   note:

   During a new driver installation, or when changing the driver version for an existing installed HP DJ UPD printer, two choices exist for the HP DJ UPD. Selecting either option installs the same version of the driver offering the same set of capabilities.

   Following the installation, based on the selection, the driver name of the HP DJ UPD printer is either the version specific or the non-version specific HP DJ UPD. For more information refer to the System Administrator's Guide of the HP Designjet UPD.
