HI Jan,

1 The UPD is only windows based at the moment. OSX uses their own 
version of a "UPD" depending on what version you running. I suggest 
always download latest driver from HP website for OSX. Linux also have 
their own printing system.

http://www.hp.com/sbso/printing/mac/index.html?jumpid=ex_R295_go/mac/printing 
HP Mac site.

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html you can download Linux 
HPLIP files from this site.

2  Install relevant drivers from sites above.

3. We have a driver pre configuration tool or you can pre configure the 
driver in WJA. You can lock many of these features. If you using the 
Safecom driver you can also configure that driver with the defaults.

See attached document on how to manage the UPD also links in document 
where to download the UPD Pre Config tools from.

4. Please check with Ralf if these options exist in Safecom. I don't 
think so.

Hi Casper

1. Is there an HP Universal Printer Driver for OSX and Linux?

2. If not, should we select the printer with the highest specification 
(the CM6040 MFP in my case) and use that driver? My reasoning is that 
when the users release on a lower specification printer (e.g. without 
colour,A3,duplex) the driver/printer will still print the job.

3. We need to know how to specify default settings on the Universal 
Print Driver for duplex default, grayscale default, etc. On OSX and 
Linux if a UPD is available.

4. Is it possible to configure the SafeCom printers (CM6040f MFP and 
P4515x) not to print a job if the paper tray has too little paper or if 
the toner is below a threshold?

Thanks

Jan
