Supported environments for managing the HP UPD
To enable policy management by using HP MPA, install the HP UPD locally on each PC by using INSTALL.EXE
and the appropriate policy enabling switch. This includes print server environments where Point and Print is
normally used to vend drivers to the client PCs. Installing the HP UPD on the print server and enabling policy
management is not sufficient to manage the client-based printing, the policy information is not propagated
to the client PCs during Point and Print driver vending.
Install and uninstall the HP MPA software
By default, the HP UPD assumes that the HP MPA is installed on a server named managed-print. As a result,
the HP UPD searches the network for http://managed-print for Managed Print Policies or Managed Printer
Lists. If you install the HP MPA on a computer with a name other than managed-print, you must change the
HP UPD default settings. To change the HP UPD default settings, install the HP UPD by using the following
switch options.
Install /policy”<computername>” or Install /policy”<IPaddress>” where the
computer name or IP address represents the name of the computer with HP MPA installed.
For example, to force the HP UPD to use the HP MPA on a server named mgmt-srvr, the complete command
line switch for the install would be.
Install /policy”mgmt-srvr” /sm192.168.1.10 /n”print queue name” /h /q
