For MS-DOS printer software, contact the manufacturer of your software program. You have several options for getting printer software:

¥Download the printer software by accessing HPÕs Web site (http:// www.hp.com/support/home_products).

¥If you are in the U.S., setting up your printer for the first time, and do not have a CD-ROM drive, you can order the printer software on 3.5-inch disks by calling the phone number listed on the printer software CD case. Disks are delivered to you for no extra charge. Bonus software that may be provided on the CD will not be provided on disks.

¥If you are in the U. S. and need a software upgrade, you can order by calling (661) 257-5565.

Software upgrades are available for the cost of the disks plus shipping.

¥If you are outside the U.S. and cannot download the driver from HPÕs Web site,
