    information.
    The following software is available to all users of the printer, whether you connected the printer

    Printer drivers
    A printer driver is a software component that provides access to printer features and provides the
    means for the computer to communicate with the printer. For help using your printer driver, see
    Gaining access to printer driver settings.
    Select a printer driver based on the way you use the printer.
    ● Use the PCL 6 printer driver to take full advantage of the printer features. Unless complete
    backward compatibility with previous PCL drivers or older printers is necessary, the PCL 6
    driver is recommended.
    ● Use the PostScript (PS) printer driver for com
    patibility with PS needs. Certain printer features
    are not available in this printer driver. The printer automatically switches between PS 3
    emulation and PCL printer languages depending on the driver you have selected.
    Using Help
    The printer driver has  Help dialog boxes that can be activated from the  Help button in the printer
    driver, the  F1 key on the computer keyboard, or the question mark symbol  (?) in the upper-right
    corner of the printer driver. These  Help dialog boxes give detailed information about the specific
    printer driver. Help for the printer driver is separate from the Help for your program.

    network. This browser-based software can be installed on one of the following supported platforms:
    ● Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP
    ● Red Hat Linux
    ● SuSE Linux
    After you install the HP Web Jetadmin software, you can start it in a supported Web browser on any
    computer by typing one of the following Web addresses:
    ● http://server.domain:port/
    where server.domain is the server hostname and port is the port number that you selected
    during installation. (The default port is 8000.) This information is available in the url.txt file, which
    is stored in the folder where HP Web Jetadmin is installed.
    ● http://ipaddress:port/
    where ipaddress is the IP address of the computer on which HP Web Jetadmin is installed.
    For settings that appear in both the printer driver and HP Web Jetadmin, changes that are made in
    the printer driver override changes that are made in HP Web Jetadmin.
