HP Universal Print Driver Series For Windows

HP Universal Print Driver for Windows, version 3 HP PCL6 • HP PCL5 • HP postscript level 2 and 3 emulation

Save valuable IT time

Free up your IT staff. The HP Universal Print Driver

for Windows is a single, intelligent driver that replaces individual drivers for HP networked printers. By deploying one full-featured driver, you virtually eliminate the need for your IT staff to install and manage multiple print drivers, saving both time and money in deploying, testing, and supporting what could be hundreds of print drivers as well as responding to end user calls.

Enable broader device compatibility. The

HP Universal Print Driver supports HP PCL6 in addition to HP PCL5 and HP postscript level 2 and 3 emulation and is compatible with a range of Windows® environments, including Windows Vista. As a result, this driver is compatible with more HP print devices than ever, including most color and black-and-white printers, multifunction products (MFPs), and digital copiers.

Control color usage. The HP Universal Print Driver

with Active Directory provides color access control capability. IT administrators can limit who uses color and when they use it by assigning color access by user, application, or time of day. They can also shut down color access completely until it’s needed for special projects. This feature ensures that those who truly need color printing, such as your sales team and marketing department, can print in color, while those who don’t need it default automatically to black-and-white printing. Make printing easier

Provide one driver and one interface for all users.

The HP Universal Print Driver features a simple user interface that is consistent between devices so end-users enjoy the same experience regardless of their device.

Experience greater color accuracy in your finished

documents. Achieve your communication goals with access to device-specific color tables, so you are able to select precisely the color combinations you need.

Improve productivity and satisfaction. Give

end-users access to advanced printer options, including n-up printing, job storage, input trays, output bins, two-sided printing, stapling, and watermark printing. The HP Universal Print Driver also recognizes new finishing devices when they are added and provides users access, without having to install a new print driver. Reduce calls to the help desk Empower users with real-time information. Real-time print job, supplies, and device information helps users stay productive. The HP Universal Print Driver lets users know when their print job has finished printing, saving trips to the printer. In addition, self-help information greatly reduces the number of calls to the help desk, improves printer uptime, and minimizes staffing expenses. This information is provided as a Status Notification Pop-up (SNP), similar to the notification you see when you receive a new e-mail message. SNPs are fully configurable to your environment. Ease IT’s burden when migrating to Windows Vista™. Rather than qualifying 100s of drivers, rely on a single Vista-compatible driver for virtually all of your HP LaserJet devices. hp

Faster and far less complicated than searching for multiple specific print drivers, HP Universal Print Driver Series for Windows is always accessible from Windows applications.

Simple, managed corporate printing Enterprise businesses have a huge investment in their print resources, and providing and managing end-user access to these resources can be a full-time job for busy IT administrators. While businesses may have a number of different printing and imaging devices with capabilities ranging from black-and-white laser printing to color laser printing to color photo printing on premium glossy paper, it is often undesirable to offer all of these capabilities to all users. At the same time, productivity stalls when users don’t have access to the features they truly need, and performing individual driver installations can monopolize an IT staff. Alleviate such headaches with one driver for all HP printers. The HP Universal Print Driver Series for Windows supports tools that enable IT administrators to assign individual, group, and job attributes:

The HP Managed Printing Administrator (MPA) tool allows

IT administrators to easily define printing and device discovery privileges as required for their environment. With HP MPA, IT administrators can control access to printers or printer capabilities, such as color printing, by creating and modifying Managed Print Policies (MPPs).

The HP Universal Print Driver with Active Directory can

simplify and expedite set-up further by automatically recognizing group and individual attributes, such as color access or other permissions already assigned through Active Directory Services (ADS).

Create Managed Printer Lists to make printer configuration

easier with the HP MPA tool. Design custom printer lists for users based on location, printer features, or common printer functionality. Printer lists may be imported from HP Web Jetadmin or Novell print shares. With optional HTML views or mappings, lists of printing devices can be easily updated and defined for different users in different environments. Effortless general office printing In many cases, corporate users print only basic office documents and rarely change printer settings. The HP Universal Print Driver Series for Windows is ideal for these users: with only a few clicks they can easily print to any HP printing device. Using HP’s Managed Printer List option, IT staff can configure and designate printers for simple access by corporate and mobile users via the driver. Simple network printing for mobile workers HP recognized that the proliferation of portable PCs meant more and more people would be working in multiple locations. To make the most of the mobile work experience, users must be able to access network printing resources. The biggest obstacle to accessing printing resources has been print driver support. Even though portable PCs provide unprecedented location flexibility, they are typically configured with driver support for a limited number of printers. HP developed a solution: HP Universal Print Driver Series for Windows.
