HP Universal Print Driver (UPD)
Each HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows is a single driver that gives you instant access to
virtually any HP LaserJet product, from any location, without downloading separate drivers. It is built on
proven HP print driver technology and has been tested thoroughly and used with many software
programs. It is a powerful solution that performs consistently over time.
The HP UPD communicates directly with each HP product, gathers configuration information, and then
customizes the user interface to show the product’s unique, available features. It automatically enables
features that are available for the product, such as two-sided printing and stapling, so you do not need
to enable them manually.
For more information, go to
www.hp.com/go/upd.
When you download and install a UPD from the product support Web page (
www.hp.com/support/
ljp3010), there will be some variations in the installation process and results depending on the driver
that you select.
From the support page, click on the Download Drivers and Software link. After you select the printer
model and operating system, there will be several selections on the download page. You can download
drivers from the “Driver” section and from the “Driver - Universal Print Driver” section.
Drivers downloaded from the “Driver” section are wrapped with the HP DIU (Driver Installation Utility)
and produce a “named” driver when installed. A named driver has the printer model number in the driver
print queue name. These drivers always install in Traditional mode. The HP PCL 6 Print Driver is a
product specific driver, and the PCL5 and postscript driver are UPDs but install as described.
