HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)
The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to
virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built
on proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software
programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.
The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and
then customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically
enables features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do
not need to enable them manually.
For more information, go to
UPD installation modes
Traditional mode
Dynamic mode
www.hp.com/go/upd.
Use this mode if you are installing the driver from a CD for a single computer.
●
When installed from the CD that comes with the product, UPD operates like
●
traditional printer drivers. It operates with a specific product.
If you use this mode, you must install UPD separately for each computer and
●
for each product.
To use this mode, download UPD from the Internet. See
●
upd.
Dynamic mode allows you to use a single driver installation, so you can
●
discover and print to HP products in any location.
●Use this mode if you are installing UPD for a workgroup.
