Using the Right Printer Driver
This chapter assumes you have an HP LaserJet 4MV printer or that you
have added the PostScript language SIMM to your HP LaserJet 4V printer.
To print in Adobe’s PostScript language you also need the right printer
driver for your software.
Printer Drivers for Macintosh
The HP LaserJet 4MV printer and HP JetDirect network cards come with a
printer driver for Macintosh computers, bitmapped screen fonts and the HP
LaserJet Utility and Guide.
Printer Drivers for Windows
To make full use of your printer’s features, you must use the PostScript
printer driver that came with your printer.
Printer Drivers for DOS Applications
For DOS applications, you must select a PostScript language printer driver
from within your software application. If your software does not include a
PostScript language printer driver selection, it may not support PostScript
printing. For more information on selecting and installing a DOS PostScript
printer driver, see your software documentation or contact your software
vendor.
How Much Memory Do You Need?
The HP LaserJet 4MV printer comes with 4 MBytes of internal memory and
an 8 MByte SIMM for a total of 12 MBytes of memory. If you have the HP
LaserJet 4V printer and are adding PostScript, we recommend that you
install at least 8 MBytes of additional memory and turn I/O Buffering and
Resource Saving to OFF at the control panel.
To use I/O Buffering and Resource Saving, we recommend adding additional
memory beyond 12 MBytes.
