Issue/Question

How do I print from home using personal HP print devices? 

Environment

  • Home printing

Resolution

We utilize Ricoh MFDs and HP printers at Macomb Community College. Both brands have a 'universal print driver' so that many different models will work with the same driver. If you have a printer at home that can utilize the HP Universal Printer Driver PCL 6 version, then it should work without issue.

HP: HP UPD - HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) supported printers | HP® Support - Postscript enabled only will not work, must be PCL 5 or 6, 6 is more future proof though.
