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 ”.
