HP LaserJet (8000 PCL 6) Quick Save sets

[ChelseaGirl]

Does anyone know where these settings are held ? Does anyone know of a script or tool that I could use to set up the printer with a Quick Save set already defined for the users?

Is there a hard drive installed? This will hold saved jobs, secure, walk up to print jobs, and Users info.
You can use JetAdmin to administer and control.

on a 8000 use PCL5 rather tan PCL6

I suspect that the settings are held in the Windows Registry - but where these are may be OS-version-specific, and the interpretation of the contents may also be dependent on individual drivers.

For example, on my Win XP Pro machine, I have a registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers.
This has several sub-keys, including DevModesPerUser, DevModes2 and Settings.
Each of these sub-keys has a number of REG_BINARY name/value pairs, one per logical printer.

But I don't know how to interpret the contents of the values; they are large binary fields, which appear to contains names in Unicode format; I suspect that each field may be a collection of TLD (Type/Length/Data) items (or LTD, or TLLD, or similar) but I don't really know.

I found something called PrintUI (microsoft util). This lets you define and save printers and printer settings such as "Printer Quick Save sets".
