Deploying custom packages

Before deploying to secured printers, make sure that the printer Firmware Updates access control is enabled. For more information, see Enabling firmware updates access control.

DDU can deploy custom solutions in the form of custom packages. For information on producing custom packages, contact your Lexmark representative.

Note: Deploying custom packages with licenses is not supported.
  1. Save the custom package file to your local drive.
  2. At the command prompt, type one or more of the following:
    Note: To deploy the settings file to multiple printers, replace ‑ip IP with ‑csv DeviceListPath .

    • For unsecured printers

      DDUAppFolder\bin\ddu ‑deploy ‑ip IP ‑dpl FilePath

    • For secured printers

      • Basic authentication method using user name, password, or PIN

        DDUAppFolder\bin\ddu ‑deploy -ip IP -dpl FilePath ‑usr UserName ‑pwd Password ‑pin PIN

      • Kerberos authentication method

        DDUAppFolder\bin\ddu ‑deploy -ip IP -dpl FilePath ‑usr UserName ‑pwd Password ‑rlm RealmName ‑rlmType KERBEROS

      • LDAP authentication method

        DDUAppFolder\bin\ddu ‑deploy -ip IP -dpl FilePath ‑usr UserName ‑pwd Password ‑rlmType LDAP ‑rlmSetup RealmSetupName

      • LDAP + GSSAPI authentication method

        DDUAppFolder\bin\ddu ‑deploy -ip IP -dpl FilePath ‑usr UserName ‑pwd Password ‑rlm RealmName ‑rlmType LDAP_GSSAPI ‑rlmSetup RealmSetupName

    where:

    • DDUAppFolder is the location of the DDU folder.
    • IP is the IP address of the printer.
    • FilePath is the location of the custom package file.
    • DeviceListPath is the location of the .csv file that contains the list of IP addresses.
    • UserName is the user name for accessing secured printers.
    • Password is the password for accessing secured printers.
    • PIN is the PIN for accessing secured printers. This option is applicable only to the basic authentication method.
    • RealmName is the Kerberos realm name when using Kerberos or LDAP + GSSAPI authentication method.
    • RealmSetupName is the setup name configured on the printer when using LDAP or LDAP + GSSAPI authentication method.
  3. Check the progress of the deployment in the DDU status window.
