HP Universal Print Driver is a Windows program that gives users access to a variety of printers without downloading separate drivers for every utilized device.

Purpose

The tool provides a streamlined and consistent interface across a variety of Hewlett-Packard and other brand printers. Thanks to this application, you can use a huge range of both old and new models. Unlike Driver Detective, all the necessary files are already included in the program.

Modes

The utility installs in Traditional or Dynamic mode. The first one is best suited for fixed arrangements like offices with traditional desktop locations. With the last, you can discover network appliances automatically or enter the name or IP address to find them. It is a good option for when you are traveling and do not have model specific drivers for new devices.

Additionally, during the program setup, users can pick Plug and Play mode. This option allows them to connect to the printer via USB connection and update the driver files.

Advantages

The easy-to-use interface gives users the tools to resolve common problems themselves. Additionally, the utility provides advanced functions on all supported printers like two-sided printing and color themes.
