The Lexmark Universal Print Driver provides users and administrators with a standardised, 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 Driver for use with a variety of both mono and colour laser printers and multi-function devices.
The UPD is available in 27 languages, supporting more than 200 printer models that are connected locally or over a network.
All packages are Microsoft certified and digitally signed, and have been tested in the following:
The following emulation drivers are available on computers running on Microsoft Windows Vista® operating system or later:
The Job Accounting option allows an organisation to track print jobs for accounting purposes by associating the print job with specific account information, including a user name or ID, an account code, and a department code. This enables the tracking of the number of print jobs from different users or departments, and the billing of those print jobs to a specific account. By associating print jobs with specific account information, quotas can be enforced on the print jobs that users can submit.
With only one package to manage, testing and internal certification of print drivers is simplified by the use of the Lexmark Universal Print Driver packages. Time spent on installation, both on servers and workstations, is greatly reduced, and hard drive space formerly occupied by many product-specific drivers is now diminished significantly.
The Lexmark Universal Print Driver packages use the same graphic user interface as the product-specific drivers the users are accustomed to, and now all queues will share that same interface, decreasing calls to the help desk. Users can create and save profiles for their most frequently used settings, or use profiles that were created for them by IT.
Administrators can use the Lexmark Universal Print Driver packages to encourage their organisation’s environmental policies. The default queue settings can be modified to include duplex, multi-page printing (N-up), toner darkness, and other resource-saving measures.
