Solution
Figure G-11 Solution
There are two solutions to this problem: One is to make sure that every client and every server in the enterprise is
using the same version of driver. However, given the size of most networks, this solution is impractical. The other is to
use the version management feature of the HP UPD.
Starting with v4.7, HP UPD has the ability to be installed either using a generic name, (HP Universal Printing), or a
version specific name, (HP Universal Printing (v4.7)). The recommended practice is to install HP UPD on servers
using the version specific name. The diagram above describes this. Printer C Plugs and Plays with the driver named
HP Universal Printing. This driver can be v4.7, v5.x, or even v4.5. Server A downloads HP Universal Printing (v4.7)
and Server B downloads HP Universal Printing (v5.0). The net result is that there are now 3 drivers installed on the
client, and no unintended driver upgrades/downgrades taking place.
When Server A is upgraded to HP UPD 5.X, it will see that HP UPD v5.x is already installed on the client (from the
connection to Server B) and use it.
Automate the process through scripting
Get queue and port information from old server or client
The Microsoft tools prnmngr.vbs and prnport.vbs can simplify the task of gathering information such as queue names,
driver names, port names, IP addresses, etc. from the old server. This information can be used later to create the new
queues either manually or to automate the process by scripting.
Creating print queues and ports
The Microsoft tools prnport.vbs, prnmngr.vbs and printUI.dll can simplify the task of creating print queues and printer
ports.
Other scripting examples
There is a wealth of information and scripting examples available in the Microsoft Script Repository: Printing on the
Microsoft Web site at gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter.
