Driver Configuration
The HP LaserJet 9050 print drivers feature bidirectional communication technology which, in
supported environments, provides automatic discovery and driver configuration for product
accessories. Some accessories that are automatically discovered and configured include the
duplexing unit, optional paper trays, and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs)
Software description
Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the
following circumstances:
■ Upon installation of a printer driver, when using Enterprise Autoconfiguration (EAC)
■ When using the Update Now feature for a driver that is already installed
Bidirectional communication
In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the
product during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the driver
accordingly.
Bidirectional communication is the capability of the product to respond to data inquiries from the
computer and report information back, such as what type of print media is available or what
accessories are connected to the product. If the connection does not have this capability (that is, if it
has no bidirectional mode), it can only accept commands from the host and cannot report information
back to the host computer.
Bidirectional communication depends on your network operating system and on the type of
connection you have between your computer and the HP LaserJet 9050 printer.
When you install the HP Toolbox, bidirectional communication is always enabled. Installing the
HP Toolbox activates the HP Network Registry Agent (HPNRA) to ensure constant communication
between your computer and the printer. When you install a driver without installing the HP Toolbox at
the same time, bidirectional communication is enabled only to configure the driver, and is then
disabled unless the driver's Update Now feature is used to update the driver.
Technology background information 25
Page 42
Enterprise AutoConfiguration
Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC) uses bidirectional communication to provide autoconfiguration
functionality for installation of the print driver over a network, whether you use the installer on your
printing-system software CD or the Add Printer wizard to install the driver. Driver installation that
includes EAC is configured with the same settings as the physical configuration of the device.
Configuration occurs without user interaction. If bidirectional-communication software has been
installed previously, EAC is not activated, and the pre-existing bidirectional-communication software
is used to configure the print driver.
Software description
communication software that allows it to communicate with the product and automatically match the
print driver with the actual product configuration. EAC is activated during installation of the driver or
whenever the Update Now feature is used.
If the configuration of the HP LaserJet 9050 printer changes after installation, the driver can be
automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional
communication by using the Update Now feature. For example, if the HP LaserJet 9050 printer is
installed and an optional paper-handling accessory is added later, you can use the Update Now
feature to query the product and update the settings to match the product's configuration.
The Update Now feature triggers the driver to recheck the registry for new information. The feature
automatically updates the registry and changes the configuration information that appears on the
Configure tab if you are using an HP Traditional PCL 6 or PCL 5e driver, and on the Device
Settings tab if you are using an HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5e, or PS Emulation Unidriver.
NOTE If you are using an HP PCL or PS unidriver, you must select Update Now through the
Automatic Configuration setting in Device Settings tab. If you are using an HP traditional
PCL 6 or PCL 5e driver, you must click the Update Now button on the Configure tab. The
Update Now feature is not available with the HP Traditional PS Emulation Driver.
The following tables show the availability of EAC for various operating systems and network
environments that support bidirectional communication.

HP Driver Preconfiguration
HP Driver Preconfiguration is a software architecture and set of tools that permits HP printing-system
software to be customized and distributed in managed corporate printing environments. Using HP
Driver Preconfiguration, information technology (IT) administrators in corporate and enterprise
Technology background information 27
Page 44
environments can preconfigure the printing and device defaults for HP print drivers before installing
the drivers in the network environment.
HP Driver Preconfiguration is most beneficial when configuring print drivers for multiple workstations
or print servers for print queues that share the same configuration. Two types of features can be
configured: device settings and printing-preferences settings. The driver is configured to match the
product hardware so that gaining access to all of the product accessories through the driver is
enabled correctly (for example, for duplexing units and additional input trays). Most driver feature
settings can also be configured.
Software description
match the settings that IT administrators make in the configuration (.CFG) file (for example, optional
trays, total amount of memory, job-storage settings, or mopier settings).
The preconfiguration process consists of three basic steps: driver acquisition, driver preconfiguration,
and driver installation and deployment. These steps can be accomplished in different ways,
depending on the tool that is being used to define the configuration.
The configuration process for driver preconfiguration is supported through three distinct tools. All
three are designed with the same basic user-interface (UI) controls for interacting with the
configuration (.CFG) file, but are packaged differently, either to support established product
installation workflows or to leave the deployment and installation of the driver entirely up to the user.
The following tools support driver preconfiguration:
■ HP Driver Configuration Editor. The HP Driver Configuration Editor is a small standalone
Windows software program that the administrator can use to open the .CFG file that is
associated with a particular driver and make modifications that are applied when that driver is
installed on the target computer. It is intended for use in environments that have an established
process for deploying drivers. This is the preconfiguration tool of choice to support any Novell or
HP Print Server Appliance (PSA) Point and Print environments. It is used in the way that any
ordinary Windows software program is used.
The HP Driver Configuration Editor is available at the following URL:
hpdpc_sw.
■ The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin. HP Web Jetadmin provides a queue-
creation application that can be used to create printer queues on any Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 or workstation. The HP Web Jetadmin
Driver Configuration Plugin adds a number of screens to the existing queue-creation workflow
from which the drivers that are being installed for the queues can be customized as part of the
process. The plug-in is limited to Internet Explorer browsers. Netscape Navigator is not supported.
HP Preconfiguration configures the driver to match the accessories installed on the product, or to
http://www.hp.com/go/
The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin is available at the following Web site:
http://www.hp.com/sbso/tpm/web_jetadminplugin.html.
■ HP Customization Utility/Silent Installer. The Customization Utility features an install-time
mode of HP Driver Preconfiguration. IT administrators can use the utility to preconfigure the
drivers for a printing-system software driver installation that uses the silent installer.
Detailed information about gaining access to and installing these tools can be found in the HP Driver
Preconfiguration Support Guide, which is available on the printing-system software CD.
28 2 Software description
Page 45
Lockable features
The following driver features can be locked to prevent end-users from changing settings:
■ Print on Both Sides (Duplex)
■ Media Type
■ Paper Source
When a feature is locked, the selected default option is the only option that is available to users.
Generally, the feature is unavailable in the driver UI after it has been installed.
Euro character
The euro is the name for the currency of the European Union (EU). 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 in the world. It is vital that companies understand and prepare for the
changes the euro brings.
The HP LaserJet 9050 printer includes euro characters for each of the internal fonts. The product
can print the euro character in the Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000,
Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Hewlett-Packard is committed to
maximizing document portability through supporting and promoting euro-symbol standards.
HP Embedded Web Server and HP Toolbox
Software description
HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) and HP Toolbox are both tools that can be used to remotely
configure printers on a network. Both HP EWS and HP Toolbox are used with a Web browser and
they have a similar look and feel. Many of the pages in HP EWS are nearly identical to HP Toolbox
pages. However, there are several key differences between the two utilities:
■ HP Toolbox is used to manage the printers that are installed on the client machine where
Toolbox is installed. Toolbox gets the address of the printers from the registry entry of the port
that the printer is using.
■ HP Toolbox can also be used to manage locally connected printers.
■ To access HP EWS the user just needs to know the IP address of the printer. No software needs
to be installed on the user's computer.
■ For most products, HP EWS can only be directly accessed when both printer and computer are
equipped with network cards (or some form of network connection). In these cases the Web
browser directly addresses the printer's IP. The only Web pages available are those that are
served from the printer.
■ HP Toolbox supports network and direct connect forms of printer connectivity. The browser
directs itself to a locally hosted Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) service
that monitors the printing port (be it network or direct connect). HP Toolbox Web pages are
generated through a combination of locally installed Web content and data that is retrieved from
the printer. These Web pages also facilitate printer control. On some products, HP Toolbox
provides a link to the printer's HP EWS page, but these are not accessed directly through the
browser, but rather through the locally hosted TCP/IP service.
■ HP Toolbox provides the Select Device page, which is used to choose which of the locally
installed devices to manage (if more than one has been installed).
The HP EWS and HP Toolbox utilities are described in detain in the following sections.
Technology background information 29
Page 46
HP Embedded Web Server
The HP EWS is a standard feature for the HP LaserJet 9050 printer.
The HP EWS provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one product management. In offices
that have a limited number of products, remote management of printing devices can be
accomplished without installing any management software, such as HP Web Jetadmin. The only
requirement is that the management console have a supported Web browser.
In environments with a larger number of products, where one-to-one management is impractical, the
HP Embedded Web Server and HP Web Jetadmin work together to provide scalable remote product
Software description
management. Use HP Web Jetadmin for consolidated management tasks, when you want to perform
operations on a selected set of products instead of on individual products. For such environments,
HP provides hooks between the HP Embedded Web Server and HP Web Jetadmin so that you can
configure HP Embedded Web Server features on multiple products in one operation. For example,
you can set the security password for the HP Embedded Web Server simultaneously on a cluster of
products.
For additional information and a copy of the HP Embedded Web Server User Guide, go to:
http://www.hp.com/support/lj9050.
To view information about the product by using the HP Embedded Web Server, open a supported
Web browser and type in the product transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP)
address or host name. To find the TCP/IP address, look for IP Address on the enhanced input/

Bluetooth
Bluetooth®* wireless technology is a low-power, short-range radio technology that can be used to
wirelessly connect computers, printers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones, and other
devices.
Because Bluetooth wireless technology uses radio signals, devices do not have to be in the same
room, office, or cubicle and do not require an unobstructed line of sight in order to communicate. This
wireless technology increases portability and efficiency within business networks.
NOTE Bluetooth is a trademark owned by its proprietor and used by Hewlett-Packard
Company under license.
The HP LaserJet 9050 printer can use a Bluetooth adapter (hp bt1300) to incorporate Bluetooth
wireless technology. The adapter is available for either USB or parallel connections. The adapter has
a 10-meter, line-of-site operation range in the 2.5 GHz ISM band and can achieve data transfer rates
up to 723 Kbps. The device supports the following Bluetooth profiles:
■ Hardcopy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP)

Remote firmware update
The HP LaserJet 9050 printer features remote firmware update (RFU) capability. The method for
downloading remote firmware updates from the Web site is similar to that used to download the
latest printing-system software and print drivers.
The process for remotely upgrading firmware involves three steps:
1 Determine the current level of firmware that is installed on the HP LaserJet 9050 printer.
Software description
2 Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to your computer.
3 Download the new firmware to the product.
Determining the current level of firmware
To determine the current level of firmware, view the configuration page. To print a configuration
page, follow these instructions.
1 Press the
2 Press the up and down buttons to scroll to INFORMATION, and then press the
3 Press the up and down buttons to scroll to PRINT CONFIGURATION.
4 Press the
5 Look in the "Printer Information" section on the configuration page for the firmware date code.
The firmware date code looks something like this: 20031002 07.000.0.
Downloading the new firmware from the HP Web site
SELECT
button (the one with the check mark) to open the menus.
SELECT
button to print the configuration page.
SELECT
button.
For support information about downloading new firmware from the Web, go to http://www.hp.com/
support/lj9050.
The product can receive an .RFU update to a product when the product is in a READY state. The
product waits for all of the I/O channels to become idle before performing the update.
NOTE If the firmware update involves a change in the format of nonvolatile random-access
memory (NVRAM), any menu settings that are changed from the default settings will return to
default settings. The settings must be changed again if you want them to be different from the
defaults. Examples of settings that are affected in this way are tray types, default symbol sets,
and Web-access alerts.
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it takes for
the product to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depends on a number of things, including the speed
of the host computer that is sending the update and the I/O method (parallel or network). The
reinitialization time depends on the specific hardware configuration of the product, such as the
number of EIO devices installed, the presence of external paper-handling devices, and the amount of
memory that is installed.

Page 65
If the remote firmware update process is interrupted before the firmware is downloaded (while
RECEIVING UPGRADE appears on the control-panel display), the firmware file must be sent again.
If power is lost during the flash dual inline memory module (DIMM) update (while PERFORMING
UPGRADE appears on the control-panel display), the update is interrupted and the message
RESEND UPGRADE appears (in English only) on the control-panel display. The update must now
be sent only by a computer that is attached to the parallel port of the product.
Finally, any print jobs that are ahead of the .RFU job in the queue are printed before the update is
processed.

3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows
Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the traditional print drivers for the HP LaserJet 9050 printer.
The chapter contains the following sections:
■ HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and HP Traditional PCL 5e Driver features. This section describes
the HP PCL 6 and HP PCL 5e drivers for Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0.
■ HP Traditional Postscript 3 Emulation Driver (PS Emulation Driver) features. This section
describes the PS Emulation Driver for Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0.
You can control print jobs from several places: the product control panel, the software program, and
the driver user interface. Generally, for features that are common to two or more of these places (for
instance, you can select the media input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the
software program take precedence over print-driver settings. Print-driver settings override product
control-panel settings.

Introduction 77
Page 94
HP traditional PCL 6 and PCL 5e driver features
When you install the print drivers by using the printing-system installer in Windows 98 or
Windows Me, the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver is installed by default. The Traditional HP PCL 5e
Driver can be installed by using Add Printer. When you install the print drivers in Windows NT 4.0,
you must use the Add Printer installation method to install the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and the
HP Traditional PCL 5e Driver.
This section describes the options that are available on each tab of the HP traditional PCL 6 and
PCL 5e Document Default print-driver interface and on some of the tabs of the HP Traditional
PCL 6 and HP Traditional PCL 5e Properties print-driver interface.
This section also describes differences between the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and the HP
Traditional PCL 5e Driver.
Access to print drivers
Depending on the operating system that you are installing the print drivers on, there are different
ways to gain access to the print drivers and different print-driver interfaces.
To gain access to the print-driver settings from within most software programs, click File, click Print,
and then click Properties. These driver settings apply only while the software program is open.
drivers for Windows
HP traditional print
Access to print drivers in Windows NT 4.0
In Windows NT 4.0, you can gain access to the Printing Preferences driver tabs and the Properties
driver tabs. The settings that you make on these driver tabs control print job output.
Printing Preferences driver tabs
In Windows NT 4.0, click Start, select Settings, and then click Printers. Right-click the product
name, and then click Printing Preferences to gain access to all Printing Preferences print-driver
tabs, which are the same set of driver tabs that the software program controls. These driver settings
change the default settings that are used across all software programs.
The following Printing Preferences driver tabs are available in Windows NT 4.0:
■ Finishing tab
■ Output tab
■ Effects tab
■ Paper tab
■ Job Storage tab
NOTE If your HP LaserJet 9050 printer is equipped with a hard disk drive, all Job
Storage options are available (Proof and Hold, Private Job, Quick Copy, and Stored
Job). If your HP LaserJet 9050 printer is not equipped with a hard disk drive, but has a
minimum of 48 MB of memory, the Proof and Hold and Private Job options are
available.
■ Basics tab
HP driver tabs are indicated by the HP logo in the lower-left corner of the driver tab. Only HP tabs
are documented in this STR.

Properties driver tabs
In Windows NT 4.0, click Start, select Settings, and then click Printers. Right-click the product
name, and then click Properties to gain access to all Properties print-driver tabs. The following
Properties driver tabs are available in Windows NT 4.0:
■ General tab
■ Sharing tab
■ Ports tab
■ Advanced tab
■ Color Management tab
■ Security tab
■ NT Forms tab
■ Configure tab
NOTE Only the NT Forms tab and the Configure tab are described in this guide. See the
Properties tabs section in this chapter.
Access to print drivers in Windows 98 and Windows Me
In Windows 98 and Windows Me, click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers. Right-click the
product name, and then click Properties to gain access to all print-driver tabs. The settings that you
make on these driver tabs control print job output. The following print-driver tabs are available in
Windows 98 and Windows Me:
■ General
■ Details
■ Color Management
■ Sharing
■ Finishing
■ Output
■ Effects
■ Paper
■ Job Storage

Help system
The HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and the HP Traditional PCL 5e Driver include a full-featured Help
system to provide assistance with printing and configuration options.

What's this? Help
What's this? Help is supported in Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0. You can gain
access to What's this? Help messages in any of the following ways:
■ Right-click a control and click What's this?, and a pop-up Help window appears.
■ Click the ? button at the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X, to change the cursor to an
arrow with a question mark. Use this special cursor to select a control, and the pop-up Help
window for that feature appears.
■ Press the F1 key, and the Help window for the currently selected control appears.
Context-sensitive Help
Press the Help button on a driver tab or in a dialog box, and a context-sensitive Help message
appears.
Incompatible Options messages
Incompatible Options settings (constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in
response to specific actions that you take. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical
drivers for Windows
HP traditional print
or impossible given the capabilities of the product or the current settings of other controls. For
example, if you click Print on Both Sides and then change the media type to Transparency, a
message appears asking you to resolve this conflict.
Figure 3-1 A typical constraint message with an OK button
Whenever a constraint message appears with the OK or Cancel button, the interpretation of the
button is as follows:
■ Clicking OK accepts the change that was just made, and the driver then resets the conflicting
control to a setting that is compatible with the new value.
■ Clicking Cancel rejects the change that was just made, and the control returns to its previous
value.

Bubble Help
Bubble Help features a graphical icon that resembles a cartoon speech bubble with a lowercase "i" in
it, representing the international symbol for information. The following illustration shows a Bubble
Help icon on a driver tab.
Figure 3-2 A typical page with a Bubble Help icon
The bubble typically appears next to a control that is unavailable, although it can also accompany an
available control if an important note concerning its use is available within the Help. Moving the
pointer over the bubble changes the arrow to a gloved hand, which indicates that the area
underneath the pointer is selectable. When the bubble is selected by using either the mouse or the
keyboard, a message box appears that contains a brief explanation about why the control is disabled
and what can be done to enable it. If the control is not disabled, the message is a tip or a precaution
that you should be aware of when using that particular feature.

Finishing tab features
Use the Finishing tab to print booklets and control the media output. The following illustration shows
the Finishing tab.

Figure 3-3 The default Finishing tab
The Finishing tab contains the following controls:
■ Print Task Quick Sets group box
■ Document Options group box
■ Document preview image
■ Print Quality group box
Print Task Quick Sets
The first group box in the upper portion of the Finishing tab is Print Task Quick Sets. Any change
to the Print Task Quick Sets group box that is made on the Finishing tab affects the Print Task
82 3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows
Page 99
Quick Sets group boxes on all of the Document Defaults driver tabs (the Effects tab, Paper tab,
Job Storage, Basics tab) because they are all the same control.
Use the Print Task Quick Sets setting to store the current combination of driver settings that appear
on all of the other print driver tabs. Print Task Quick Sets are either preset by network-administrator
settings or user-defined printing specifications (such as media size, pages per sheet, and so on). The
Print Task Quick Sets control does not appear on the driver Properties tabs.
By default, the Print Task Quick Sets menu is set to Type new Quick Set name here. When you
change any of the default settings on any of the Document Defaults driver tabs and you want to
save the configuration as a Print Task Quick Set, highlight the words Type new Quick Set name
here, type the name you want for your new Print Task Quick Set, and then click Save. The Print
Task Quick Sets are saved in the system registry. To delete a Print Task Quick Set, select it in the
drop-down menu and click Delete.
NOTE Administrators can predefine Print Task Quick Sets for their users. These
administrator Print Task Quick Sets are defined on the server and are available to users, but
usually cannot be modified by users. Users can also define Print Task Quick Sets for their
own use. User-defined Print Task Quick Sets are described later in this section.
You can store a maximum of 25 Print Task Quick Sets on a particular system. If you attempt to save
too many, a message box appears that reads, "There are too many Print Task Quick Sets defined.
Please delete some before adding new ones."
The following settings are available in the Print Task Quick Sets drop-down menu:
■ Default Print Settings
■ User Guide Print Settings
Default Print Settings
When you select Default Print Settings, nearly all of the settings are restored to the combination
that existed after the driver was installed (the original settings). However, if the attribute combinations
that are associated with watermark definitions, custom media sizes, or the other quick sets have
been changed or deleted, the original settings for those items are not restored.
The following table shows the default settings for Print Task Quick Sets. See
HP Driver
