HP UPD - Release Notes version 5.8.0.17508

6
Known Limitations
The following limitations are known to exist in Windows 8 / 8.1.
 UPD Dynamic Mode printing from Modern apps is not supported. Attempting to print with UPD
Dynamic Mode from Modern apps may exhibit the following behaviors:
1) The UPD Dynamic Mode interface is not displayed. Printer discovery and selection is
unavailable.
2) Print jobs fail and must be manually removed from the print queue. This will occur if the
UPD Dynamic Mode printer does not already contain a destination printer in the “Recently
Used Printers” list.
Workaround: To print from Modern apps, create a permanent instance printer.
 When printing from a Modern app to a printer using a v3 printer driver, the user is presented with
the default print experience; print features like stapling, duplex selection, and paper size options
that are common to all printers all are available. Driver-specific features like PIN-secured printing
are unavailable when printing from Modern apps to v3 printer drivers. For more information, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh852373.aspx
 The HP LaserJet USB (DOT4) communication driver must be installed on Windows 8 / 8.1 and
Windows Server 2012 systems prior to connecting the device. This component is available for
download at http://www.hp.com/go/upd.
