Manage SNP with the HP Driver Configuration Utility
The HP Driver Configuration utility (DCU) is a software program that Information Technology (IT) administrators can
use to pre-configure the HP UPD before deploying and installing it on an operating system. It is most beneficial when
configuring the HP UPD for multiple workstations or printer servers for print queues that share the same configuration.
Follow these steps to pre-configure the SNP behavior of the HP UPD:
1. Download and open the Driver Configuration utility.
Open www.hp.com/go/upd and select Download now. Select your language and operating system. Expand
Software – Universal Print Driver. To the right of HP Printer Administrator Resource Kit, click Download.
Save the file and then click the folder and click Extract all files.
NOTE: Depending on how the HP UPD driver is installed, a message might open indicating that changes made to the
HP UPD might invalidate the digital signature and Microsoft might display a warning message. The warning message
is normal behavior. Click OK to continue.
2. Click File, then Open and browse to the directory where the HP UPD is located.
3. Select the .CFG file for the HP UPD and click Open.
4. Click Device settings and expand the Printer Status Notification listing by clicking the +.
NOTE: Changing a driver .CFG file breaks the driver signature (WHQL). Driver settings can also be changed without
breaking the signature by saving the changes as a .CFM file. The *.CFM file can be used during driver installation
when using INSTALL.EXE with the option /gcfm or by copying the file to windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x83\3
(for 32-bit systems) or windows\system32\spool\drivers \x64 (for 64-bit systems) before installation.
5. Select the desired pop-up options.
6. Click File and Save As. Then save the file as a .cfm file with the same name as the original file to the same
directory as the original file.
