Facilitates corporate sustainability initiatives
Administrators can use the Lexmark Universal Print Drivers to promote their organization’s environmental policies. The
default queue settings can be modified to include duplex, multiple page printing (N-Up), toner darkness, and other
resource-saving measures.
New Features
New user interface
The new user interface of the Universal Print Driver provides a more consistent look and feel across all printer models.
The controls and settings have been modified to provide better language support and overall customer experience.
The Universal Print Driver is available in more languages. The user interface matches the language of your operating
system. Administrators can also manually choose a specific language from the Configuration tab in the Printer Properties
dialog.
Custom installation package
With the new Universal Print Driver installer, administrators can choose to create preconfigured installation packages
that include only the software and drivers that meet their needs. Combining the custom installation package with Driver
Configuration Files (DCFs) lets administrators create a deployment package that best suits their environment.
Job Accounting
The Job Accounting option lets you 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 lets you keep track of
the number of print jobs from different users or departments and bill those print jobs to a specific account. By associating
print jobs with specific account information, you can enforce quotas on the print jobs that users can submit. Quotas
can be set on the printer, and then associated with a specific account.
Note: This feature is available only in select printer models with a printer hard disk installed.
Dynamic driver configuration
The Universal Print Driver version 2 has the ability to update itself 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 its configuration, showing only the features and functions of a chosen printer model. Connecting the driver to
a specific printer automatically updates the driver settings to show only the paper sizes, trays, types, finishing options,
and other options that the printer supports.
You can configure the driver to determine a printer model automatically. Administrators can also manually choose a
specific printer model from the Configuration tab in the Printer Properties dialog.
Printer Driver Configuration Utility
Use the Printer Driver Configuration Utility to create driver configurations. A driver configuration is a group of saved
printer driver settings and other data that is stored in a Driver Configuration File (DCF). A driver configuration contains
various document settings and printer options. You can also create subset driver configurations that work across
different printer models.
