Software Installation Tips

I do not have a CD-ROM drive.

If you have access to another computer with a CD-ROM drive, you can use the MakeDisk utility in Windows to create the disks you need for the installation. Follow the first step of the installation instructions, and choose MakeDisk to create the disks.

If you have internet access, you can download drivers from the World Wide Web or HP’s FTP servers. The driver web page is:

http://www.software.hp.com

For non-U.S. customers only: Use the floppy disk(s) supplied with the printer to install the software.

If you do not have disks, see “HP Support” in the front of this guide for ordering information.

How do I access printer features?

Some printer features, such as custom paper sizes and page orientation, may be available through your application settings. Use application settings, if available, because they override printer driver settings.

Access advanced printer features through your printer driver. See “Software Tasks” on page 44 for instructions on using specific printer driver features.

What additional drivers and software upgrades are available to me?

The latest printer drivers and printing software for HP LaserJet printers are available on the World Wide Web (http://www.software.hp.com). Check the “Readme” file for additional release information.
