HP Universal
Print Driver (UPD) is an intelligent print driver that supports a broad range
of HP LaserJet printers and MFPs. Developed by Hewlett-Packard, it combines a
general purpose driver (UNIDRV or PSCRIPT) and HP proprietary extensions. HP
UPD simplifies driver deployment and management. This advanced print driver has
the ability to discover HP printing devices and automatically configure itself
to the device capabilities (e.g., duplex, color, finishing, etc.).
HP universal
print driver is a Microsoft Windows solution that provides two modes of
operation, traditional and dynamic. In traditional mode, the HP UPD behaves
similarly to traditional print drivers. In dynamic mode, it provides discovery,
auto configuration, and management features that are particularly well suited
for mobile computer users.
HP’s universal print driver is based on
Microsoft’s universal core drivers UNIDRV and PSCRIPT. These core drivers are
not usable until device specific information is used to inform the core driver
of the actual device settings and capabilities. To accomplish this task, a
universal printing dialog box is inserted before the standard print setup
dialog box. The universal printing dialog box allows users to choose a recently
used device, enter a device IP address, search for local print devices, or
choose a device from a predefined list.
