HP Driver Preconfiguration

HP Driver Preconfiguration is a software architecture and set of tools that allows HP
software to be customized and distributed in managed corporate printing environments.
Using HP Driver Preconfiguration, information technology (IT) administrators can
preconfigure the printing and device defaults for HP printer drivers before installing the
drivers in the network environment. For more information, see the HP Driver
Preconfiguration Support Guide
, which is available at

Printer drivers

Printer drivers allow you to gain access to the printer features and allow the computer to
communicate with the printer (using a printer language). Check the installation notes and
readme files on the printer CD-ROM for additional software and languages.

The following printer drivers are included with the printer. The most recent drivers are
available at

http://www.hp.com/support/lj4650

. Depending on the configuration of Windows-

based computers, the installation program for the printer software automatically checks the
computer for Internet access to obtain the latest drivers.

You can obtain Model Scripts for UNIX® and Linux by downloading them from the Internet or
by requesting them from an HP-authorized service or support provider. See the support flyer
that came in the printer box.

OS/2 drivers are available from IBM and are packaged with OS/2.

Note

If the printer driver you want is not on the printer CD-ROM or is not listed here, check the
installation notes and Readme files to see if the printer driver is supported. If it is not
supported, contact the manufacturer or distributor of the program you are using and request
a driver for the printer.
