Enterprise Silent install for HP MFP

[Diggity]

I’m looking for the silent Enterprise installation for the HP MFP M426 f series. I found posts for other versions however this does not seem to apply to this version. When I look in the install files I can’t find any msi or exe file that will install silently. How can I silently deploy this version via SCCM without user interaction?
Also is there a way to install the software during the OSD install before the machine is actually connected to the printer?
Thanks

Hi,

The HP Universal Printing Driver supports a deployment as described in below manual:

You may review the document which should answer your queries.

Thanks for that, I'm going through that document now. Unfortunately, I'm getting stuck with the same problem I've been running into with every other method I've tried to get this to run silently.  

Per the document:

For example, to make the installation silent by making it available through an .EXE-based administration tool (such as SMS), type the following syntax at the command prompt:

install.exe /q /h

When I do that it still pops up the window to choose either traditional or dynamic mode....  How can I get it to really run silently?

Also it looks like it doesn't work for scanning and faxing?  Is this for printing only?  

From what I've seen ReadirisPro is required to scan and fax?  ReadirisPro 14 software that is recommended and provided by HP says that there is a silent install switch (Setup.exe /S /v /qn) however when I try to use that switch it still pops up a window walk through an install wizard.  

I really just need something that will allow for a silent install of everything needed for print, scan and fax.

Thanks

Read IRIS Pro would not be applicable, your printer include a Read IRIS Pro lincense for a single PC with the HP Software installed which conflicts your purpose..

HP UPD would be the only possible deployment solution for a such, automatic deployment of the full feature software is supported on some PageWide and Officejet Pro printers, maybe on some HP Laserjet Enterprise printers, not on such a level of HP Laserjet Pro MFPs..

OK disregard everything about Readiris Pro then

What about scanning and faxes with the UDP?  Will that allow you to scan and fax?  

[ShlomiL]

You may deploy a print only solution, I afraid that scanning and faxing require a full feature software installation, a such cannot be deployed silently

I really appreciate the assistance so far... 

Just to confirm, are you saying that there is no way to do an Enterprise silent install of the Full solution software found here?

Thanks again...

The setup.exe for the Full Installer seems to have a way of installing silently because there is a /Silent parameter available in the InstallParameters.xml file.

We are getting close to making this work on this actually by just tweaking these parameters in the InstallParameters.xml :

<x_Param flag="UI" usage="defines the type of UI" value="Silent" 

<x_Param flag="DriverOnly" usage="only installs the Driver and connects the device" value="True" />

 <x_Param flag="IPv4" usage="Silent: find device with ipv4 address " value="(IP of Printer)" />

<x_Param flag="AcceptEULA" usage="Silent: allows install to proceed " value ="True" />

Leaving everything else in the InstallParameters.xml the same, with just the changes above, it will install the printer drivers which will allow both printing and scanning.  

The only thing is that at the end of the installation a window pops up which says that the driver needs to be installed Next or Cancel ..    However the drivers are already installed!    

(It seems that making any change at all to this xml will result in this window popping up)  Just need to get rid of this pop-up window. 

Not sure what else to change in the xml or where this window is coming from.   

Any help would be appreciated.  

Thanks
