Driver Autoconfiguration
The HP LaserJet 9000 PCL 6 and PCL 5e drivers for Windows feature bidirectional
communication technology which, in supported network environments, provides automatic
discovery and driver configuration for printer accessories at the time of installation or later, if
needed. The HP LaserJet 9000 installer senses whether or not the installation environment
supports bidirectional communication. If the environment supports bidirectional communication,
the installer presents Driver Autoconfiguration as an installable component for a typical
installation and an optional installable component for a custom installation. The Driver
Autoconfiguration component installs the bidirectional communication software. If the installation
environment does not support bidirectional communication, the Driver Autoconfiguration option is
not displayed during installation. However, installed drivers will configure automatically based on
the HP LaserJet 9000 bundle selected during installation of the printing system software.
For detailed information about using Driver Autoconfiguration, see “Driver Autoconfiguration" in
the "Overview of printer features" section.
NOTE: Parallel and USB connections do not support bidirectional
communication. Therefore, Driver Autoconfiguration is not available with
those types of connections.
Job Status and Alerts
The Job Status and Alerts feature provides printer and job status information such as printing
history, job progress, toner and paper levels, consumable and supplies reorder information, and a
simulated view of the printer control panel. This utility offers several options for configuring pop-
up windows to view the status of the printer and of individual print jobs. For more detailed
