HP UPD - Driver Configuration Support Guide

Default or any previously stored preconfiguration. This preconfiguration is applied to the host where
print queue management is targeted.
HP Universal Print Driver (HP UPD)
The HP Universal Print Driver Postscript (HP UPD-PS) is bundled with HP Web Jetadmin software
and can be installed from any create or edit queue interface. The HP Universal Print Driver has
preconfiguration capabilities which allow you to specify print defaults such as duplex or grayscale.
Some of these defaults can be locked so that users must always use certain features such as duplex.
When HP Web Jetadmin creates a queue using the HP Universal Print Driver, the driver and printer
(specified in HP Web Jetadmin) are installed in traditional mode. This means that the printer and
driver have none of the special HP Universal Print Driver features that are available when this driver
is installed from install.exe when downloaded from
http://www.hp.com.
NOTE: Other UPDs can be added using Upload and pointing to the .INF installer file.
