NOTE: For more information about the UPD, see www.hp.com/go/upd.

HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)

Each 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

When you download and install a UPD from the product support Web page,

ljp1600series, there will be some variations in the installation process and results depending on the

driver that you select.

www.hp.com/go/upd.

www.hp.com/go/

From the support page, click on the Download Drivers and Software link. After you select the printer model and operating system, there will be several selections on the download page. You can download drivers from the “Driver” section and from the “Driver - Universal Print Driver” section.

ENWW Printing-system software 15

Drivers downloaded from the “Driver” section are wrapped with the HP DIU (Driver Installation Utility) and produce a “named” driver when installed. A named driver has the printer model number in the driver print queue name. These drivers always install in Traditional mode.

Drivers downloaded from the “Driver-Universal Print Driver” section includes the UPD installer. For these drivers, the driver print queue shows a non-product-specific name. When installing these drivers, you have a choice between Traditional or Dynamic mode as described below.

HP Embedded Web Server

P1100 series (wireless models) and P1600 series models are equipped with the HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS), which provides access to information about product and network activities. This information appears in a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple® Safari, or Firefox.

The HP EWS resides on the product. It is not loaded on a network server.

The HP EWS provides an interface to the product that anyone who has a network-connected computer and a standard Web browser can use. No special software is installed or configured, but you must have a supported Web browser on the computer. To gain access to the HP EWS, type the IP address for the product in the address line of the browser.

Use this mode if you are installing the driver from a CD for a single computer.

●

When installed with this mode, UPD operates like traditional printer drivers.

●

If you use this mode, you must install UPD separately for each printer.

●

Use this mode if you are installing the driver for a mobile computer, so you can

●

discover and print to HP products in any location.

Use this mode if you are installing UPD for a workgroup.

●

To use this mode, download UPD from the Internet. See

●

upd.

www.hp.com/go/

For a complete explanation of the features and functionality of the HP EWS, see the HP LaserJet P1100/ P1560/P1600 Printer Series User Guide, which is available on the printing system software CD.
