HP LaserJet Professional P1100/P1560/P1600 Series Printers - Software Technical Reference

4 HP Host-based print driver for Windows
Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the HP LaserJet Professional P1100/P1560/P1600 Series Printer
Host-based Print Driver for Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit),
Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows 7 (32-bit and
64-bit).
You can control print jobs from several places:
●
The product control panel
●
The software program print dialog box
●
The driver user interface
Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, you can select the
paper input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take precedence
over print-driver settings.
When you install the printing-system software in Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft
Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7, the HP Host-
based Print Driver is the recommended driver and installs by default from HP Smart Install. The HP PCL
5e Universal Print Driver (P1606dn model only) and HP XPS driver can be installed by download from
hp.com.
