HP UPD - System Administrator's Guide HP UPD 5.6.5

Term Definition as related to the HP UPD
Driver Name By default, the HP UPD installation sets the printer name to match the driver name for
the first installed printer. The driver name is defined by the vendor and read by the
Microsoft operating system from the driver's *.INF file. To view the "Driver" name, from
the Printer's folder select an installed printer, right mouse click and select Properties or
Printer Properties, go to the Advanced Tab, and locate field name "Driver."
During the HP UPD installation using Add Printer Wizard, the option exists to install the
HP UPD as either non-version specific or version specific. Selecting either option
provides the same set of driver features.
The version specific option allows installation of two or more HP UPD driver versions on
to the same system. The HP UPD version-specific driver name examples:
●
HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v5.3)
●
HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v5.2)
●
HP Universal Printing PCL5 (v5.2)
●
HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (5.0)
●
HP Universal Printing PS (4.7)
With the non-version specific option, all printer names will use the same driver version
of the installed HP UPD. The HP UPD non-version-specific driver names are defined
below:
●
HP Universal Printing PCL 6
●
HP Universal Printing PCL 5
●
HP Universal Printing PS
As a best practice, HP recommends installing the HP UPD in version specific mode to
best support control of driver version upgrade, and new product introduction. This
benefit allows multiple versions of the HP UPD to be installed onto the same system.
Administrators can create new print queues for new print products without the need to
recertify/retest existing deployed products to the new driver version.
Version specific and non-version specific HP UPD installations can exist on the same
system. The same HP UPD version can be installed two times onto the same system
using the HP UPD version specific install, followed by the HP UPD non-version specific
install option. The result is two different driver names, both using the same driver
version.

HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v5.3)
Driver Store After a print driver has been installed onto the system, the print driver is added to the
Windows driver store. The driver store facilitates installation of a new printer without
requiring the user to specify driver file location using "Browse" , "Have Disk" or other
Microsoft supported methods.
