HP Instant Printing Utility

Back to Technologies to maximise productivity

What is it?

HP Instant Printing Utility lets you conveniently print files in large format, whether these are architectural or mechanical designs, or whether you are working in MS Office 2007 (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) - just straight from your desktop!

HP GL/2 is a standard file format developed by HP for CAD applications that is generated when choosing the "Print to file" option and includes all print job settings, ready to reprint.

What are the plus points?

In short, it's more convenient, faster and more reliable as follows:

  • Convenient
    • Just right click one or more files and select HP Instant Printing Utility to send them to any HP large format printer that is installed in your printer folder
    • You can use HP-GL/2 files as proofs of your printed CAD projects and reprint them easily
    • Avoid possible errors - wasting time and media - by using HP Instant Printing Utility scaling, rotate, and real-time print preview features
  • Faster
    • Save time printing in-house and eliminate expensive outsourcing and delivery
    • Process HP-GL/2 and PDF even faster using the memory in the printer and free up your computer (noting that PDF works with all supported printers, but uses the built-in memory only for PS embedded units)
    • Continue working without interruptions, concentrating on your core tasks and design work
  • More Reliable
    • The software is optimised to avoid network traffic jams that may compromise print quality by significantly reducing the file size sent to the printer
    • Get the same results on any HP Designjet and avoid trial and error
