Initiation and planning

To gain the maximum benefit from the HP UPD:

 Fully understand your printing requirements and environment.

 Develop an HP UPD deployment strategy.

NOTE: An HP UPD deployment requires major changes to your IT environment and should be treated accordingly.

Make sure you back up your print servers and print queues before beginning any installation.

Understand your printing requirements and environment

Determine deployment objectives

This is a description of the objectives of the deployment. The intent is to get a clear and detailed picture of what the

end result will be after the migration or upgrade. See HP UPD deployment worksheet in Appendix F for details

Print servers or Direct IP

With improvements in desktop computing power, available printing management tools, and the growing concerns

around reducing printing management costs, some enterprise customers are starting to question whether they should

move to Direct IP printing or continue with client-server printing.

For additional information on whether direct IP printing is right for you refer to Direct IP Printing with the HP Universal

Print Driver available on www.hp.com/go/upd . HP UPD supports either environment.

Identify stakeholders

The stakeholders are anyone impacted by the plan, and can include, but are not limited to the following groups.

 End users

o Will there be downtime, what will change?

 IT staff

o How much time and resources?

 Help Desk

o What do they need to know?

Make an inventory

You must inventory all printing products, print servers, print queue names, printer drivers, IP addresses, and page

description languages (PDLs) that you are using. If you have print servers, you also need to determine if all of the

print queues are still active.

Consider PDL needs

Some business applications rely on a specific version of Printer Command Language (PCL) or require Adobe®

PostScript®. As a result, test that the applications and solutions you are using are compatible with the HP UPD

versions of PCL and postscript emulation.

If your testing proves that some applications or solutions are not compatible with the HP UPD versions of PCL and

postscript emulation, you should retain the current drivers and queues for the non-compatible applications and

solutions. Some possibilities include the following:

 Specialty products

 Specific business applications, such as ERP

 The use of certified drivers, such as SAP

 Line printers

 Large format printing products

 HP products that feature edge-to-edge printing, which require product-specific drivers
