When you add a new driver (HP UPD) and new print queues to an existing server, you might encounter change

management issues similar to upgrading drivers. Besides the problems that can occur from increasing the

load on an existing server, there can be unforeseen problems that occur due to incompatibles between

versions of shared files currently on the system and the versions of the shared files about to be installed. See

Versioning of print driver shared files on page 239 for more information on versioning print driver shared

files. If this is the only option, then HP recommends that a full backup of the server be made before any

changes are done, so that in the event of a problem there is a fallback plan.
