HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows
Introduction
You can change the print job settings through the product control panel, the software program, or the
print driver.
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. Print driver settings, in turn, override product control-panel
settings.
Access print drivers
Depending on the operating system on which you are installing the print drivers, you can gain access
to the print drivers and different print-driver interfaces in several ways.
