Printer drivers

A printer driver is the software component that provides access to printer features and provides the means for the computer to communicate with the printer. Choose a printer driver based on the way you use the printer.

●Use the host-based printer driver to optimize performance. (HP LaserJet 1150 printer only).

●Use the PCL 5e printer driver if you need print results to look consistent with those from older HP LaserJet printers. Certain features are not available in this printer driver. (Do not use the PCL 5e driver for this printer with older printers.)

●Use the PCL 6 printer driver to take full advantage of the printer features. Unless complete backward compatibility with previous PCL drivers or older printers is necessary, the PCL 6 driver is recommended (HP LaserJet 1300 series only).

●Use the PS printer driver for compatibility with PostScript® needs. Certain printer features are not available in this printer driver (HP LaserJet 1300 series only).

The printer automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages depending on the driver you have selected.
