If you have a legacy HP LaserJet HP no longer supports (or doesn’t provide a “modern” driver, and the “legacy” driver no longer works, like the LaserJet 1012), or you want a single driver that works for multiple printers this guide will show you how to install and use the HP UPD on your Windows system.

Note: Some printers have problems with their respective model-specific utilities with the HP UPD. This usually affects older models like the P2015, P2035, P2055, and M401 series. This may be fixed on the newer JetIntelligence (DS) models, but I have not tested it and cannot guarantee the driver will coexist -- I WILL NOT TEST THESE AS I DO NOT SUPPORT HP's DYNAMIC SECURITY CHIP DRM, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE INTRODUCTION OF THE "e" OEM SUPPLY LOCKED PRINTERS AND FAKE "SECURITY UPDATES"!

IMPORTANT: While HP typically ships the UPD with newer printers, it is “customized” for the series they ship with, and is often required to use printer utilities. IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE THE USE OF THE PRINTER UTILITIES, INSTALL THE MODEL-SPECIFIC DRIVER. I WILL NOT TEST FOR THIS ISSUE WITH ANY PRINTER DUE TO POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS.

    • Due to the general nature of this guide, specific languages are not covered. The HP UPD supports PCL6, PCL5 and PostScript.

    • Find out what print languages your printer supports. The LaserJet Pro M401 series supports PCL6, PCL5, and PostScript. However, PCL6 is recommended.

    • If you use USB, plug your printer in.

    • I knew what my printer used in advance. Yours may have minor variations.

    • Once you know what print language(s) your printer supports, download the best one for your printer. The driver can be found on the HP website.

    • This method copies the UPD files onto your computer. If you connect a new printer and don't install the printer-specific driver, this can be used in place of the model specific driver.

    • At the installation screen, select USB mode- Plug and Play.

    • Once you select the mode, pick the options you wish to use. While these settings can be changed, leave it as-is unless you understand what the change does.

    • Click Next and the files will be copied to your computer.

    • This installation method only works with networked printers. USB IS NOT SUPPORTED.

    • After the driver loads, agree to the license.

    • Once you agree to the license, you will be asked which installation mode you want to use. Select Dynamic Mode and click Next.

    • After selecting Dynamic Mode, click Next. The printer driver will be installed, as well as a universal printer.

    • Once the driver is installed, a static IP address is required, as well as manual driver configuration. The printer is configured via IP address with this setup.

    • Manual configuration is required when using the HP UPD to replace a failing legacy driver. HOWEVER, these printers often use "USB_001" or "DOT4" on really old printers and must be setup properly. If "USB_001" fails, your printer is really old and requires "DOT4".

    • Known "DOT4" printers: LaserJet 1012, LaserJet 1200, others of similar age.

    • Find Devices and Printers. The location varies based on what version of Windows you run. Search for Control panel and find Devices and Printers.

    • Click Add a Printer. Select Add a Local printer if your printer uses USB. If networked, select Add a Network, Wireless or Bluetooth printer.

    • Allow your computer to populate the driver list. Find HP and then locate the driver that says HP Universal Printing (PCL6/PCL5/PostScript). Select the driver and click Next.

    • Name your printer, then click Next.

    • After the printer is installed, print a test page to make sure it works. Click Print a test page and make sure it works.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

I bought an HP printer specified by laserjet. I have followed a few steps to install this printer via HP UPD. at first search for the correct driver, then install it first in a USB mode after that in dynamic mode. then set the configuration pf printer and after completing all the steps just print once for a test.
