Software for MS Windows
Your printer comes with the HP LaserJet 5/5M Printing System for
Microsoft Windows. If you have set up your printer correctly, you have
already used the auto-installation setup program to load the following:
• MS Windows Printer Drivers
• Status Utilities
• Fonts
• Network Management Utilities
MS Windows Printer Drivers
The printer drivers enable your MS Windows applications to communicate
with your printer and use all of your printer’s features. Once you load the
MS Windows drivers, you can reach them from the Print dialog box in any
MS Windows application. This is usually accessed from the Printer Setup
or Printer Options selection, however, each application may be different.
The MS Windows Printer Drivers work in the MS Windows 3.1, 3.11,
MS Windows for Workgroups and MS Windows 95 environments.
Note
Each driver has screen helps which can be activated from the Help
button on each property sheet on the printer driver. These help screens
can give detailed information about the specific driver you are using.
These driver helps are separate from your software application’s screen
helps. You will know that you are in an HP printer driver if the HP logo
is on the bottom of the window.
HP LaserJet 5/5M - Standard
The standard driver provides full backward compatibility for LaserJet
printers. This allows you to print documents created with other HP
drivers and ensure that the output will be similar. This driver can be
selected in the Printers settings window located in the MS Windows
Control Panel.
