In both of the two topologies described in the diagram above, the version of the driver does not matter as long as it is
compatible with the printing products. On the left, only one driver needs to be installed on the client in order to print to
one or more products. On the right there is depicted a simple point and print configuration, in which only one driver
needs to be vended down from the server to the client for printing. On a print server, HP recommends using the
version specific name for the HP UPD.
Complex Print Environments
Figure G-10 Complex Print Environments
The diagram above depicts a more typical enterprise printing environment, where a client can be connected to more
than one print server and might also have directly connected products. It is in these situations that careful driver
version management is critical.
Consider the following scenario in the diagram above: The client first Plugs and Plays with printer C, causing the pre-
loaded print driver v3.0 to be installed. Next, the client connects and prints to server A. Microsoft Point and Print
recognizes that the driver version on the client (v3.0) does not match the driver version on the server (v1.0), so the
server installs driver v1.0 on the client.
Then the client connects to and prints to server B. Again Point and Print recognizes the driver version difference and
installs driver v2.0 onto the client.
The net result is that every time the client switches from one print server to another, a driver installation takes place.
For the client Plug and Play connection to printer C, the driver is also changed from the original v3.0 to either v1.0 or
v2.0.
