Create and use watermarks.

Specify text to be placed in the background

of an existing document. For example, you might want to have “draft” or
“confidential” placed diagonally across the first page or all pages of a
document. (The Watermark feature is only available in Windows.)

Enhance pictures.

Use the

HP Digital Photography

feature to enhance

the look of your printed pictures. You can adjust contrast enhancement,
digital flash, SmartFocus, sharpness, and smoothing settings to meet your
printing needs. This dialog box is accessible in Best and Normal modes.

Printing from notebooks and desktops (Windows)

From Windows, you can print via USB, parallel, infrared and Bluetooth.

The printer driver stores the default print settings for most applications. You
need to change these settings when you print on media of different sizes or
types, or when you want to use an optional feature like two-sided printing.

You can change print settings from the software application that the document
was created in. To change the default print settings for all documents, you must
do so from the printer driver.
