Sid 20091118 SW release notes

Changes

Tray Icon now supports hover status.
Status app consumable alerts now in sync with firmware.
Status app string updates.
Status app bitmaps and icons updated to Sid versions.
Status app no longer momentarily flashes when PJL updates are received.

Known issues

Device settings tab is inactive. Device settings are not passed down to firmware.
Power meter graphic is missing from the device settings.
Resume button icon is missing from all alerts.
In some cases bitmap object types are incorrectly identified. This may cause a K-only color space conversion to be done instead of a process black conversion and vice versa.

Uninstall of previous SW versions

The current SW driver does not have an uninstaller. The uninstall process is as follows:

Make sure the printer is disconnected or turned off.
If the Tray Icon is showing in the system tray right click on the icon and select “Hide”. This will cause the tray icon utility to exit so that it can be updated and avoids the need for a second reboot.
Open the “Printers and Faxes” tool from the control panel.
Delete all instances of the Sid, CP1025 and CP1025nw printers.
In the “Printers and Faxes” window click on File->Server Properties.
Select the Driver tab of the Print Server Properties dialog, highlight the “HP Sid” driver and click the remove button. If notified that the driver cannot be removed because it is in use stop and re-start the spooler by typing “net stop spooler” followed by “net start spooler” on the command line. Then try the remove again.
Also remove any instances of the CP1025 and CP1025nw printers from the Print Server Properties dialog.
Remove old instances of the .inf files by:

Search the .inf directory for oem*.inf files containing 1025. Open and verify that the .inf is indeed a Sid .inf. If it is then delete the .inf and the corresponding .pnf files.

Reboot (sorry about that).
Start a command prompt and change into your windows directory and from the windows directory execute the following commands:

net stop spooler
del hpcp1020*.* /s
net start spooler

Install of current SW version

The current driver must be installed through a Plug and Play install process. It will install only the printer driver.

Connect the printer to the PC and power it on. Wait for the PnP prompts to start. You will first be prompted to install the LEDM driver followed by the Printer Driver.
LEDM Install

When the LEDM PnP Prompt occurs do not allow the installer to search for drivers at Windows Update.
At the next screen select “Install from a list or specific location”. Click next.
At the next screen click the Browse button and select the Sid_20091118\bulkiodrv directory.
Click next and if warned that the SW is not signed click the “Continue Anyway” button.
Point the installer at the driver directory, select the hppadm14_for_sid.inf. file and continue.
Once the LEDM PnP install is complete there is a manual step that must be performed before HP’s test application will work. Marvell assumes that this step will be taken care of by the HP installer team in the future. The step is to edit a registry key. Open regedit.exe and locate the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{211cd2c1-a63e-4164-9e17-fda3fe1f79ff}\##?#USB#Vid_03f0&Pid_0b2a&MI_01#6&2732edb4&0&0001#{211cd2c1-a63e-4164-9e17-fda3fe1f79ff}\#\Device Parameters\Portname

The portion highlighted in orange is created during the install, the part in red might vary from printer to printer – Marvell is not sure what those numbers are referring to. The part in black has to be added manually. The value for Portname can be anything – typically it is the USB port number assigned to your print driver during install. The key is that the value in the registry matches the value used in HP’s test application (this value is configurable).

Printer Driver Install

When the PnP prompt for the driver occurs select the “Do not allow it to search Windows Update for software” option.
At the next screen select “Install from a list or specific location”. Click next.
At the next screen click the Browse button and select the Sid_20091118 directory.
Click next and when warned that the SW is not signed click the “Continue Anyway” button.
If any prompts display asking for a directory point them to the Sid_20091118 directory.
Once the install is complete click Finish on the final dialog.
