							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 
www.hp.com/go/upd.
UPD installation modes
Traditional mode●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.
Dynamic mode
●To use this mode, download UPD from the Internet. See www.hp.com/go/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.
