Introduction This document introduces the LexmarkTM Universal Print Driver (UPD), describes its capabilities, and provides an
overview of the devices it supports. This edition applies to the Lexmark Universal Print Drivers for Windows, version
1.6.
What are the Universal Print Drivers?
The Lexmark Universal Print Drivers provide users and administrators with a standardized, one-driver solution for
their printing needs. Instead of installing and managing individual drivers for each printer model, administrators can
install the Lexmark Universal Print Drivers for use with a variety of both mono and color laser printers.
Benefits
Allows versatility
The Lexmark Universal Print Drivers are available in 19 languages, supporting more than 60 printer models, whether
attached locally or over a network. All packages have been tested in cluster server environments, Microsoft Terminal
Server and Citrix Presentation Server environments, and are Microsoft WHQL certified (digitally signed). PCL 5, PCL
XL, and PostScript 3 emulations are available for Windows 2000 and later.
Enables bidirectional communication
Bidirectional capability automatically detects and updates the installed options both at install time and upon user
request. This allows the driver to adapt to the various capabilities of our different printers, but unlike other universal
print drivers, the network traffic is minimal.
