Delete and recreate queues with AUTOUPGRADEUPD.EXE
(traditional mode only)
The delete and recreate queues utility (AUTOUPGRADEUPD.EXE) is included with the HP Printer Administrators
Resource Kit (HP PARK). To download the HP PARK, go to www.hp.com/go/upd and click Download now. Verify
your language and then click your operating system. Expand Software – Universal Print Driver. To the right of HP
Printer Administrator Resource Kit, click Download. Save the file and then click the folder and click Extract all
files.
For more information, see the HP AUTOUPGRADEUPD.EXE Release Notes included in the HP PARK. For more
information on the HP PARK in this document, see HP Print Administrator's Resource Kit (PARK) in chapter 4.
The purpose of this tool is to simplify the process of creating clean print queues on a print server. This is useful when
upgrading the HP UPD driver version, upgrading an earlier non-HP UPD print queue to use HP UPD, or resetting
existing print queues to factory or pre-configured installation defaults. The problem this tool resolves is preventing
existing queues from carrying forward unknown, incompatible, and unstable configurations during driver upgrade. The
utility accomplishes this by deleting the existing print queue and creates a new print queue using the same printer
name, comments, location, and assigned port while applying the specified new driver.
During the print queue delete and recreate process completed by the tool, only the print queue name, port, location,
comments, share name, and share state will be retained. All the other settings on the new print queues will be set to
factory defaults. If you want to have the new print queues pre-configured to specific settings (e.g. duplex or
grayscale), use the HP Driver Configuration Utility (DCU) to pre-configure the driver and create a test queue with the
pre-configured settings. Verify that the settings on the test print queue are correct. Upgrade the rest of the print
queues using the AUTOUPGRADEUPD.EXE utility, which is designed to use the settings in this test print queue for all
the print queues that it re-creates.
NOTE: There are separate versions of AutoUpgradeUPD for 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
AutoUpgradeUPD.exe is for 32-bit operating systems and AutoUpgradeUPD64.exe is for 64-bit operating systems.
Usage
CAUTION: This utility modifies your system. You are strongly advised to make a system backup before using this
utility. In the unlikely event that the upgrade should fail, having a backup will allow you to return to a stable state.
AutoUpgradeUPD -o "<old-driver>" -n "<new-driver>" -f "<inf file>" [-s "<server-
name>"]
Table 6-3 HP AutoUpgradeUPD options
Specifies the name of the failover cluster virtual node that you want to upgrade. If
you do not specify a server, the local computer is upgraded.
NOTE: This option is not designed for specifying remote servers. The utility is
designed to be run directly from the print server, or in the case of a failover
cluster, from one of the physical nodes.
Utility will attempt to upgrade all print queues that are using this driver.
NOTE: Driver names are case sensitive.
