Printer drivers and software
The printer drivers that are provided on the CD-ROM must be installed in order to take full
advantage of the printer features. The other software programs on the CD-ROM are
recommended but are not required for operation. See the Readme file on the CD-ROM for
more information.
The CD-ROM includes software that is designed for end users and for network
administrators that are using the following operating systems:
● Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me
● Windows 2000 and Windows XP
● Mac OS 7.5 or later
● Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x
● Mac OS X (10.1 or later)
The most recent printing system software and other software utilities are available from the
Internet. See www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin
for more information.

Select the correct printer driver for your needs
● Use the PCL 6 printer driver to take full advantage of the printer features. Use of the
PCL 6 printer driver is recommended unless backward compatibility with previous PCL
printer drivers or older printers is necessary.
● Use the PS printer driver for compatibility with HP postscript 3 emulation needs or for
PS font dual inline memory module (DIMM) support.
● Use the PCL 5c printer driver if you want printed results to look comparable to those
from legacy printers.
Note The printer automatically switches between PostScript (PS) and Printer Control Language
(PCL) printer languages.
Printer-driver help
Each printer driver has context-sensitive help screens that can be activated from the Help
button, the F1 key, or the question mark symbol in the upper-right corner in the printer
driver (depending on the Windows operating system that is running). These help screens
give detailed information about the specific printer driver and the task you are performing.
Printer-driver help is separate from the software-program help.
