Installing the printer software

The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series comes with complete printer installation software on a CD-ROM. If you plan to use the product as a network printer, install the printer drivers on each computer that will send documents for printing. If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, but you have access to one, you can copy the software onto disks for installation on the computer. See the start guide for software installation instructions.

The printer drivers must be installed to take full advantage of printer features. Installation of other software programs on the CD-ROM is recommended, but is not required. See the Readme.wri file for more information.
