[. . . ] The Information dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 1. Information dialog box 2. Figure 1 This dialog box warns users that, depending on how the driver is installed, a Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) Digital Signature Warning will appear. Because the . CFG file that is shipped with the drivers is part of the . INF-file package (and referenced in the . INF file as a dependent file of the driver), modifying this file invalidates the digital signature that Microsoft provides when the driver is WHQLcertified. Note To prevent the WHQL Digital Signature warning from appearing during driver installation, save the driver configuration file as a Modified Config File (. CFM) and store it with the driver files. [. . . ] Note To prevent the WHQL Digital Signature warning from appearing during driver installation, save the driver configuration file as a Modified Config File (. CFM) and store it with the driver files. For more information on . CFM files, see step 4. Figure 2 shows the Microsoft warning dialog that appears at install time. Page 2 of 11 white paper Figure 2 Digital Signature Not Found dialog box This dialog appears only in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 Server, and only when drivers are being installed directly on the machine (not when they are being installed as a Point and Print client). Open a configuration file and modify it to meet your requirements. A configuration file can be a . CFG or a . CFM file. The . CFG file is the standard configuration file that is part of the driver installation package. The . CFM file is a special file that can be used to configure a driver without triggering the WHQL Digital Signature warning during driver installation. The . CFM file is not a part of the driver and cannot be installed as a part of a standard network installation. For information on deploying a . CFM file, see Copying a . CFM file to the driver directory. The UI consists of two tabs: Device Settings and Printing Preferences. It is not deployed as a part of a normal driver installation. For information on how to manually copy the file, see Copying a . CFM file to the driver directory. Once the file is saved, the driver package is ready to be installed with the new settings. Install the driver and create a printer using any preferred method. Driver pre-configuration using a modified . CFG file is compatible with any installation method that relies on the published Microsoft procedures for installing a printer. See the Microsoft Developer Network documentation for details about the published methods. All commercially available installation methods, including driver vending from Novell and Samba servers, adhere to these guidelines.

CFM file is not compatible with any remote installation methods. The . CFM file must be copied to the driver installation directory on the local machine in order to take effect. See Copying a . CFM file to the driver directory. Note If both a . CFG and . CFM file reside in the printer installation directory, the . CFM file takes priority for printer driver configuration. [. . . ] See Copying a . CFM file to the driver directory. Note If both a . CFG and . CFM file reside in the printer installation directory, the . CFM file takes priority for printer driver configuration. Exit the HP Driver Configuration Editor. Install the driver on a server or workstation. [. . . ]
