New printing-system software features
The HP Color LaserJet 1600 printing-system software includes new features since the release of the
HP LaserJet 2550 series printer. New features for the HP Color LaserJet 1600 printer includes the
following:
● New Installer. The HP Color LaserJet 1600 printers include a new Installer that improves the
software installation process and supports either a hardware-first or a software-first installation.
● Software-first is the recommended installation method.
● In a hardware-first installation, the HP Color LaserJet 1600 printing-system software uses two
separate installers, which run together to set up the port and the printing-system software
correctly. If you cancel the installation after the hardware-first plug-and-play installer finishes,
your installation consists of the print driver only.
● HP Color LaserJet 1600 Toolbox. The HP Color LaserJet 1600 printing-system software includes
a Web program that you can use to communicate with and manage your HP Color LaserJet 1600
printer easily. Use the HP Color LaserJet 1600 Toolbox to monitor the status of the printer, examine
and change printer settings, provide printer alerts, find troubleshooting and “How Do I” content,
and gain access to HP Instant Support.
