Installable components This section provides information about the various installable components available either with the HP LaserJet software CD-ROM or from the HP Web site. Printer drivers HP supports the use of older drivers with new printers. Because earlier (legacy) HP LaserJet printers might have different versions of the PCL language, new drivers are not supported with legacy printers. The drivers associated with each printer use the version of PCL language that is installed in the printer. The printing system for the HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 series printers include the following printer drivers. PCL 5e, PCL 6, and PS drivers Note The PCL 5e, PCL 6, and PS drivers are included with the HP LaserJet software CD-ROM. The PCL 5e and PCL 6 drivers feature a graphical user interface that has a shared look and feel. PCL 5e is not supported in Asian languages. If a Typical Installation is chosen during installation of the printing system software, the PCL 6 driver is set as the default driver. All three drivers provide access to the printer paper-handling and print-quality features. Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP driver versions PCL 5e and PCL 6 support for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP operating systems is provided by using the HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 printer drivers for the HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 series printers. For Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 generic printer description (GPD) provides information about printer features for the PCL 5e and PCL6 drivers. The HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 PS printer description (PPD) provides PS feature support for the HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 series products.] You can view the printer driver version number by clicking the HP logo in the lower-left corner of the following HP PCL 5e and PCL 6 printer-driver tabs: • Configure • NT Forms • Finishing • Effects • Paper • Destination • Basics Macintosh and Macintosh-compatible system-driver versions The HP LaserJet printing solution for Macintosh is composed of the Apple LaserWriter driver, which is provided with the operating system, and HP-created PPD files.
