How To Plan Your Driver Distribution Strategy

The distribution of print drivers over a network must be done with care to
avoid such problems as unnecessary administration time and incorrect
driver installation.
CDI provides you with a management utility that enables you to create
configuration files that control the driver "database" from which each
workstation may draw.
It is probably safe to assume that at any one time there may be multiple
versions of operating systems on the workstations connected to your
network. This makes the strategy planning more critical.
Under NetWare, CDI uses login scripts to help control driver access and
distribution. NetWare has three basic types of login scripts:
Script Type
System login script
Group login scripts
User login scripts
Any of these scripts may be used to enable the CDI driver downloading
capability. The strategy you use will vary with your environment.

Strategy Considerations
Any user logging into the network must process this
script. All users may not need the drivers.
May require multiple group management.
Login restrictions may be necessary.
