HP DeskJet Control Panel for DOS
The DeskJet Control Panel for DOS is software that replaces the front
panel switches found on older printers. The HP Control Panel for DOS
does not replace printer drivers; it must be used along with DOS software
printer drivers. When there is no specific HP DeskJet 690C series printer
driver available for an application, the HP Control Panel gives the user
access to print settings and features not available through the DOS
application. If settings are available in the DOS application printer driver
and the DOS Control Panel, the settings made in the DOS application
override those made in the HP Control Panel for DOS.
The HP Control Panel for DOS also lets the user monitor the printer’s
status, and clean and align the print cartridges.

DOS version 3.3 (or newer)
