Using the Remote Control Panel
The Remote Control Panel (RCP) enables you to change printer settings if the DOS software application does not support the printer feature you want to use. To start the RCP from DOS, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the RCP is in the computer’s path statement. This can be checked by typing PATH at a DOS prompt at the root directory and pressing Enter. If the Remote Control Panel directory is not in the path statement, change to the default directory C:\HPLJUTIL.
2. At the DOS prompt, type RCP and press Enter.
3. For additional information, select Help.
