HP Universal Print Driver is a Microsoft Windows -only solution with two modes: Traditional Mode and Dynamic Mode. In Traditional Mode, HP UPD behaves similarly to traditional print drivers. In Dynamic Mode, it provides discovery, auto configuration, and management features that are particularly well suited for mobile computer users.
Printer driver. In computers, a printer driver or a print processor is a piece of software on a computer that converts the data to be printed to a format that a printer can understand. The purpose of printer drivers is to allow applications to do printing without being aware of the technical details of each printer model.
Driver Verifier is a tool included in Microsoft Windows that replaces the default operating system subroutines with ones that are specifically developed to catch device driver bugs. [1] Once enabled, it monitors and stresses drivers to detect illegal function calls or actions that may be causing system corruption.
Input/output. v. t. e. In computing, a device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer or automaton. [1] A driver provides a software interface to hardware devices, enabling operating systems and other computer programs to access hardware functions without needing to know ...
For auto MDI-X to operate correctly, the data rate and duplex setting on the interface must be set to auto. Auto MDI-X was developed by Hewlett-Packard engineers Daniel Joseph Dove and Bruce W. Melvin. A pseudo-random–number generator determines whether a network port will start in MDI or MDI-X configuration to begin auto-negotiating the link.
Serial presence detect. In computing, serial presence detect ( SPD) is a standardized way to automatically access information about a memory module. Earlier 72-pin SIMMs included five pins that provided five bits of parallel presence detect (PPD) data, but the 168-pin DIMM standard changed to a serial presence detect to encode more information.
autorun.inf is an ASCII text file located in the root folder of a CD-ROM or other volume device medium (See AutoPlay device types ). The structure is that of a classic Windows .ini file, containing information and commands as "key=value" pairs, grouped into sections. [1] These keys specify:
A computer port is a hardware piece on a computer where an electrical connector can be plugged to link the device to external devices, such as another computer, a peripheral device or network equipment. [1] Electronically, the several conductors where the port and cable contacts connect, provide a method to transfer data signals between devices.
