What is HPDPS and why not Jet Admin

[Belinda Dermody]

The continuing saga of my new 5470. I have one new production HP system replacing a K200 this new one is 11i and when I went into SAM to configure about 40 network printers I did not see anything familar it talks to me about DCE and HPDPS, can I go back and upload my JetAdmin for 11.0 which I have always used and completely happy with. There is no user intevention for printing, everything goes thru application menus and is tied in with lp commands.

HPDPS is HP Distributed Print Service. It's the "son of Jetadmin", I guess. It's the latest greatest version anyway. You might be able to run Jetadmin, but I think HPDPS is going to be the wave of the future and you will ultimately need to become familiar with it.
