OVERVIEW
NOTE: This document focuses on how the HP Universal Print Driver (HP UPD) interacts with
Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 based on the information available at the time of writing this
document. This document does not replace or supersede any Microsoft documentation. Always
refer to Microsoft for the latest information on using Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.
Windows 8 is the current release of the Windows operating system produced by Microsoft for use
on personal computers including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater
PCs. Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system's platform, primarily
focused towards improving its user experience on mobile devices such as tablets. This includes
taking advantage of new or emerging technologies including USB 3.0, cloud computing and the low-
power ARM architecture, new security features, built-in antivirus capabilities, and support for secure
boot. Secure boot is a UEFI feature which allows operating systems to be digitally signed to
prevent malware from altering the boot process.
NOTE: The HP Universal Printing Driver (UPD) 5.6.0 PCL 6 and PS is the first version of the HP
UPD to support Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. The HP UPD does not support ARM
devices.
