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 Officejet 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, so you do not need to enable
them manually.
