passes data from your applications suitably formatted for the
printer, and also controls a number of printer functions.
Your printer comes with printer drivers for Windows 3.1x,
Windows 95/98,Windows NT4.
If using other operating systems, you could select a printer
driver designed for use with the HP LaserJet

printer, and will make the best use of its features.
