Installing the printing system software

The printer comes with printing system software and printer drivers on a CD-ROM. The printing system software on the CD-ROM must be installed in order to take full advantage of the printer features.

If you do not have access to a CD-ROM drive, you can download the printing system software from the Internet at http://www.hp.com/go/lj4250_software or http://www.hp.com/go/ lj4350_software.

Sample model scripts for UNIX (HP-UX®, Sun Solaris) and Linux networks are available for download from the World Wide Web. For Linux support see http://www.hp.com/go/linux. For UNIX support see http://www.hp.com/go/jetdirectunix_software.

You can download the latest software free of charge at http://www.hp.com/go/ lj4250_software or http://www.hp.com/go/lj4350_software.

After you have followed the installation instructions and loaded the software, see Using printer-driver features to get the most out of your printer.

Printer driver Help

Each printer driver has Help screens that can be activated by using either the Help button, the F1 button on the computer keyboard, or a question-mark symbol in the upper-right corner of the printer driver (depending on the Windows operating system that you are using). These Help screens give detailed information about the specific driver. Printer driver Help is separate from your program Help.

Installing Windows printing system software for direct connections

This section explains how to install the printing system software for Microsoft Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.

When installing the printing software in a direct-connect environment, always install the software before connecting the parallel or USB cable. If the parallel or USB cable was connected before the software installation, see Installing the software after the parallel or USB cable has been connected.

Either a parallel or USB cable can be used for the direct connection. Use an IEEE 1284- compatible cable or a standard 2-meter USB cable.

Do not connect parallel and USB cables at the same time.

Windows NT 4.0 does not support USB cable connections.
