Installing the printer driver (Windows and Macintosh)

Printer driver software lets a computer communicate with the printer. One of the printer drivers on the Starter CD must be installed on your computer to allow you to take full advantage of the printer features.

If you do not have access to a CD-ROM drive, you can download the printer software from the Internet at http://www.hp.com/support/dj450. You can also download any updates to the printer software from this website.

For information about using the printer driver or changing the printer driver settings, see Printing from notebooks and desktops (Windows).
