Product: HP Laserjet m525
Operating System: Other

Hello,

 

I am searching for a v4/type 4/class driver UPD to install on Windows Server 2012 R2.  Manual searching around the web and forums suggests that the HP UPDs are only v3 compatible at this time.  The v4 drivers that are available on Server 2012 are all class drivers and appear to be model specific. 

 

I also do not see v4 drivers for the m525 posted on the HP support site either.  This suggests the v4 drivers for this model must be downloaded from Windows Update instead.  That presents an additional challenge for servers that are normally blocked from direct internet access.

 

Does anyone know if there are plans to expand UPDs to v4 in the future?  Perhaps we are overthinking the deployment of the new v4 drivers.  Any info or clarification on how to manage v4 drivers would be appreciated.

 

Some info that got me to this point:

- Use Server 2012 and v4 drivers as work around:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3139469/delay-occurs-when-you-try-to-access-a-network-print...

 

- HP UPDs v3 only: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03737195

 

- Download v4 from vendor or Windows Update: https://blog.thinprint.com/the-new-microsoft-v4-printer-driver-model/
