In one embodiment of the invention, a method of providing network printing mode automation, includes: storing attributes in a network printer device, where the attributes indicate an intended printing model for a printing infrastructure; reading the attributes by a client to determine the intended printing model; and configuring the client based upon the intended printing model so that an appropriate print path is created from the client to a destination. In another embodiment, an apparatus for providing network printing mode automation, includes: a communications network; a network printer configured to store attributes, where the attributes indicate an intended printing model for a printing infrastructure; and a client coupled to the network printer by the communications network, the client including an installer configured to read the attributes to determine an intended printing model and configured to set the client based upon the intended printing model so that an appropriate print path is created from the client to a destination.
