Installer features
The common installer is designed to provide a simple and consistent installation method
for the product line. The common installer is available for the Windows 9x, Windows Me,
Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 operating systems.
The HP LaserJet 8150 series printers feature a new common installer. This new installer
offers several improvements over the HP LaserJet 8100 series:
• The HP LaserJet 8150 Printing System Installer CD-ROM features a CD-ROM
browser from which you can install the printing system software, register your HP
LaserJet 8150 series printer, view the user documentation and install Adobe®
Acrobat™ Reader software if necessary, start a customization utility for custom
software installations, or install optional software.
• Installation of Acrobat 4.05.
• The typical installation requires less interaction than previous versions.
• The installer is Web-enabled so you can check the HP Web site for the latest
software components and drivers.
• Network connection is integrated so you can install drivers and connect to a
network printer in a single process.
In addition to these new features, the common installer continues to offer:
• Automatic-sensing of the Windows operating system and language (Windows 95
and 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows Me only). Though
system language is automatically sensed, the installer lets you select from any of
the languages on the HP LaserJet 8150 Printing System Installer CD-ROM.
• Full localization and enabling for double-byte fonts.
• The HP LaserJet Uninstaller utility.
• Product registration using the Web and e-mail.
All of the Windows system components are installed by using the HP LaserJet 8150
printing system installer. The installer automatically senses your native language and
operating system. It offers selections for each printer model. You can select the type of
installation you prefer: typical or custom.
If you have an Internet connection, the installer will sense the connection and provide you
with the capability to connect to the HP Web site to download the latest printing system
software. The installer compares the versions of the software components on the HP
LaserJet 8150 Printing System Installer CD-ROM to those on the HP Web site. If there
are newer versions on the HP Web site, the installer downloads them.
