HP Universal Printer Driver Introduction ● HP universal printer drivers ● HP Managed Print Administration HP universal printer drivers Two versions of the HP UPD are available: ● The PCL 5 Universal Printer Driver ● The PS Universal Printer Driver HP Managed Print Administration The HP Managed Printing Administration (MPA) software provides system administrators an automated method to create the components of a controlled and customized print environment that uses an HP Universal Printer Driver (UPD) for Windows®. UPD users have access to almost any HP product while giving system administrators tools to manage printers more effectively. Using the MPA software, administrators control the UPD operation in a printing environment. The MPA software consists of three main components: Managed Print Policies (MPPs), Managed Printer Lists (MPLs), and User Groups. Managed printer policies A managed print policy (MPP) is an XML document that controls the printer driver operation mode in a particular printing environment. For example, users in one environment could search or discover printers using any available search option, while the same user, using the same printer driver, in another environment could be limited to printing to only a select few products as defined by the restricted mode use settings. Managed printer lists Use the MPA software to create Managed Printer Lists (MPLs), add printers to existing MPLs, and establish associations with MPPs and User Groups. The MPLs provide a simple method for users to locate and use HP printing products. The MPL defines groupings of printers based on various attributes, and controls features at both the group and individual-printer levels. Administrators can also use the MPA software to customize HTML views of MPLs to assist users in locating available printers in their environment. User groups Use the MPA software to create, import, and modify groups of users. The MPA software is also used to establish associations for existing user groups with available MPPs to manage user-group access to available printers and to control features. Users who are added to these groups are likely to be domain users, although users can be added with their local login name. HP printer drivers for Windows ENWW HP Universal Printer Driver 237

HP Managed Print Administration
HP universal printer drivers
Two versions of the HP UPD are available:
The PCL 5 Universal Printer Driver
The PS Universal Printer Driver
HP Managed Print Administration
The HP Managed Printing Administration (MPA) software provides system administrators an automated
method to create the components of a controlled and customized print environment that uses an HP
Universal Printer Driver (UPD) for Windows®. UPD users have access to almost any HP product while
giving system administrators tools to manage printers more effectively.
Using the MPA software, administrators control the UPD operation in a printing environment. The MPA
software consists of three main components: Managed Print Policies (MPPs), Managed Printer Lists
(MPLs), and User Groups.
Managed printer policies
A managed print policy (MPP) is an XML document that controls the printer driver operation mode in a
particular printing environment. For example, users in one environment could search or discover printers
using any available search option, while the same user, using the same printer driver, in another
environment could be limited to printing to only a select few products as defined by the restricted mode
use settings.
Managed printer lists
Use the MPA software to create Managed Printer Lists (MPLs), add printers to existing MPLs, and
establish associations with MPPs and User Groups. The MPLs provide a simple method for users to
locate and use HP printing products. The MPL defines groupings of printers based on various attributes,
and controls features at both the group and individual-printer levels. Administrators can also use the
MPA software to customize HTML views of MPLs to assist users in locating available printers in their
environment.
User groups
Use the MPA software to create, import, and modify groups of users. The MPA software is also used to
establish associations for existing user groups with available MPPs to manage user-group access to
available printers and to control features. Users who are added to these groups are likely to be domain
users, although users can be added with their local login name.
