark, click New. The new watermark appears in the Current Watermarks
list and in the Watermark Message edit box as "Untitled" until you name it. The name that you
type in the Watermark Message field appears in the Current Watermarks group box in the
Watermark Details dialog box and in the Watermarks group box on the Effects tab.
To name the new watermark, type the selected watermark text in the Watermark Message edit
box.
To delete a watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list, and then click Delete.
A warning appears asking whether you are sure you want to delete the selected item. Click Cancel if
you want to keep the watermark. Click OK to delete the selected watermark.
NOTE: You can have no more that 30 watermarks in the Current Watermarks list at one time.
When you reach the limit of 30 watermarks, the New button is disabled.
To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change
the Watermark Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark.

138

Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 printer driver and HP PS Universal Print Driver for Windows

ENWW

Watermark Message
The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current
Watermarks list, except when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, you
might want several different watermarks with the message DRAFT, each with a different typeface or font
size. When this occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a number (for
example, Draft #2). When a number is added, the number two is used first, but if the resulting name
is also in the list, then the number increases until the name is unique (Draft #3, Draft #4, and so on).

Message Angle
Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations on
the page. All settings center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular setting
affects only the angle of the string placement. The following settings are available:
●

Diagonal. This is the default setting. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans
the lower-left to upper-right corners of the page.

●

Horizontal. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans the mid-left and mid-right
edges of the page.

●

Custom. Select this setting to place the text at the specified angle across the page. Use the
numeric spin box to select the angle.

Orientation
Orientation refers to the layout of the image on the page, and does not affect the way that paper feeds
into the product. You can specify the orientation of the print job. The three available orientations are
portrait, landscape, and rotated. The default orientation is Portrait.
NOTE: Nearly all software programs establish the orientation for the printed page, so the page
orientation in the driver is useful only for the few software programs that do not set an orientation.

The Orientation group box contains the following options:
●

Portrait. The top edge of the document is the shorter edge of the paper.

●

Landscape. The top edge of the document is the longer edge of the paper.

●

Rotate by 180 degrees. This creates a landscape or portrait orientation in which the image is
rotated 180°. This setting is useful for printing prepunched paper.

You can toggle orientation between portrait and landscape by clicking the document preview image. If
you select the Rotate by 180 degrees check box, no change occurs in the document preview
image.

Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent color table that is
embedded in the product firmware. You can adjust the Neutral Grays setting independently for text,
graphics, or photographs. The following options are available:
●

Black Only. This option generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner.
This option guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast. Black Only is the default
setting for the Text and Graphics components.

●

4-Color. This option generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner, which
produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the darkest
possible black. 4-Color is the default setting for Photographs.

Color Themes
The Color Themes group box contains the following RGB color options, which determines how
colors are rendered:
●

Default (sRGB)

●

Photo (sRGB)

●

Photo (Adobe RGB 1998)

●

Vivid (sRGB)

●

None

Default (sRGB)
Select Default (sRGB) for most printing needs. This setting instructs the product to interpret RGB color
as sRGB, which is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Colors are matched to optimize the RGB colors on the screen and to provide vivid images and
graphics.

Photo (sRGB)
Select Photo (sRGB) to enhance documents in which the content is mainly bitmap images, such
as .GIF or .eps files. This setting instructs the product to use the best color matching for rendering sRGB
bitmap images. This setting affects only raster data; it has no effect on text or vector-based graphics.
Using glossy paper in combination with this setting provides the maximum enhancement.

Photo (Adobe RGB 1998)
Select Photo (AdobeRGB 1998) for documents that use the AdobeRGB color space rather than
sRGB. For example, some digital cameras capture images in Adobe RBG, and documents that are
produced with Adobe PhotoShop use the Adobe RGB color space. When printing from a professional
software program that uses Adobe RGB, it is important that you turn off the color management in the
software program and allow the product software to manage the color space.

ENWW

Color tab features

151

Vivid (sRGB)
The Vivid (sRGB) feature instructs the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less
colorful objects are rendered more colorfully. This value is recommended for printing business graphics.

None
Select None to instruct the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render documents
properly when this option is selected, you must manage color in the program in which you are working
or in the operating system.
CAUTION: Use this option only if you are familiar with the procedures for managing color in the
software program or in the operating system.

Form to Tray Assignment
A network administrator can use Form to Tray Assignment to specify the paper size in each input
tray.
The product supports more than one source of paper. You can assign a form (which defines the paper
size and margins) to each paper source. When a form is matched to a source, you can select the form
when you print. The product prints from the tray to which that form is assigned.
Network administrators can use the Form to Tray Assignment setting to specify, in the driver, the
paper size that is loaded into each available input tray. The use of forms constrains the choices that are
available in the paper-size list on the Paper/Quality tab in the Printing Preferences driver tabs.
This constraint prevents (or reduces the likelihood of) tying up the product with paper-mount messages
that occur when users request sizes or types that are not available.

Mac printing-system software
The printing-system software for Mac is composed of an HP-created postscript (PS) printer definition file
(PPD) and a Printer Dialog Extension (PDE) file that work together with the Mac OS printing system.
These files are used by the Mac OS printing system to determine default printer-driver settings and to
allow the user to select between the various print options and settings. An HP-supplied Mac printer
configuration utility is provided, which allows the user to access the HP Embedded Web Server
(HP EWS) for additional configuration and product status monitoring. The following are provided on
the printing-system CD:

HP Utility

HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175 PPD
A postscript printer description (PPD) file is a text file that contains keywords and other information to
specify printer features, options, and settings. PPD files are created by printer vendors for a specific
postscript printer or printer family. PPD files are created by printer vendors to describe the set of printer
features available for their postscript printers. On the Mac, PPD files provide all the information
necessary to describe a postscript printer’s features, including options and default settings. They also
contain the postscript code used to invoke those features.

HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175 PDE
A Print Dialog extension file can specify one or more PDEs to load in the Print dialog box to provide
HP printer specific features. A printing dialog extension (PDE) is a way to extend the Print dialog box in
Mac OS X with custom printer features.
A PPD file and printing dialog extension (PDE) for a printer are bound to a printer queue when the
queue is created.

HP USB EWS Gateway
For network-connected printers, the EWS can be accessed directly by typing the network IP address or
DNS name of the product into the Web browser. HP USB EWS Gateway software, which is
automatically installed, allows a Web browser to access the product’s EWS if the product is connected
using a USB cable. Click the Utility button when using a USB connection to access the EWS though

Several methods are available for printing documents independently of the original software program
that was used to create the document. Normally, the document is printed by opening the original
application and printing it to a file, or is printed by means of a distribution method such as internet
downloading. The following print-ready file formats can be sent directly to the product without first
opening the original software program:
●

HP LaserJet Printer Control Language (.PRN)

●

Portable Document Format (.PDF)

●

Postscript (.PS)

●

Text (.TXT)

Use one of the following methods to send print-ready files to your product.
NOTE: The examples that are used here are for printing .PDF documents. However, any print-ready
file type can be substituted.

Print-ready file printing by using FTP through a browser
Complete the following steps to print print-ready files directly by using FTP through a browser.
NOTE: The following instructions can be used on Windows or Macintosh operating systems.

address of your product is 192.168.0.90, type the following:
FTP:// 192.168.0.90

Locate the print-ready file for the product.

Drag and drop the print-ready file onto the PORT1 icon in the browser window.

NOTE: If the PORT1 icon does not appear as a folder name, you might have to enable folder
viewing for FTP sites in your Web browser. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, use the following procedure
to enable the folder view.

198

Click the Tools, select the Internet Options item, and then click the Advanced tab.
