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

Active Directory Administrator Templates provides options for managing the HP UPD in your environment. The HP

UPD has capabilities and features that can be managed and controlled on a per-user or group level. This means that

features like Use Mode settings, Color Access Control, Search Capabilities, SNP Pop-ups, and more can be managed

down to the user level, or at a group level.

For more information about the Active Directory Administrator Templates, see the chapter on Managing the HP UPD

with Active Directory Group Policy (chapter 8).

Estimate time requirements

Make sure that you allow sufficient time to complete all of the steps. The following are some things to consider.

 Planning

 Performing System Backups

 Gathering tools and/or write scripts

 Server Installation

 Client Installation

 Testing

The amount of time it will take to install the HP UPD depends on a number of factors including the number of drivers,

the number of print queues on the server, and the number of host clients receiving the installation either PnP vended

or through HP UPD INSTALL.EXE or Add Printer Wizard. The installation of any driver can be significantly slower if

there are other printer drivers on the system.

The amount of time to create a print queue using an existing driver depends on processor speed, etc. However, if you

have 1000 print queues to create, this could easily add up to between 8 and 16 hours.

Communication and training

HP strongly suggests having a communication plan in place prior to beginning your deployment of the HP UPD. This

helps overcome objections and ease the fears of end-users who might be worried about losing some of their printing

functionality. Make sure your end-users and the IT staff members understand the benefits gained by using the HP

UPD.

Training

Develop training reference materials and identify resources to help your end-users successfully transition to the HP

UPD from standard product drivers. For example, a change from the traditional mode printing user interface to the

dynamic mode interface requires planning and in some cases simple training. Include information about how to

identify products through the HP UPD. Employ a survey to gauge customer satisfaction.

Conduct a pilot test environment

HP recommends that you create a test environment during your HP UPD implementation. Select a part of your

printing environment that will not affect many users to test the implementation prior to deploying to the entire printing

environment. Make sure this test environment (applications and printers) is representative of the overall printing

environment.

Testing and Evaluation

 Measure against the performance baselines

 Determine variances and if they warrant corrective action or a change

 Make any necessary entries into the configuration management log
