DOS Printing

Printer Drivers Available

Since DOS applications are developed independently under different standards, each DOS application requires its own printer driver. Current software drivers for most HP DeskJet printers are available from the individual software manufacturers. A list of DOS software developer contact information is in the DOS Printing Guide, part of the User’s Guide Kit. Information on installing a DOS printer driver for a particular DOS application is supplied by the software manufacturer.

If there is no driver available for the DeskJet 600 printer, use a driver for a different HP DeskJet printer. In some cases, the substitute driver does not provide access to all of the DeskJet 600’s capabilities. The following table outlines usable drivers and their capabilities when used with the DeskJet 600.
