HP EasyColor

For PCL6 installations, HP EasyColor automatically selects settings in the driver to optimize the print
experience and printed quality (color theme, color options, image enhancements) of images.
HP EasyColor is enabled by default but can be turned off on the driver's Color tab so the selection of
features becomes the user's decision.
The HP EasyColor feature will behave differently depending on whether or not HP UPD Automatic
Printer Configuration is enabled. When enabled, you can select the Update Now option from driver
properties in the device settings tab.
HP Easy color takes advantage of applications that support PNG and JPEG pass through. Examples
of these applications are Microsoft Office applications. HP Easy Color will have no effect on PDF,
Illustrator or Photoshop images as the technology differs from Microsoft Office applications.

Global per machine policy management

Prior to HP UPD 5.0, policy management was enabled for the user that installed the driver. Other
users who logged onto the machine were not managed. With the release of the HP UPD 5.0, new
install.exe switches allow the administrator to enable HP MPA or AD policy for all users logging onto
the PC. See
switches.

New features HP UPD 4.7

This section lists the new features for HP UPD 4.7. These new features are also available in UPD
5.X.

Manually configure product settings

HP UPD 4.7 supports disabling the Printer Automatic Configuration of product settings. When
disabled, product capabilities such as duplex must be configured manually.
NOTE: Use the DCU if you wish to disable Printer Automatic Configuration.
By default, the HP UPD driver queries the product to request the product capabilities, including the
presence of installed trays, output bins, duplexer, and so on. If turned on and connected to the
network, the product returns its capabilities to the driver. The product capabilities are displayed in the
driver user interface.
NOTE: Disabling Printer Automatic Configuration is sometimes referred to as disabling Automatic
Configuration, or disabling bidirectional communication with the HP UPD driver. Be aware that the
Windows print spooler is using its own bidirectional communication for spooler status information. The
HP UPD driver and the spooler status have their own bidirectional communication channels, which
means that disabling Printer Automatic Configuration has no impact on the status reporting of the
Windows spooler. The reverse is also true. When the SNMP status in the standard TCP/IP port is
disabled, the Printer Automatic Configuration of the HP UPD driver is still functional.
