Introduction

The Samsung Universal Print Driver is a single driver that can be used with different printer
models. This gives users instant access to not only Samsung print devices but also a range of
other vendor's PDL based devices without the need to download separate drivers.

PDL means both PCL and PS.

Samsung does not guarantee the quality of other vendors’ printer devices and Samsung models that are not
supported (Click

automatically set to usable default PDL.
