If the administrator wants to assign settings or printers based on who is using the computer, the
choice is whether to use Active Directory (AD) or HP Managed Printing Administration (HP MPA).
Use Active Directory?
The decision to use Active Directory versus HP MPA depends first on whether there is an Active
Directory domain available, and the granularity of policy desired.
To set up Active Directory Policy, the administrator defines the policy settings in a Group Policy
Object, (GPO) and then assigns that GPO to the domain, site, one or more Organizational Units (OU)
or users. Group Policy Objects cannot be assigned to security groups. If the administrator wants to
set up domain wide or site wide policy with overrides for specific individuals, then AD is a viable
choice. On the other hand, if the administrator wants finer grained policy than the OU structure can
provide, the options are to restructure the AD structure or use HP MPA.
HP Managed Printing Administration allows the administrator to set up arbitrary groups and to assign
users to those groups. HP MPA also provides the means to set up a default policy, which is the policy
that a user will receive if there is no specific user or group policy assigned to them. This way only
exceptions to the general policy need to be managed, instead of adding all the users to the HP MPA
database.
See
Manage the HP UPD using HP MPA on page 94 for more information on Managed Printer Lists
and AD templates.
