The cmpdpsrv.exe process is an executable component file of the Printer Driver Plus application, which is a Windows program classified as a printer driver tool that was developed by ViewAhead Technology (formerly known as DeviceGuys, Inc.). The Printer Driver Plus software is embedded with a set of features for implementing component driver utilities and firmware resources into a collated integration solution for supported printing devices that are connected to a Windows-based computer. This means the cmpdpsrv.exe process and the Printer Driver Plus application are deployed to assist the firmware resources and device driver software utilities of compatible printers in seamlessly integrating into the system and in correctly working with other system and application-specific printer drivers that are installed in the computer.
