Choose an installation method
HP UPD can be installed using multiple methods including:
Add Printer Wizard
INSTALL.EXE
HP Web Jetadmin
Microsoft Print Management Console
Custom scripts using Microsoft-approved tools
HP PARK tools
Note that there are pre-configuration implications.
See HP UPD deployment flowcharts in Appendix G for additional guidance on which installation option is best for your
environment.
Determine Driver Pre-Configuration needs
The default settings of the HP UPD can be changed to suit specific needs. For example, the administrator might want
to set duplex printing, and print in grayscale as the defaults. This can be done on a per installation, per user, per
group, or per site basis. For more information, see Managing the HP UPD with Active Directory Group Policy (chapter
8), the HP Driver Configuration Utility documentation, or by referring to the list of installation options in Installation
methods and environments in chapter 5.
Choose traditional and dynamic mode
The HP Universal Print Driver (HP UPD) can operate in two different modes, traditional or dynamic.
Traditional mode functions like the product-specific drivers. When installed in traditional mode, the HP UPD is
associated with a specific printing product, which can then be selected from the application print menu. Once
selected, the HP UPD user interface is similar in appearance to a traditional, product specific driver.
Dynamic mode allows the user to find printers on a network. This is ideal when traveling or printing to a new
product in the office. An easy-to-use interface helps users connect to HP printing products on their own. There are
four methods for finding printers in dynamic mode: recently used printers, manually enter printer address,
managed printer lists, or search options.

NOTE: For Windows 8/8.1 and later Windows operating systems, Dynamic mode is only supported in Windows
desktop applications.
Dynamic mode and traditional mode are not mutually-exclusive. You can deploy print queues using traditional mode
and also deploy the HP UPD using dynamic mode for mobile users.
For more information about traditional and dynamic mode, see Installation methods and environments in chapter 5.
