Step 14 Install Printing Software
The printer comes with printing software on a compact disc. The
printer drivers on this compact disc must be installed to take full
advantage of the printer features. If your computer does not have a
CD-ROM drive, but you have access to one, you can copy the printing
software from the compact disc onto diskettes for installation on your
computer.
If you do not have access to a CD-ROM drive, a diskette is provided
with the basic printer drivers. (The diskette does not have all of the
software available on the compact disc.) The most recent drivers are
available on the Internet. Depending on the configuration of Windowsdriven computers, the installation program for the printer software
automatically checks the computer for Internet access to obtain the
latest software.
See the HP Support pages at the front of the printer user guide and
the Readme file on the diskette for additional information or to order
diskettes if you do not have Internet access.
