INSTALLING THE HP DOWNLOAD MANAGER AND UPGRADE FILES
In a Microsoft Windows environment:
1.Obtain the necessary files and place them in a temporary directory on your PC.
2.For IPX upgrades only, extract HP JetAdmin for Novell NetWare by running the
self-extracting archive files NOVUT1.EXE AND NOVUT2.EXE in the temporary
directory (you only need to do this if you do not have a version of JetAdmin
A.01.11 or greater.)
3.Install HP JetAdmin.
4.Extract the HPDL0205.EXE file. The necessary files will be extracted to the
\HPDLINST directory.
5.Run \HPDLINST\SETUP.EXE from Windows. This will install the HP Download
Manager in the directory of your choice and create a Windows program group
for the HP Download Manager.
6.Extract the firmware file (for example, A0406EN.EXE file). The necessary files
will be extracted to the current directory. You should extract these files in
a different directory then was created for the HPDL0205.EXE files since some
of the file names are the same.
7.Run the upgrade file, ..\SETUP.EXE, from Windows. This will install the
upgrade files in a subdirectory named ..\UPGRADES\JETDIREC beneath the
directory you specified when installing the HP Download Manager. This is why
the HP Download Manager needs to be installed first!
In a HP-UX 9.x environment:
1.Log in as ROOT.
2.Obtain the necessary files and place them in a temporary directory on your
UNIX workstation.
3.If using HP JetAdmin for HP-UX 9.x software, you also need to install these
files.
4.Type tar xvf hpdl0200.tar (this will create the file hpdwnld.updt.Z and
a readme.txt file)
5.Type tar xvf <image>.tar (this will create the file <image>.updt.Z and an
<image>.txt file)
6.Type uncompress hpdwnld.updt.Z to decompress the Download Manager files.
7.Type uncompress image.updt.Z (for example a0406en.updt.Z) to decompress the
image file.
8.Run /etc/update -s <full path to hpdwnld.updt file> "*" (This will put the
Download Manager program files in /usr/lib/hpnp/bin/ directory). The HP
Download Manager needs to be installed before the image is installed!
9.Run /etc/update -s <full path to image.updt file> "*" (This will put the
image files in /usr/tftpdir/upgrades/jetdirec directory).
GETTING STARTED WITH THE HP DOWNLOAD MANAGER
Once you have installed the program files you are ready to use the HP Download
Manager.
To invoke the HP Download Manager from JetAdmin for Novell in a Microsoft
Windows* environment:
1.Run HP JetAdmin.
2.From the JetAdmin menu select File, then select JetDirect Firmware Upgrade...
3.Choose ..\HPDWNLD.EXE from the dialog box. Click on the "OK" button.
To run the Download Manager directly from a Microsoft Windows* environment:
1.Open the HP Download Manager Program Group.

Windows 95 over TCP/IP and a Novell file server is not present, refer to these
additional instructions before running the Download Manager:
Microsoft Windows NT
1.Look at the self test page under the Novell section to verify the JetDirect
print server does not have a network number for Novell. If it does, then you
can disregard the rest of these instructions.
2.Go into the Control Panel.
3.Double click on the Network icon. To get the Auto Discovery mode of the
Download Manager to work we need to check that the following services are
loaded in NT:
-For the Server version of NT: Gateway Service for Netware
-For the Workstation version of NT: Client Services for NetWare.
Load these services by doing the following:
-Click on Add Software.
-Choose the right choice for your setup (Server or Workstation).
-Click OK to add the service.

"hpdwnld <ASCII filename>". Also, the ASCII file must be stored in the same
directory as the hpdwnld.exe file.
