HP UPD - System Administrator's Guide HP UPD 5.6.5

1 Purpose and scope
Introduction
This system administrator's guide provides information about the HP Universal Print Driver (HP UPD) and the
available HP UPD tools. For each output format (PCL 5, PCL 6 and PS), a separate downloadable driver exists.
Because the core code and functionality are the same for all formats, this documentation refers to HP UPD
without specifying the output format.
NOTE: The information in this document is based on the latest information available at writing. Always
refer to
www.hp.com/go/upd for the most current information. Information on this site supersedes
information in this document.
Generally, procedures in this document represent the steps required when using Microsoft Windows 7. The
steps for other Windows operating systems may differ slightly.

systems personnel, and printer users.
NOTE: Send suggestions for improvements, comments, and questions about the HP UPD or questions
