Hi @Techhead234 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To perform a silent installation of the HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) on a Windows machine, you'll need to use command-line options that allow for the installation without user interaction. This method is commonly used in IT environments to deploy drivers across multiple systems without requiring manual intervention.

Prerequisites:

Download HP Universal Print Driver:

• Download the HP Universal Print Driver from the official HP website.
• Ensure you're downloading the right version for your system (32-bit or 64-bit).

Extract the Driver Files (if necessary):

• If the downloaded file is in a compressed format (e.g., .exe), you may need to extract it first.
  • You can do this by running the .exe installer file with the -extract option to extract the contents to a folder.
  • Example: HPUPD.exe -extract "C:\HP_Universal_Driver"

Steps for Silent Installation:

Open Command Prompt as Administrator:

• Right-click on the Start menu and select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin) to open an elevated command prompt.

Navigate to the Driver Folder:

• If you extracted the driver files, use the cd command to navigate to the folder containing the extracted files. For example:cd C:\HP_Universal_Driver

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.

I suggest you download the "PARK" (printer administrator resource kit) for the driver as it contains a detailed manual on how to deploy UPD in a variety of manners including how to customize the install into a self install package.
