Operating system
Use this section to find answers to common questions regarding use of the HP UPD with various
operating systems.
1. What about use in an Apple Macintosh Environment?
There are no plans for a Macintosh version of the driver. HP drivers can be used, however, with
the Apple Bonjour™ (formerly Rendezvous™) discovery mechanism. Bonjour behaves the same
way the HP UPD does when looking for products on the local subnet (using mDNS).
2. Does the HP UPD support XPS print paths?
XPS print path requires a product that consumes native XPS, an application that sends native
XPS and an XPS print driver to send XPS data to the an XPS print product. If each step in the
path is not native XPS requires conversion of the print content. HP UPD does offer an HP XPS
print driver. Please contact HP support for download location and documentation.
3. What is the HP Port Monitor?
The port monitor that the HP UPD uses is the standard TCP/IP port monitor that is part of the
operating system. There is an HP UPD Port monitor that is installed, but it is used only to
provide a print path to UNCpaths or shares, send print settings to a local printer, and send jobs
to a defined HTTP location for job tracking.
4. Can HP UPD be used with direct IPP printing?
Yes. HP UPD can print via IPP. When you use Add Printer Wizard, you can select A network
printer, or a printer attached to another computer. For IPP printing specify: http://
<Printer IP>/ipp
or https://<Printer IP>/
ipp
5. Can the HP UPD be used to print via IPP to a print server?
Yes, client/server printing with HP UPD over IPP is possible. See the Windows Server
documentation for instructions on how to install the Internet Printing role and install printers on
client systems.
6. Can the HP UPD used with Web Services Delivery (WSD) port?
Yes, HP UPD can print via WSD. One way to use Web Services Delivery in Windows 2008/
Windows 7 is with print manager. Install a new printer with print manager with Type of Device
set to Web Services Printer. If HP UPD was preinstalled, the HP UPD driver is automatically
selected during printer creation and the HP UPD will use a WSD port for printing.
