HP Distributed Print Service Obsolete
The HP Distributed Print Service (HPDPS) print environment is
obsolete in HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20) and is not available. HPDPS,
however, will continue to be supported for HP-UX 11.0 and 10.20 until
further notice.
Four options are available for print services in this release:
1. the LP spooler which is part of the HP-UX operating system
2. the HP DirectJet 4000 Printing Appliance
3. the HP Document Router
4. the Dazel Output Server
Each option beyond the first is additive and increases in cost. Option 1
will provide base level print services. Option 2 will spool print jobs from
Windows and HP-UX clients and provide Web-accessible print queues,
management, and configuration. Option 3 will automate the delivery of
documents and provide a Web-based administrative interface for
TCP-connected network printers, fax, and email. Option 4 will provide
an enterprise wide information delivery infrastructure to enable reliable
document delivery and centralized print management across the entire
enterprise.
Options 2-4 are available directly from HP and you should contact your
local HP office for further information about functionality, platform
support, and prices.
Option 3, the HP Document Router, most closely replicates the services
that were provided by HPDPS although there is not a one-to-one
mapping of commands.
HPDPS commands that are being obsoleted are listed here for quick
