EPrinting from DOS Applications

Why doesn’t my software program have a printer driver for my HP DeskJet printer?

Most of the software industry is focused on the development of individual software programs that are compatible with Microsoft Windows. Hewlett-Packard uses this common development standard to supply a printer driver for use with all Microsoft Windows-compatible software programs. This is the reason that fewer DOS printer drivers are being developed.

If there is not a DOS printer driver for my HP DeskJet printer, is there another printer driver I can use instead?

Selecting a printer driver for your specific HP DeskJet printer in each DOS software program that you use ensures the best support for your printer. If an HP DeskJet 800 Series printer driver is not available within your software program, HP recommends that you select one of the following printer drivers.
