This guide describes the two main connection modes for the Dell Open Print Driver (OPD): direct connection to network printers and connection via a print server with OPD as the default driver. It shows how OPD discovers printers, displays available accessories such as duplexers and extra trays, and lets users select up to five favourite printers.
The document also outlines the roles of the IT administrator when OPD is installed on a print server, including configuring accessories for each printer and directing print queues to the native printer drivers. It is aimed at small‑ to medium‑size businesses that have multiple printers and limited IT resources.
