HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)
The HP Universal Print Drivers (UPDs) for Windows are drivers that give you instant access to virtually any
HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. They are built on proven
HP print driver technology and have been tested thoroughly and used with many software programs. They
are powerful solutions that perform consistently over time. For this product, there are two UPDs available:
●
PCL 5 UPD
●
HP postscript level 3 emulation UPD
An 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
