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 (PCL5, PCL6, 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.
This guide is distributed in an electronic format to serve as a quick-reference tool for information
technology administrators, customer care agents, support engineers, system administrators,
management information systems personnel, and printer users.
This guide includes the following information:
●
Procedures for installing and uninstalling software components, including command line
configuration and installation of the HP UPD.
●
Descriptions of the HP Universal Print Driver (HP UPD), and the features, benefits, use and
management of the HP UPD.
