Installing Universal Postscript Driver on Windows

Installing Universal Postscript Driver on WindowsOS

by: Hanz Makmur

All CS printers only support Postscript. To print to CS Printers, you need a Postscript driver that is not installed by default. If you have not installed one yet, follow these steps to install it.  
 
Get an HP Universal Printer Postscript Driver for your System

Download HP Universal Print Driver Series for Windows – Postscript.
We only support postscript drivers. Make sure you choose a Postscript driver. Because we change printers occasionally, please select Universal Driver and driver for Windows Postscript printer.

Extract and Install the Driver.
  • Once downloaded, Open it and Extract the Zip file to a location you will remember. (In this example, C:\HP Universal Driver folder).
  • Once extracted, it will run the installation software
  • When asked, select USB Mode – Plug and Play and check the “[x] Add HP Universal Printing PS” driver and install it.

Note:  This instruction may change occasionally due to changes in how HP does its driver installation, but you can always manually find the driver in the C:\HP Universal Driver folder later.

 
Now you are ready to set up your printers.  Follow the steps shown in Printing on Windows.
