3 Plan an HP UPD deployment
This chapter is designed to help you make strategic deployment decisions as you integrate the
HP UPD into your printing environment. The deployment of the HP UPD in your printing environment
will be unique based upon your specific objectives and current IT infrastructure. This chapter
assumes that you have a basic understanding of the functionality of print drivers and the Windows
printing architecture.
This chapter provides you with the options and recommendations to customize your deployment
experience based on your current printing environment and your printing goals and objectives.
Although your environment will vary slightly from the installation models below, you should be able to
use the recommendations in this document so your HP UPD deployment will be smooth and have the
least impact to your printing environment. In some cases you will use more than one solution
provided in the information below.
