To install the printing software

3From Program Manager, select File.

4From the File menu, choose Run.

5Type A:\setup.

6Press ENTER or click OK. The setup program will begin.

7Follow the instructions as they appear on the screen.

During installation, a dialog box will appear that asks whether you would like a typical or custom installation. If you select typical, the installer automatically selects and installs the appropriate driver, depending on your system. If you select custom, a dialog box will ask you which driver and what components you would like to install.

As part of the installation process, the software creates groups within Program Manager for the driver that was installed. You will find a group entitled either HP LaserJet 5L Printer or HP LaserJet 5L PCL Printer, depending upon which driver was installed.

To Verify Printer Drivers

If you have installed multiple printer drivers, you may want to verify which printer driver you are currently running. To verify your printer driver from Program Manager, select Control Panel, Printers, Setup, About.

Host-Based Printer Driver

The host-based software included with the HP LaserJet 5L is a single application that combines the functions of a printer driver, printer formatter, and status window. This software uses your PC’s resources, rather than the printer’s resources, to process printer data. Your PC converts data into raster scan line data and sends the raster data to the printer. This process happens real-time, which speeds up the printing process.
