HP Install Network Printer Wizard

The inclusion of the HP Install Network Printer Wizard (INPW) utility on the factory image is new. INPW

INPW identifies HP Jetdirect network print devices and allows the user to select the printer to install on
the print server.

HP Download Manager for Jetdirect Print Devices

The inclusion of the HP Download Manager (DLM) for Jetdirect Printer Devices on the factory image is
new. DLM is used to upgrade HP Jetdirect print server firmware on HP network printers. The utility

firmware images already in place. The DLM discovers all or user-selected Jetdirect devices and upgrades
those based on the firmware catalog.

Microsoft Print Migrator Utility

The inclusion of the Microsoft Print Migrator utility on the factory image is new. The utility provides
complete printer configuration backup of the print server to a user-specified CAB file. Print Migrator
supports migration of print configuration data between different versions of Windows, and supports
conversion of line printer remote (LPR) ports to the Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor on Windows 2000,
Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.

Network printer drivers

Updated print drivers for HP network printers are preinstalled on the storage server. If a Service Release
DVD has been run on the server, there are updated HP network print drivers in the C:\hpnas\PRINTERS
