HP Universal Print Driver v5.8.0.17508

Release Notes

The HP Universal Print Driver is the single driver that gives users access to a range of HP print devices--

in the office or on the road--without downloading separate drivers for every utilized printer. The HP

Universal Print Driver works well with a broad range of networked and direct-connected HP print products

using PCL 5, PCL 6 or PostScript emulation. The UPD installs in Dynamic Mode, in addition to

Traditional Mode, to enhance mobile printing. Dynamic Mode discovers network printers, or enter a printer

name or address and print anywhere on your network. It's great when you're on the road or want to print

to a new device. Traditional Mode is just like a traditional driver. Both modes can be used on the same

PC. In addition to the print driver, use the tools in the HP UPD Printer Administrator’s Resource Kit to

streamline IT tasks, implement printing policies, and optimize your unique imaging and printing

environment.
