HP LaserJet 8150 Series Printers - Software Technical Reference

Printing system components

CD-ROM browser

In previous versions of the printing system software, you had to locate and run the

SETUP.EXE file, which started the installer. For the Microsoft Windows environment

(Windows 9x, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0), the HP LaserJet 8150

Printing System Installer CD-ROM provides an interactive CD-ROM browser that not only

lets you install the printer drivers and related components, but also provides access to

online product registration, user documentation, a customization utility, Adobe Acrobat

Reader software, and optional HP software.

NOTE: Windows 3.1x is not supported by the HP LaserJet 8150

Printing System CD-ROM browser or printing system

installer. To install the PCL 6, PCL 5e, or PS printer

drivers for Windows 3.1x use the Add Printer function in

the Windows 3.1x Control Panel. The drivers are located

on the software CD-ROM under the following filepath:

X:\ENGLISH\DRIVERS\WIN3X\, where “X:” represents

the letter designating your CD-ROM drive.
