Drivers From Disk
This screen lets you install your printer driver from a disk or CD.
Usually, that disk or CD is shipped with your printer (or All-in-One device)
or, you might have stored the printer driver on a disk or CD. It will ask you
for the directory with the INF file that
holds information about your printer driver.
Generally, you can choose from the following printer driver types:
- PCL 5 -- General office Windows printing. Backward compatible with previous PCL versions and older HP LaserJet printers.
- PCL 6 -- Use for printing in all-Windows environments. Provides best overall speed, print quality, and printer feature support.
- Postscript -- For printing with Adobe or other graphics-intensive applications.
- HP Universal Printing PCL 5, PCL 6, or PS -- Provides instant access to virtually any Windows-based HP LaserJet printer or MFP, without downloading separate drivers. The HP Universal Print Driver enables most available features on all of the devices it supports and is available in multiple printer languages (PCL 5, PCL 6, and Postscript).
- Black -- Print in black and white only.
