You can obtain Model Scripts for UNIX and Linux by downloading them from the Internet or by requesting them from an HP-authorized service or support provider. You can download the UNIX installers at www.hp.com/support/net_printing.

If the printer driver that you want is not on the printer CD-ROM or it is not listed here, check the installation notes, the readme file, and the late-breaking readme file to see if the printer driver is supported. If it is not supported, contact the manufacturer or distributor of the program that you are using and request a driver for the printer.

Choose the correct printer driver for your needs

Select a printer driver based on the way that you use the printer. Certain printer features are available only in the PCL 6 drivers. See the printer driver Help for available features.

●Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of the printer features. For general office printing, the PCL 6 driver is recommended to provide optimum performance and print quality.

●Use the PCL 5e driver if you need backward compatibility with previous PCL printer drivers or older printers.

●Use the PS driver if you are printing primarily from PostScript-specific programs such as Adobe and Corel, for compatibility with PostScript Level 3 needs, or for PS font DIMM support.

The printer automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages.

Printer driver Help

Each printer driver has help screens that can be activated by clicking the Help button, pressing the F1 key, or clicking the question mark symbol in the upper-right corner in the printer driver (depending on the Windows operating system in use). These help screens give detailed information about the specific driver. Printer driver Help is separate from the software program Help.
