HP UPD - Print Administrator's Resource Kit (PARK) Release Notes

4
Active Directory Administrator Template for UPD: This Active Directory Administrator
Template allows an administrator to manage the HP Universal Print Driver user policies, and
printer lists from within the Active Directory infrastructure.
AutoUpgradeUPD: AutoUpgradeUPD.exe simplifies the process of creating clean print queues
on a print server. This is useful when upgrading the UPD driver version, upgrading an older non-
UPD print queue to use UPD, or resetting existing print queues to factory or preconfigured
installation defaults. This tool prevents existing queues from carrying forward unknown,
incompatible and unstable configurations during driver upgrade.
Driver Configuration Utility: Windows application used to edit the configuration file associated
with a particular driver. The configuration file controls the print driver settings and takes effect
when the driver is installed for both dynamic mode and traditional mode installation methods.
Driver Deployment Utility: A simple utility that packages the driver files, and the code needed
to deploy them, into an *.EXE, *.XML and *.CAB file. These files are run on the client PC to copy
the driver files to the Windows driver store, and to install the printer.
Managed Print Administrator: Create a customized print environment that groups users with
similar requirements and define which printers they can access. Create user groups, managed
printer lists, and managed print policies effortlessly. Control user access to settings like color,
customize user notifications, and job storage. Automatically generate XML files to define client
side print policies and printer lists. Create HTML clickable image maps to help users locate
printers associated with a managed printer list.
PRNCON.EXE: Console application for adding, removing and recreating a network printer’s
point-and-print connection between a Windows client workstation and the print server to which it
is connected.
