If your system did not automatically check the Internet for the latest drivers during software installation, you can download the latest drivers from www.hp.com/support/lj9040mfp or www.hp.com/support/lj9050mfp. After you are connected, click Downloads and Drivers to find the driver that you want to download.

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 CD-ROM or it is not listed in this section, 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 MFP.

Additional drivers

The following drivers are not included on the CD-ROM, but are available from the Internet or from HP Customer Care.

●OS/2 PCL 5e/6 printer driver

●OS/2 PS printer driver

●UNIX model scripts

●Linux drivers

●HP OpenVMS drivers

The OS/2 drivers are available from IBM and are packaged with OS/2. They are not available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, or Japanese.

The HP OpenVMS drivers are available at h71000.www7.hp.com.

Choose the correct printer driver for your needs

Choose a printer driver based on the way that you use the MFP. Certain MFP 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 MFP 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 products.

●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 MFP 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.
