Overview

The HP Universal Print Driver is the single driver that gives users instant access to a range of HP print devices--in the office or on the road--without downloading separate drivers.

Features

Helps simplify your print environment.

  • The HP Universal Print Driver works well with a broad range of networked and direct-connected HP LaserJet and Edgeline print devices using PCL 5, PCL 6 or postscript emulation. HP products share state-of-the-art technology, allowing the HP Universal Print Driver to support complex capabilities across many HP devices.
  • The HP Universal Print Driver offers optional Dynamic mode, in addition to Traditional mode, to enhance mobile printing. Dynamic mode locates network printers where you are, or you can enter a printer name or address and print anywhere on your network. It's great when you're on the road or want to print to a new device.
  • Users enjoy a reliable, familiar experience regardless of which device they're interacting with, seeing only those features specific to the device they choose.
  • You can rely on the HP Universal Print Driver to perform because it's built on the same technology we've been using in our discrete drivers for years. Simply install in traditional mode, and the HP Universal Print Driver is the device-specific driver.

Helps reduce paper use and save money.

  • The HP Universal Print Driver's new Eco Print short cut has two-sided printing enabled, making it easier to reduce paper use.

Helps increase productivity, reduce support calls.

  • The HP Universal Print Driver enables advanced functions on all the printers it supports--from two-sided printing and stapling to Private (PIN) Printing and color themes--so users are not held up or held back by a lack of advanced print features.
  • You can rely on the HP Universal Print Driver to perform because it's built on the same technology we've been using in our discrete drivers for years.
  • The HP Universal Print Driver supports PCL 5, PCL 6 and postscript emulation printer languages.
