HPDPS has a modular design giving it the flexibility to accommodate a
large variety of network configurations. This modularity requires you to
plan how to install HPDPS on your network. You might not want to
install all of the HPDPS components on all of your networked systems.
This plan must take into account the configuration of your network and
the printing needs of your users. Refer to Chapter 3 , “Planning Your
HPDPS Configuration,” for information on planning your print
environment.
The installed print environment might be as simple as a single HP-UX
system containing one HPDPS client, one spooler, and one supervisor, or
as complex as multiple spoolers and multiple supervisors shared
throughout multiple networks. One of the benefits of the HPDPS
modular design is the ability to install a small system initially, then to
build onto that system to form a more complex one.
If after the initial installation, you want to install additional HPDPS
clients or servers, see Chapter 3 , “Planning Your HPDPS
Configuration,”.
