Update Now

If you have modified the configuration of the HP LaserJet 9040/9050 printer since installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication. Click the Update Now button to automatically reflect the new configuration in the driver.

The Update Now feature is not supported from the client machine in a Point-and-Print environment. Update Now can be used for locally-installed printers, and by the Point-and-Print server.

HP Driver Preconfiguration

HP Driver Preconfiguration is a set of tools that you can use to customize and distribute

HP software in managed corporate printing environments. By using HP Driver Preconfiguration, information technology, (IT) administrators can preconfigure the printing and device defaults for HP printer drivers before installing the drivers in the network environment. For more information, see the HP Driver Preconfiguration Support Guide, which is available at www.hp.com/support/ lj9050_lj9040.

Printer drivers

Use the printer drivers to gain access to the printer features and allow the computer to communicate with the printer (by using a printer language). Check the installation notes, the readme file, and the late-breaking readme file on the printer CD-ROM for additional software and languages.

The following table lists the printer drivers that are included with the printer. The most recent drivers are available at www.hp.com/support/lj9050_lj9040. (If you do not have access to the Internet, see the HP support flyer.) Depending on the configuration of Windows-based computers, the installation program for the printer software automatically checks the computer for Internet access in order to obtain the latest drivers.

The PCL 5e print driver for all operating systems, plus the PCL 6 and PS drivers for Windows NT 4.0, are available on the CD-ROM. However, these print drivers are not installed during typical installation. To install one of these drivers, use the Add Printer Wizard.

The HP 9050DN Laser Printer, model Q3723A#ABA, is a robust and high-performance printing solution designed for medium to large workgroups. Known for its reliability and exceptional output quality, the HP 9050DN delivers crisp and professional documents, making it an ideal choice for businesses with demanding printing needs.

One of the standout features of the HP 9050DN is its impressive printing speed. Capable of producing up to 55 pages per minute, this printer significantly enhances productivity, allowing teams to complete print jobs quickly. The first page out time is remarkably fast, typically around 8 seconds for monochrome prints, ensuring that users can access their documents without long waiting times.

The printer supports various media sizes and types, accommodating everything from standard letter-sized paper to legal and A3 formats. This versatility is complemented by a high paper capacity. The HP 9050DN comes with a standard input tray that holds up to 500 sheets, with the option to expand through additional trays, allowing for efficient high-volume printing without frequent paper replacement.

In terms of print quality, the HP 9050DN utilizes advanced laser technology, which produces sharp text and intricate graphics with a resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. This ensures that documents maintain a professional appearance, crucial for business correspondence and presentations.

For those considering alternatives in the HP Laser series, the 9050n and 9040 models are noteworthy mentions.
