Create print queues, selecting Use Existing Driver in APW or printui/u. Use MPPs to create a customized print environment and to limit user network access to certain printers. For example, users in one environment could print in color any time, while in another environment could print only during business hours. One benefit of an MPP is that it extends the control of IT administrators over the printer environment, ultimately reducing support costs, supplies costs, and productivity costs in the company. IT administrators can assign color access by user, time of day, or application, or shut color capability down completely until it's needed. Installation Can I upgrade to a new version of the Universal Print Driver without having to install the driver on every PC? If you use a software management application, such as the HP MPA or AD templates, you can simply push the new Universal Print Driver software, automatically upgrading the clients. If a client user has created permanent instance queues, the driver will be upgraded on that PC due to the way Windows works. If you do not use a software management application, then you will have to upgrade manually or ask users to run the Universal Print Driver installer from a shared location. When I installed the Microsoft Hot Fixes, I got the error message, "Unable to Install Printer. Operation could not be completed. " Recently hp updated and released to the web several print drivers with stability fixes and new features. hp has observed that a system or spooler hang may occur near the end of the installation/upgrade process. This behavior has been observed with any discreet print driver (non-Universal Print Driver) released prior to February 2007 when upgrading to a newer driver released after February 2007. Many driver files are unique to a specific driver, yet other files are common among multiple drivers. These common files need to update or replace the prior revision in order to complete the installation of the print driver. However, there are times when the operating system does not allow the print driver to replace or Universal Print Driver Frequently Asked Questions 5 update a particular . dll required to complete an installation or upgrade successfully. One such . dll that has frequently been identified to hang has been "hpbmini. dll. " Technical Description When updating an hp print driver from version 60. xx. yy. zz to version 61. xx. yy. zz the driver upgrade process may hang towards the end of the process. When the hang occurs the print driver is attempting to write some values back to the . dll, but it has not been allowed to be updated by the Operating System. The Operating System compares the hpbmini. dll file between the one currently installed and the one attempting to be installed, but does not compare file versions. Rather the Operating System makes the decision based on the date stamp of the file, and in certain cases the older version file may have a newer date stamp than the newer version file thus the Operating System will keep the existing file in place. hpbmini. dll v. 1. 0. 0. 18 1/1/06 upgrade to hpbmini. dll v. 1. 0. 0. 19 1/1/07 ­ upgrade successful. hpbmini. dll v. 1. 0. 0. 18 2/7/07 upgrade to hpbmini. dll v. 1. 0. 0. 19 1/1/07 ­ upgrade fail. hpcdmc32. dll v. 1. 0. 2. 32 1/1/06 upgrade to hpcdmc32. dll v. 1. 0. 2. 35 1/1/07 ­ upgrade successful.
