You can control print jobs from several places:

●The product control panel

●The software program print dialog box

●The driver user interface

Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, you can select the paper input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take precedence over print-driver settings.

When you install the printing-system software in Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft

Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7, the HP Host- based Print Driver is the recommended driver and installs by default from HP Smart Install.
