Method 7: Other supported Microsoft driver installation methods
You can use the following Microsoft installation methods to install the HP UPD driver:
Microsoft Print Management — This is a snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console. Use it to install the HP
UPD driver and create a printer instance.
Printui.dll — This Microsoft executable (rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry [options]) contains command line options
for installing printer drivers, such as the HP UPD driver.
NOTE: For information about using these methods, see the appropriate Microsoft documentation.
Environment A: Windows Cluster server environment
The HP UPD installs with automatic configuration enabled by default and requires a specific installation procedure.
This requires that certain COM objects be registered and initialized in order to perform the automatic configuration of
the products during setup. The following instructions provide information on installing the HP UPD in a Windows
Server 2008 and 2008 R2 Cluster server environment. For Windows Server 2012 and beyond, Microsoft redesigned
its clustering technology to use their Hyper-V technology, and this additional step is no longer necessary.
NOTE: HP UPD v4.7 introduced the capability to disable Printer Automatic Configuration communications (when
using traditional mode). This capability is useful if the HP UPD cannot be installed on each physical node, as
recommended by HP.
The HP UPD must be installed and initialized on every physical node that makes up the cluster environment before
creating queues on the virtual servers. HP recommends installing the HP UPD in traditional mode using the LPT1 port
on each physical node. After the printer is created, it can be deleted from the physical node’s Devices and Printers
folder if desired. This will leave the HP UPD driver intact and properly initialized.
Only traditional mode printer queues can be shared from any of the Microsoft based print servers. Sharing of dynamic
mode queues is not supported on any print servers using the HP UPD.
Repeat Step 1 on each physical node before proceeding.
1. Install the driver on each physical node in the cluster, for example by using the Add Printer Driver Wizard.
a. If you have not downloaded the HP UPD installation files, see Download and unzip the HP UPD installation
files in this chapter.
b. Log into or remotely connect to one of the physical nodes.
c. Open the Printers folder.
d. Click Add Printer.
e. Select Local printer attached to this computer and click Next.
f. Click Use the following port and select LPT1: (Recommended) Printer Port.
g. Click Next.
h. Browse to your HP UPD Installation files and click Next.
i. Follow the rest of the Add Printer Wizard procedure to complete the installation. See Method 1: Windows
client/server: Use Add Printer wizard in this chapter for more information.
2. Install the HP UPD on the virtual print server.
Installing the HP UPD on the virtual server is similar to installing the HP UPD on any print server. Install the
traditional mode of the driver, using the Add Printer Wizard of the virtual server.
