HP Traditional Postscript 3 Emulation Driver features
When you install the printing-system software in Windows 98 or Windows Me, the HP Traditional
PCL 6 Driver is installed by default. The HP Traditional PCL 5e Driver and the PS Emulation Driver
can be installed by performing a Custom Installation. When you install the print drivers in
Windows NT 4.0, you must use the Add Printer install method to install the PS Emulation Driver.
Depending on the operating system that you are using when you install the print drivers, different
methods are available to gain access to the print drivers and different print-driver interfaces.
This section describes the options that are available on each tab of the PS Emulation Driver
Document Default interface and on one of the tabs of the PS Emulation Driver Properties
interface. It also shows the tabs that are available on the PS Emulation Driver interface for
Windows 98 and Windows Mee.
NOTE The information and illustrations in this section reflect the PS Emulation Driver when
the computer is running Windows NT 4.0. The PS Emulation Driver looks significantly different
for computers that are running Windows 98 and Windows Me.
