Software tips
The following are some tips for working with the printer software.
How do I gain access to the printer features?
The printer features are available in the printer driver. Some features such as custom paper
sizes and page orientation might also be available in the program you are using to create a
file. Change settings in the program, if possible, because changes that are made in the
program override changes that are made in the printer driver.
Gain access to advanced printer features through the printer driver (or the Print dialog box
for Macintosh operating systems). See
Gaining access to printer driver settings for help with
specific printer-driver features.
How do I get the latest printing software?
When you want to check for and install upgrades to the printing software, you can download
drivers from the World Wide Web or HP’s file transfer protocol (FTP) servers.
To download drivers
1. Go to http://www.hp.com . Click the support & drivers block.
2. Type
color laserjet 2550
as the product name. The Web page for the drivers
might be in English, but you can download the drivers themselves in several languages.
If you do not have Internet access, contact HP Customer Care. (See HP customer care or
the flyer that came in the printer box.) See the Readme file for additional release information.
What other software is available?
See the Readme file that is provided on the HP color LaserJet 2550 CD-ROM for additional,
included software and for supported languages.
Software for Windows
When you install the software for Windows, you can directly connect the printer to a
computer by using a USB or parallel cable or , if your printer is network-enabled, you can
connect the printer to the network by using the HP Jetdirect print server. See the getting
started guide for installation instructions, and see the Readme file for the latest software
information.
