HP DJ UPD SAG The amount of time it will take to install the HP DJ 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. Typically, the installation of any driver only takes a minute or two, but this can be significantly slower if there are other printer drivers on the system. Creating a print queue using an existing driver typically takes only 30-60 seconds depending on processor speed, etc. However, if you have 100 print queues to create, this could easily add up to almost 2 hours. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832219 - Users cannot print after installing a service pack, updating rollup, or a printer hot fix on a server. Communication and training HP strongly suggests having a communication plan in place prior to beginning your deployment of the HP DJ 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 DJ UPD. Training Develop training reference materials and identify resources to help end-users successfully transition to the HP DJ UPD from standard product drivers. Include information about how to identify products through the HP DJ UPD. Employ a survey to gauge customer satisfaction. Conducting a pilot HP recommends the creation of a test-environment during HP DJ UPD implementation. Select a part of your printing environment that will not affect too many users to test the implementation prior to deployment to the entire printing environment. Make sure this test environment (applications and printers) is representative of the overall printing environment. Deploy to production HP strongly recommends a phased approach to deploying the HP DJ UPD. Deploying in a phased manner across the IT environments helps to: ● Minimize issues and provide valuable information about each type of environment. ● Uncover issues that could be documented and considered prior to the next phase. ● Increase the confidence of end-users and sponsors in the project. ● Confirm work is done adhering to requirements ● Gain formal acceptance of the product ● Hand off completed product 10

The amount of time it will take to install the HP DJ 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. Typically, the
installation of any driver only takes a
minute or two, but this can be significantly slower if there are other printer drivers on the
system.
Creating a print queue using an existing driver typically takes only 30-60 seconds depending on
processor speed, etc. However, if you have 100 print queues to create, this could easily add up
to almost 2 hours.

- Users cannot print after installing a service pack, updating rollup,
or a printer hot fix on a server.
Communication and training
HP strongly suggests having a communication plan in place prior to beginning your deployment of
the
HP DJ 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 DJ UPD.
Training
Develop training reference materials and identify resources to help end-users successfully
transition to the HP DJ UPD from standard product drivers. Include information about how to identify
products through the HP DJ UPD. Employ a survey to
gauge customer satisfaction.
Conducting a pilot
HP recommends the creation of a test-environment during HP DJ UPD implementation. Select a
part
of your printing environment that will not affect too many users to test the implementation prior to
deployment to the entire printing environment. Make sure this test environment (applications and
printers) is representative of the overall printing environment.
Deploy to production
HP strongly recommends a phased approach to deploying the HP DJ UPD.
Deploying in a phased manner across the IT environments helps to:
●
Minimize issues and provide valuable information about each type of environment.
●
Uncover issues that could be documented and considered prior to the next phase.
●
Increase the confidence of end-users and sponsors in the project.
●
Confirm work is done adhering to requirements
