This depends. On Windows XP and Windows 2003, only the printer is deleted. On Windows
Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2008, and Windows 2008 R2 the printer is deleted and the port
associated with the printer is deleted (providing the port is not in use by another printer).

and Active Directory.
1. What are managed printer lists and policies?
Managed Printer Lists (MPLs) and Managed Printer Policies (MPPs) are features of
HP Managed Printer Administration software which allows administrators to manage and control
printing environments. See

control of products not found on the HP UPD supported printer list.

which set of policies take priority?
The HP UPD Active Directory Group Policy takes precedence over both HP MPA defined
policies and default settings.

Printer lists can be created within the HP MPA software tool, or by exporting printer lists from HP
Web Jetadmin into XML format.
