of the following options:
• Select a PPD for a printer with similar features.
• Select a PPD from another folder.
• Select the generic PPD by clicking Use Generic. The generic PPD allows you to print, but
limits your access to printer features.

Renaming the Printer (hp LaserJet 1300 series only)
If you are going to rename the printer, do this before selecting the printer in the Chooser. If you
rename the printer after selecting it in the Chooser, you will have to go back into the Chooser and
reselect it.
Use the Set Printer Name feature in the HP LaserJet Utility to rename the printer.
