Applying the driver configuration

The LPMC installer supports the use of LDC files from the Printer Driver Configuration Utility. During installation, the system looks for specific file names for the LDC files.

Notes:

• To apply a driver configuration when the LPMC is installed, save the LDC file in the same folder as the LPMC installer.
• For Ubuntu and macOS, the LPMC installer does not support the use of LDC files.

Use the following file names:

• LPMSaaSPrintQueueConfiguration.ldc for the Cloud Print Management print queue

• LPMServerlessPrintQueueConfiguration.ldc for the Hybrid Print Management print queue

The LDC configuration must use the following value for the print queue:

<PrinterObject value="Cloud Print Management - PCLXL"></PrinterObject>

You can also use the following generic values for the printer profile and printer model:

<PrinterProfile name="Lexmark Universal v2" version="1.0">
<PrinterModel value="Lexmark Universal v2"></PrinterModel>

Notes:

• If the legacy version of LPMC is installed on your workstation, then you can upgrade to the latest version of LPMC (version 3.3.x).
• Unreleased hybrid jobs are not retained. It is highly recommended not to have any pending jobs before the upgrade.

User can select one of the following settings when upgrading to the latest version of LPMC:

• Keep User Setting —To maintain your current settings, do the following:

  1. Run the LPMC package installer with your existing configuration.xml or directprintconfiguration.xml file.

• New User Setting —To modify the existing settings, do the following:

  1. Download and edit the configuration.xml or directprintconfiguration.xml file.

  2. Place the edited files in the same directory as the existing LPMC package installer.

• Default Setting —If no configuration.xml file is attached to the LPMC installer package, then the default configuration settings provided by the downloaded LPMC installer package are applied.
