Installing the printing system software
The printer comes with printing system software and printer drivers on a CD-ROM. The
printing system software on the CD-ROM must be installed in order to take full advantage of
the printer features.
If you do not have access to a CD-ROM drive, you can download the printing system
software from the Internet at
http://www.hp.com/go/lj4250_software or http://www.hp.com/go/
lj4350_software .
NOTE Sample model scripts for UNIX (HP-UX ® , Sun Solaris) and Linux networks are available for
download from the World Wide Web. For Linux support see http://www.hp.com/go/linux . For
UNIX support see http://www.hp.com/go/jetdirectunix_software .
You can download the latest software free of charge at http://www.hp.com/go/
lj4250_software or http://www.hp.com/go/lj4350_software .
After you have followed the installation instructions and loaded the software, see Using
printer-driver features to get the most out of your printer.
Printer driver Help
Each printer driver has Help screens that can be activated by using either the Help button,
the
F1 button on the computer keyboard, or a question-mark symbol in the upper-right
corner of the printer driver (depending on the Windows operating system that you are using).
These Help screens give detailed information about the specific driver. Printer driver Help is
separate from your program Help.
