On the HP Point of Sale units with Windows operating system, the drivers for Windows
device manager are installed on the image from the HP factory. When the printer is
attached to the unit via the powered USB connection, Windows will load the drivers for
the HP POS printer.
If the Windows USB drivers are needed for Device Manager when the printer is in native
mode, they can be found on HP.COM.
The following is showing what appears in Windows Device Manager after the driver has
been loaded for the printer in NATIVE mode (native mode is only supported in XP based
operating system – WePOS / POSReady 2009 / Windows XP Professional):
