Software Technical Reference for the HP LaserJet 9000 printers

Software Description

Introduction

The printer comes with software and installers for Microsoft (R) Windows (R) and Apple Computer, Inc., Macintosh (TM) systems. UNIX (R) and OS/2 systems are supported, but are available only through the Web. For particular information about a given system’s installer, drivers, and components, locate the section that corresponds to that system.

Supported operating systems

The following operating systems (OSs) support a full-featured configuration of the HP LaserJet 9000 printing system software, including standard printer command language (PCL) and PS emulation drivers:

•Windows 3.1x (PCL 6 and PCL 5e) supported through the use of the HP LaserJet 8100 printer drivers. PS is supported with the HP LaserJet 8150 driver.

•Windows 95 and Windows 98.

•Windows Millennium Edition (Me).

•Windows NT 4.0 (Service packs 3 through 6).

•Windows 2000 (Service pack 1).

•IBM OS/2 2.0 or later.

•Macintosh OS System 7.5.3 or later. (PS)

NOTE: The HP LaserJet 8100 PCL 5e and PCL 6 drivers and the HP LaserJet 8150 PS driver necessary for Windows 3.1x systems are included on the HP LaserJet 9000 compact disc (CD).

Supported network operating systems

The following network operating systems support a full-featured configuration of the HP LaserJet 9000 printing system software, including standard PCL and PostScript emulation drivers:

•Windows NT 4.0

•Windows 2000

•Novell NetWare 4.x

•Novell NetWare 5.x

Technology backgrounders

Bidirectional communication

The HP LaserJet 9000 Series printing system software uses a new bidirectional communication technology. Previous versions of printing system software used Cooperative Object Layering Abstraction (COLA) architecture.

Bidirectional communication describes printer response to data inquiries from the computer and reports back information, such as what type of print media is available or what accessories are connected to the printer. If a printer does not have this capability (no bidirectional mode), it can only accept commands from the host and cannot report information back.

Driver Autoconfiguration and Job Status and Alerts use bidirectional communications software. The typical installation installs Driver Autoconfiguration in supported environments that contain the bidirectional software. Use the custom installation when you do not want these features.

Software Technical Reference for the HP LaserJet 9000 printers

Bidirectional communication depends upon your network operating system and the method used to connect your printer to the network.

The following table provides information about the operating systems and network environments that support bidirectional communication for the HP LaserJet 9000 printer.

Euro character

The euro is the name for the currency of the European Union (EU). Use of this unit was launched on January 1, 1999. The euro has changed the way business is conducted in Europe and has affected every company and industry on the continent. It is vital that companies understand and prepare for the changes the Euro brings.

The HP LaserJet 9000 printer includes euro characters for each of the internal fonts. The HP LaserJet 9000 printer can print the euro character in the Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 environments. Hewlett-Packard is committed to maximizing document portability through supporting and promoting euro symbol standards.

Installer features

The common installer is designed to provide a simple and consistent installation method for the product line. The common installer is available for the Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 operating systems.

The HP LaserJet 9000 printer features a new common installer. This new installer offers the following features:

•The HP LaserJet 9000 software CD-ROM features a CD browser. See “CD browser for Windows systems.”

•Installation of Acrobat Reader 4.05.

•The typical installation requires less interaction than previous versions.

•The installer is Web-enabled, allowing access to the HP Web site for the latest software components and drivers.

•Network connection is integrated so that you can install drivers and connect to a network printer in a single process.

•Automatic-sensing of the Windows operating system and language (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 only). Though system language is automatically sensed, the installer allows selection of any of the languages on the

HP LaserJet 9000 software CD browser.

•Full localization and enabling for double-byte fonts.

•The HP LaserJet Uninstaller utility.

•Product registration using the Web and e-mail.

All of the Windows system components are installed by using the HP LaserJet 9000 printing system installer. The installer automatically senses your language of choice and operating system. It offers selections for each printer model. You can select the type of installation you prefer: Typical Installation or Custom Installation.

If you have an Internet connection, the installer will sense the connection and provide you with the capability to connect to the HP Web site to download the latest printing system software. The installer compares the versions of the software components on the HP LaserJet 9000 software CD-ROM to those on the HP Web site. If newer versions are on the HP Web site, the installer downloads them.

CD browser for Windows systems

In previous versions of the printing system software, you had to locate and run the SETUP.EXE file, which started the installer. For the Microsoft Windows environment (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows NT 4.0), the HP LaserJet 9000 software CDROM provides an interactive CD browser that not only lets you install the printer drivers and related components, but also provides access to online product registration, user documentation, a customization utility, Adobe Acrobat Reader software, and optional HP software.

	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.

•Destination path

•Create customized installer. This option lets you create either an interactive or silent (unattended) installer customized by any of the following selections:

•Operating system

•Printer model

•Printing system components

•Interactive or silent (unattended) installer

•Copy entire printing system installer. This option lets you copy the HP LaserJet 9000 printing system installer to a selected form of high-capacity media such as a network drive. The customization utility prompts these choices:

•Language

•Operating system

Silent installer

The HP LaserJet 9000 Series Printing System software lets you create a silent installer that runs the SETUP.EXE program without user interaction. This installation method is useful when you want to use the default selections provided by the installer or when you want to run the installation without being prompted. You also have the option of creating a custom disk image containing specific drivers and utilities, allowing users to run the installer without further interaction.

Silent installation can be performed in two ways:

•Customized silent installer

•Command line silent installer

Customized silent installer

This option lets you select the printing system components to include in the silent install. You can select the operating system, language, printer models, drivers, utilities, and documentation to install.

Command line silent install

This method cannot be customized and installs only the printing system components included in the typical installation.

NOTE: Values that follow equal signs ( = ) in a command line must not contain intervening spaces.

Method 1: Command line

Type the following at the command line (do not type the beginning and ending quotation marks):

"<CD-ROM-ROOT>/SETUP/SETUP.EXE /U /PORT=XXXX /PRINTER=N /PD=N"

Method 2: SETUP.LST

Use the SETUP.LST file to specify command line arguments to the installer for an unattended installation. You can send command line arguments in one of the following ways:

•Send the command directly to the installer

Software Technical Reference for the HP LaserJet 9000 printers

•Send the command using the SETUP.LST file located in the setup directory

•Use a combination of the two previous methods

For example, this file contains two options: /port and /printer. The installer operates as normal because the /u option has not been specified. If you use setup /u for the installer, it operates in unattended mode and uses the two values specified in the defaults section of the SETUP.LST file. If you use setup /u /printer=1 for the installer, it operates in unattended mode and chooses HP LaserJet 9000 n. (The options specified on the command line override the options specified in the SETUP.LST file.)

The options available can also include the /u option. Using this option key makes the installer always operate as unattended. The following descriptions explain the available options:

•/u. Signals the installer to use the specified port and printer given on the command line (or in this file), and to use all default selections. Installation then proceeds without prompting the user.

•/port=xxxx. Used to specify the default port when performing an unattended install. The value specified by xxxx should be a valid port and should contain no spaces.

•/printer=n. Used to specify the default printer when doing an unattended install. The value specified by n is an integer that references the list of available printers. For example, the following printers are available for the HP LaserJet 9000 printer installation:

0 = HP LaserJet 9000 printer

1 = HP LaserJet 9000 n printer

2 = HP LaserJet 9000 dn printer

3 = HP LaserJet 9000 hns printer

•/pd=n. Used to specify whether the selected printer is the default printer, when you have multiple printers connected to your network. The value specified by n is an integer (that is, 0 or 1). For this argument, entering one sets the selected printer as the default printer. Entering zero (0) or not specifying a value at all sets the printer as a non-default printer.

You can preset these options in the SETUP.LST file located in the root directory of the HP LaserJet 9000 software CD-ROM. In the defaults section, add the following syntax:

[Defaults]

Options= /port=<value> /printer=<number> /pd=<number>

Optional software

The HP LaserJet 9000 software CD browser provides links to install or download HP Web JetAdmin as optional software.

HP Web JetAdmin

This software program is a printer management tool that allows network administrators to remotely install, configure, troubleshoot, manage, and set passwords for HP Jetdirect-connected printers. The HP LaserJet 9000 software CD browser provides a link to the HP Web site (http://www.hp.com/cposupport/swindexes/hpwebjetad1880_swen.html) to download the latest version of the HP Web JetAdmin software.

Printer features

Overview of printer features

The printing system software for the HP LaserJet 9000 printers includes the following features:

•Driver Autoconfiguration

•Include back cover

•PS 3 emulation

•Product registration (WebReg)

•Set Registration

•Job Retention in RAM

•Job Status and Alerts

•Remote firmware upgrade

•HP Web Access

Driver Autoconfiguration

The HP LaserJet 9000 PCL 6 and PCL 5e drivers for Windows offer a new Driver

Autoconfiguration feature. Driver Autoconfiguration works in three ways:

•In environments that do not support bidirectional communication, the driver automatically configures options based on the HP LaserJet 9000 printer bundle selected during the installation of the printing system software. For example, if the HP LaserJet 9000 DN is selected, the driver automatically configures the optional duplexing unit. There is no communication between workstation and printer. Therefore, configuration is based solely on the definition of the printer bundle. Using the same example, if the HP LaserJet

9000 DN is selected during installation, the duplexing unit is configured in the driver whether the optional duplexing unit is physically present or not.

•In environments that support bidirectional communication, the workstation communicates with the printer, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the driver accordingly.

•If the configuration of the HP LaserJet 9000 printer changes after installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication. For example, if the base printer model is installed and an optional duplexing unit is added later, you can automatically configure the duplexing unit in the driver by clicking the Update Now button on the driver’s Configure tab.

The bidirectional communication software necessary for the second and third methods of Driver Autoconfiguration is included in a typical installation when installing a network printer in supported environments. The feature is also a selectable option for a custom installation.

Software Technical Reference for the HP LaserJet 9000 printers

Include back cover

This feature lets you include a blank back cover on a document, or to include a back cover from a different paper source than that used in the remainder of the document. You can also select a first page from an alternative paper source.

For more information about using this feature, see the heading "Back Cover" under “Paper Tab Features” in the section about PCL 6 and PCL 5e driver features.

PS 3 emulation support for the HP LaserJet 9000 printer

The HP LaserJet 9000 printer PS Level 3 Emulation maintains full compatibility with Adobe PS Level 3 when PS Level 3 soft fonts are purchased from Adobe.

A set of 92 PS Level 3 soft fonts is included with the printing system software. If you want to permanently install the fonts in the printer, PS Level 3 emulation fonts are also available from HP in an optional font DIMM.

Users of Adobe-licensed applications might also have the right to use the Adobe PS level 3 printer drivers from Adobe with the HP LaserJet 9000 printer PS Level 3 emulation PPD, available on the HP LaserJet 9000 printer software CD-ROM or from the HP Web site. When using the Adobe PS Level 3 printer driver, users must comply with all Adobe licensing agreements, as stated on the Adobe Web site at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/license.html. See “Font support” for a list of the additional fonts.
