Process Flow for HP UPD management with HP MPA
1.
Administrator installs and configures HP MPA User Groups, Policies, and Printer Lists.
2.
To enable HP MPA policy management, the HP UPD is installed or upgraded using install.exe
with one of the following switches:
●
/gempa - Installs the HP UPD and enables policy management for the HP MPA server
named "managed-Print".
●
/policy"MPAservername"–Enables the HP UPD to be managed by HP MPA and allows the
administrator to enter the name of the server running HP MPA.
●
/gpolicy"servername" – Globally enables policy management for all users who log onto a
PC and uses the HP MPA server defined in the servername field.
Configure the HP UPD default settings and/or print policy
using Group Policy Objects in Active Directory
Like HP MPA settings, the changes made within Group Policy Objects control the global HP UPD
user capabilities. Available for download at www.hp.com/go/upd, an HP UPD Administrative Template
can be added to create a Group Policy Object to manage the user HP UPD capabilities. The settings
apply to any queue that uses the HP UPD. Care should be taken when locking configuration settings
as the user is unable to change a locked setting. As an example, if duplex is enabled and locked, the
user will be unable to override this to print transparencies.
The HP UPD Administrator Template is available for download at
