This model of printer cannot be detected by the Xerox Global Print Driver (X-GPD), so we have to set its features manually. First, on the Configuration tab, Bi-Di must be off, the Refresh Rate won't matter, and Job Notification should be off. Next, on the Options tab, under Device Options, choose the dropdown listbox next to Configuration and select Xerox WorkCentre 7232. After applying this change, back on the Configuration tab, use the Installable Options button to set the features for this particular device. For most 7132s on campus, the correct features are:  Paper Trays: 4; High Capacity Feeder: Not Installed; Finisher/Output Tray: Integrated Office Finisher; Hole Punch Unit: Not Installed; LAN Fax: Not Installed.

Printing (driver) defaults

Once the printer driver, model, communications, and features are set correctly, then you can select printer default settings, which have to be set in the correct places. First, on the Advanced Tab, we do not change any of these settings except: for GoPrint-managed printers. as in the SCIC, turn off "Enable advanced printing features". (For all printers not managed by GoPrint, leave this on for extra functionality.)  Now, from the Advanced tab, choose the Printing Defaults button. The dialog boxes you see here from here on are driver-specific; for the X-GPD driver, you see 4 tabs. Choose the Advanced tab and expand the settings under Document Options-> Paper/Output. If there is a setting for Banner Page, turn it off; if there is a setting for Job Identification, change it to Disable Job ID (which turns the banner page off).

Second, the HPUPD does not correctly detect a printer’s features (memory, duplex, trays, etc.) until it has communicated with the printer once. I run this detection when I install the Windows Server driver for each printer, but of course it doesn’t work if the printer is off. Until this runs once for each networked printer, with all intended add-ons installed and active on the printer, the configuration may not match the printer’s features. You can force this detection on a Windows client just like I do on the Windows Server: select the printer and choose Properties; on the Device Settings tab, scroll down and expand Installable Options, then change the Automatic Configuration dropdown to Update Now. It will immediately try to contact the printer and adjust the configuration, which you’ll see in a popup progress dialog. After this, change the Printer Status Notification setting right under that to Disabled, then choose OK.

The dialog boxes you see here from here on are driver-specific; for the HPUPD, you see 8 tabs. Choose the Printing Shortcuts tab. You can choose duplex in the Print on both sides: textbox: choose Yes, flip over. It is appropriate to set duplex as the default for all SCIC printers, and for any other printer whose Comments textbox on the General tab ends with a notation that this printer should be set to duplex by default. (That choice was made by the printer operator.) Right under that, make sure the Paper type: textbox is Unspecified; anything else will cause unwanted prompts for different papers.

If a printer is Offline (turned off or disconnected from the network), Bi-Di communication is not going to work and so printer features and defaults cannot be set correctly. You have to get the printer back online and seen by the server before you can continue. If a duplexer or tray is not being detected correctly, it's usually a physical problem: check that the duplexing unit or tray is installed and seated correctly. If a duplexer cannot be detected correctly, then the device options must be set manually. You can see a list of the installed options on the PostScript config page, described here .
