Add a printer to the Devices and Printers folder (dynamic mode)
Use the HP Universal Printing dialog box to add a printer to the Printers folder while printing from a
program or from within the Printers folder.
NOTE: When a printer is created using the Add Printer Wizard, or from within the dynamic mode UI screen,
a traditional mode version of the HP UPD is created for the printer. This means that both traditional mode
and dynamic mode queues can be used on the same system. Also, when a printer is created from dynamic
mode, the new traditional mode printer takes on the same driver PDL: version as the dynamic mode queue.
This means that if PCL 6 is used for the dynamic mode queue, then the traditional mode printers created from
this will also be using the PCL 6 version of the driver.
Add a printer to the Printers folder using the dynamic mode user interface.
