Driver considerations

Please consider the following to determine if the HP UPD is the correct solution for your printing environment.

 The HP UPD is supported and tested on HP printers only. For non-HP products, HP recommends using the driver

supplied by the product manufacturer.

 Not all HP printers are supported by the HP UPD. The HP UPD supports most workgroup class HP LaserJet

printers and MFPs, and a number of business Inkjet and Officejet printers. Some personal HP LaserJet and Inkjet

printers are not supported. For the most current list of HP UPD supported products, see Supported products on

the following Web site www.hp.com/go/upd.

Pre-configuration, policy and access requirements

If you plan on setting up custom default settings, or restricting access to printers or printer capabilities like color

printing, now is the time to make a list of all those requirements.

Environment and network compatibility

Validate that the HP UPD is compatible with your current environment and network communication protocols. Make

sure that the SNMP and mDNS protocols are not being filtered or blocked. The HP UPD requires these protocols for

discovery and communication with products. See HP UPD deployment worksheet in Appendix F to make sure the HP

UPD will work in your environment

Baseline the system

Test that all your applications (shrink wrapped and home-grown) are compatible with the HP UPD. Run performance

and printing tests using “typical” documents.

Risk management

As with most projects, there are risks involved. Spend some time identifying these and how to mitigate any that might

be serious. Some suggestions are:

 Make a backup of all systems before making any modifications.

 Thoroughly test before going into production.

 Plan your activities for a time of low print server usage to minimize user impact.

 When migrating to a new server, keep the old server operational for a period of time just in case you need to fall

back to it.

 Do initial testing on a test server before moving to a production server.

Key deployment decisions

 Create a list of required drivers

 Choose an installation method

 Determine Driver Pre-Configuration needs

 Choose traditional and dynamic mode

 Decide whether to manage the HP UPD with Active Directory Group Policy

 Estimate time requirements

Create a list of required drivers

 HP UPD PDLs

 Product specific drivers

 Non-HP products
