HP traditional Postscript 3 Emulation Driver features

When you install the printing-system software in Windows 98 or Windows Me, the

HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver is installed by default. The HP Traditional PCL 5e Driver and the

PS Emulation Driver can be installed by performing a Custom Installation. When you install the print

drivers in Windows NT 4.0, you must use the Add Printer install method to install the PS Emulation

Driver.

Depending on the operating system that you are using when you install the print drivers, different

methods are available to gain access to the print drivers and different print-driver interfaces.

This section describes the options that are available on each tab of the PS Emulation Driver

Document Default interface and on one of the tabs of the PS Emulation Driver Properties

interface. It also shows the tabs that are available on the PS Emulation Driver interface for

Windows 98 and Windows Me.

NOTE The information and illustrations in this section reflect the PS Emulation Driver when

the computer is running Windows NT 4.0. The PS Emulation Driver looks significantly different

for computers that are running Windows 98 and Windows Me.

click Document Defaults to gain access to the same set of driver tabs that the software program

controls. These driver settings change the default settings used across all software programs.

■ Page Setup tab

Storage options are available (Proof and Hold, Private Job, Quick Copy, and Stored

Job). If your HP LaserJet 9050 printer is not equipped with a hard disk drive, but has a

available.
