Printer drivers
The product comes with software that allows the computer to communicate with the product (by using
a printer language). This software is called a printer driver. Printer drivers provide access to product
features, such as printing on custom-sized paper, resizing documents, and inserting watermarks.
Supported printer drivers
The following printer drivers are provided for the product. If the printer driver that you want is not on the
product CD-ROM or is not available at
http://www.hp.com, contact the manufacturer or distributor of the
program that you are using, and request a driver for the product.
NOTE The most recent drivers are available at http://www.hp.com/go/ljcp4005_software.
Depending on the configuration of Windows-based computers, the installation program for the
product software automatically checks the computer for Internet access in order to obtain the
latest drivers.
NOTE For Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, the HP Color LaserJet
CP4005 Series printers include a monochrome PCL 6 driver that can be installed for users who
will be printing only black-and-white print jobs.
