HP Color LaserJet 3000 Printer - Software Technical Reference

3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows
Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the traditional print drivers for the HP Color LaserJet 3000 in
Windows 98 and Windows Me.
NOTE For a comparison of features between the HP unidrivers and HP traditional print drivers
in various operating systems, see
Driver-feature comparison in various operating systems.
You can control print jobs from several places:
●
the product control panel
●
the software program print dialog box
●
the driver user interface
Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, you can select the
media 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.
When you install the print drivers by using the printing-system installer in Windows 98 or Windows Me,
the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver is installed by default. You can install the HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver
by performing a Custom Installation.
NOTE Windows NT 4.0 does not support the HP Color LaserJet 3000 print drivers, but you can
use print drivers for legacy HP products whose feature sets closely match the
HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer feature set. For instance, you can use the HP Color LaserJet
4650 drivers, but some print-driver features might be missing and color quality might be
compromised. HP does not support the use of any print driver other than the driver that is supplied
for the product. When you install the print drivers in Windows NT 4.0, you must use the Add
Printer installation method to install the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and the HP Traditional
PCL 5 Driver.
This chapter describes the options that are available on each tab of the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver
and HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver Properties print-driver interface. It also shows the tabs that are
available on the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and HP Traditional PCL 5 Driver interface for Windows 98
and Windows Me.
This chapter also describes differences between the HP Traditional PCL 6 Driver and the HP Traditional
PCL 5 Driver.
