HP 2605dn Print Drivers User Manual

2 Software description
Introduction
The HP Universal Print Driver helps eliminate driver chaos in your print environment by dramatically
reducing the number of drivers needed. Broad compatibility ensures it works with many HP print
products, often reducing driver use to a single driver. For each output format, there is a separate
downloadable driver.
●
The PCL5, PCL6 and PS HP Universal Print Driver works well with a broad range of networked
and direct-connected HP (Color) LaserJet, HP Business Inkjet/Officejet, and Edgeline print
products. HP products share state-of-the-art technology, allowing the HP Universal Print Driver
to support complex capabilities across many HP products, making them easier to use, support,
certify and deploy.
●
Install the HP Universal Print Driver in traditional or dynamic mode.
◦
Traditional mode — Behaves like a product specific driver, creating a permanent instance
of the driver. Use in point and print environments or with direct IP printing.
◦
Dynamic mode — Allows the most flexibility. A user can find and print to any supported HP
product within any network or print environment without installing a product-specific driver.
The HP UPD discovers the product capabilities so that users can print using most of them,
including advanced printing options such as watermarks and booklet printing.
●
Local language drivers available in 35 spoken languages.
●
You can rely on the HP Universal Print Driver to perform because it's built on the same
technology we've been using in our product-specific drivers for years.
Easy management tools help meet your unique needs.
HP provides tools and services to customize and manage drivers and printers, so you choose driver
capabilities that best suit your unique environment, from managing print queues and color use, to
ensuring secure printing for sensitive documents.
●
Using the HP Driver Configuration Utility (DCU), you can pre-configure the driver, which allows
you to use the standard Windows driver installation procedure.
● The HP Driver Deployment Utility creates a single executable file for an HP UPD installation with
customized pre-configured driver settings.
● Using the Active Directory Group Policy, you can define print policies for the HP UPD when
installed in traditional mode with direct printing, or when installed in dynamic mode. The Active
Directory Group Policy template does not work with point and print installations.
