HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and

PS Emulation drivers for MS

Windows

Introduction

This STR describes the features of the HP PCL 6 driver, the HP PCL 5 driver, and the

HP Postscript 3 Emulation driver (PS Emulation driver) for Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit),

Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows 2000.

Control print jobs from any of several places:

●

Software-program print-dialog box

●

Print-driver user interface

●

Device control panel (sets defaults, but does not provide access to all settings)

●

HP Web Jetadmin (sets defaults, but does not provide access to all settings)

Generally, for features that are duplicated (for instance, select the paper input tray), settings that are

established in the software program override print-driver settings. Print-driver settings, in turn, override

device control-panel settings.

When installing the print-system software in Windows Vista, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or

Windows Server 2003, the HP PCL 6 driver is installed by default. The HP PCL 5 and

PS Emulation drivers can be installed by performing a Custom Installation.

The following sections describe the options that are available on each tab of the HP PCL 6, PCL 5,

and PS Emulation drivers.

This STR also describes differences between the HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS Emulation drivers. Unless

otherwise noted, the features that are described apply to all three.

Topics:

●

Access to print drivers in Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and

Windows 2000

●

Help system

●

Advanced tab features

●
