Selecting Logical Configuration Models
A logical configuration model shows the relationships among logical
printers, initial-value-job and initial-value-document objects, queues,
and physical printers. You might want to configure all of the printers
that you plan to administer with HPDPS at the same time. However, the
more typical approach might be to at first configure just some of them
under HPDPS , and then slowly bring more of them under HPDPS
control. This approach lets you gradually become familiar with the
capabilities and features of HPDPS and minimizes the initial
configuration effort. This section describes four configuration models
that you might consider for your HPDPS printing system.
The Desktop Configuration Model
A desktop configuration model has a one-to-one relationship between
logical printers and physical printers. This model represents the way you
typically manage and use a workstation printer. The types of jobs that
your users can print with this configuration model are directly controlled
by the capabilities of the physical printer.
