More About Your Printer
Printing from MS-DOS
A printer driver is a program that allows you to
control print settings from within your word
processor, spreadsheet, or other software
program.
Using the right MS-DOS printer driver
Printer drivers are supplied by the manufacturers
of MS-DOS software programs. Whenever
possible, use the one designed specifically for the
HP DeskJet 610C Series printers. However, if one
isn’t available, you can get satisfactory results
using one of the drivers listed below. If you are
using a program that’s not listed, contact the
manufacturer of the software program to get a
printer driver that is compatible with your new
printer.
