Universal Print Driver

The new user interface of the Universal Print Driver provides a more consistent look and feel across all printer models, with controls and settings that have been modified to provide a better overall customer experience.

The Universal Printer Driver is now available in more languages, and matches the language of your operating system. Administrators can also manually choose a specific language from the Configuration tab in the Printer Properties dialog if desired.

The Job Accounting option allows an organization to track print and fax jobs for accounting purposes by associating the print or fax job with specific account information, including a user name or ID, an account code, and a department code.

This allows you to bill clients or departments for print and fax jobs. You can also set quotas that limit the number of print and fax jobs in order to reduce costs.

The Universal Print Driver can update its user interface to reflect the features and options of any supported printer model. When the driver is connected to a printer through USB or over a network, the driver automatically updates the printer’s configuration, showing only the features and functions of the chosen printer model.

For example, only the paper sizes, trays, paper types, finishing options, and other options that the printer supports are shown in the driver.  The driver can be configured to automatically determine a printer model. Administrators can also manually choose a specific printer model from the Configuration tab in the Printer Properties dialog.
