I've only had a quick look but it appears to install itself as a universal
printer, not a generally accessible driver that can be used by other
printers.

Thanks for sharing! I'll have to give that a try if nothing else deploying a
single driver is easier. I also like the sounds of this forcing users to
print in B/W by default.

HP have released a "universal printer driver", which will work with any of
their PCL5 or PS printers!

salprintdriver_overview.html> 

"The print drivers accommodate the majority of general office color and
black-and-white printing on HP postscript emulation and HP PCL5-enabled HP
LaserJet printers, MFPs, and digital copiers. Deploying just one driver for
your entire printing environment lets you reduce IT intervention and
eliminate the possibility of print driver incompatibilities for end-users."

Looks promising - it suppsedly has security policies to allow admins to
limit the features users can use , too?!
