Printer driver configuration utility problems

[pablosn1]

Hello,

I am working on a script that will create a print queue and automatically apply the settings on the queue, or apply settings on an existing print queue. I've been researching and with the Printer Driver Configuration Utility from PARK bundle you can customize the default settings. Here is the link tho the documentation I followed from HP:

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03633712

After using the app and create the .cfm file, I am using the Install.exe found on the driver directory to apply this configuration. However this configuration is partially applied on the new print queue created or not applied at all on existing print queues.

The commands from PowerShell I am using are:

    Set-Alias -Name install -Value <File location path>

    install /gcfm"<File location path>" /s"<Server Name>" /n"<Print Queue name>"

This command shows a confirmation window that recalls to execute the command and after it does not show anything else and as I mentioned, the new queue is partially modified or existing print queue is not changed at all. Also I've tried to apply a .cfg file instead of .cfm but still the same.

In addition to above, I would like to do the same for DesignJet drivers. I was digging on the driver location and I could not see any .cfg file for the configuration.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi @Praveen196,

sorry for the late reply.

I am using few LaserJet printers such as M507, M553 or M712. Also using PageWide models 452 and 556, OfficeJet 8210 and very rare DesignJet T1600.

I downloaded PARK 1.8.8 so I am using the Driver Configuration tool in there and using Install.exe from UPD 6.3.0. I managed to create the default .cfm files to apply default configuration but once it's apply for one device, the rest will use the same default configuration, despite if I am using a different .cfm. In addition to this, this is only working when I am creating a new print queue as per my tests. If there is an existing print queue, the configuration will remain the same.

As I am using Powershell, looking forward for a GUI script, this will help me in the future a lot when I need to create or troubleshoot a queue as I will not need to connect to the server and search for the print queue.

Thank you very much in advance for the assistance!
