12 Chapter 2 - Software overview ENWW
The HP LaserJet 1010 series printer software includes the following components.
Host-based printing
Host-based printing differs from PCL printing by computing the print job on the host computer,
rather than computing the print job in the formatter as in PCL printing.
PCL printing
Use the PCL 5e printer driver (HP LaserJet 1015 only) if you need print results to look consistent
with those from older HP LaserJet printers. Certain features are not available in this printer driver.
Note Do not use the PCL 5e printer driver for this printer with previous printer models.
