install.exe /tm — Installs the non-version-specific driver.
●
install.exe /m “<UPD specific version>”/sm <port> — Installs the specific version.
For example: install.exe /m”HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v5.2)”/sm”LPT1”
NOTE: HP UPD v5.2.6 and ealier require that the full name and version are provided with the /m
switch, as in the above example (“HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v5.2)”). HP UPD v5.3 and
later does not require the full name or version when using the /m switch.
●
Add Printer Wizard—After selecting the HP UPD inf file, the GUI offers the choice between version-
specific HP UPD and non-version-specific HP UPD.
●
printUI—For example:
C:\rundll32 printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /if /b"printer1" /f
hpcu111c.inf /r"lpt1:" /m"HP Universal Printing PCL 6"
C:\rundll32 printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /if /b"printer2" /f
hpcu111c.inf /r"lpt1:" /m"HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v5.2)"
The first command installs a printer with the name printer 1 using the non-version-specific PCL 6 driver.
The second command installs a printer called printer 2 using the version-specific PCL 6 driver.
HP UPD name selection
The first option, "HP Universal Printing," referred to as the non-version-specific HP UPD, will install or
upgrade all printers using the HP UPD to the driver version being installed. For example, if HP UPD v5.0 is
installed on the system as "HP Universal Printing PCL6" and the administrator installs the PCL 6 HP UPD v5.1
selecting the non-version HP UPD during install, every printer using the driver name "HP Universal Printing
PCL" will be upgraded.
The second option, "HP Universal Printing PCL6 (vX.Y)", referred to as the version-specific HP UPD, creates a
version-specific driver name instance of the HP UPD. Selecting the version-specific driver name of the
HP UPD does not upgrade the HP UPD's printers that have a different driver version assigned to the printer.
This allows a print server to have multiple driver versions of the HP UPD on a single system. For example, the
following driver names could all be on the same host:
●
HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v5.1)
●
HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v5.0)
●
HP Universal Printing PS (v4.7)
●
HP Universal Printing PS
●
HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v4.7)
