4 Installingsoftware printer

Printer software enables the computer to communicate with the printer. One of the printer drivers on the starter CD must be installed on your computer to allow you to take full advantage of the printer features.

If you do not have access to a CD-ROM drive, you can download the printer software from the Internet at http://www.hp.com/support/cp1700. You can also download any updates to the printer software from this website.

For information about using the printer driver or changing the printer driver settings, see “Printer settings.”

Installing the Windows printer software

The software for the printer will run on the following Windows operating systems:

lWindows 95

lWindows 98

lWindows Me

lWindows NT 4.0

lWindows 2000

When you are operating in a Windows environment, the setup software detects the version of the operating system that you are using. However, if you install a new version of Windows, you must reinstall the printer driver. For example, if you upgrade from Window 98 to Windows 2000, you must reinstall the printer driver.

It is recommended that you install the printer software before you connect the printer to your computer.
