Use HP Managed Print Policies (HP MPP)
Use HP Managed Printer Policies (HP MPP) to control the driver operation mode, customize the print
environment for the user, and limit user network access to certain printers or features. When enabled,
HP Managed Printer Policies (HP MPP) prevent users from overriding or circumventing settings by
downloading a new version of the driver.
An HP Managed Printer Policies (HP MPP) is an XML document that controls the driver operation mode in a
particular printing environment. For example, users in one environment could search or discover printers
using any available search option. In turn, the same user running the same driver in another environment
could be limited to printing to a select few products, as defined by the restricted mode use settings.
One benefit of an MPP is that IT administrators have extended control over the printer environment,
ultimately reducing support costs, supplies costs, and productivity costs. Another benefit is that the IT
Administrator can use a policy ticket to define how the HP UPD behaves when operating in a specific
environment. Every user printing through the HP UPD in the specific environment is limited or controlled by
the defined policy, if they download the driver from an IT specified location or from the HP Web site, the first
time or the 100th time. That control also extends to laptop computers that have HP UPD installed and are
used at a site that defines an MPP. The printing is controlled by the defined policy.
The MPP contains the following features.
