Note Note Update Now If you have modified the configuration of the MFP since installation, the driver can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support bidirectional communication. Click the Update Now button to automatically reflect the new configuration in the driver. The Update Now feature is not supported from the client machine in a Point-and-Print environment. Update Now can be used for locally-installed MFPs, and by the Point-and-Print server. HP Driver Preconfiguration HP Driver Preconfiguration is a set of tools that you can use to customize and distribute HP software in managed corporate printing environments. By using HP Driver Preconfiguration, information technology, (IT) administrators can preconfigure the printing and device defaults for HP printer drivers before installing the drivers in the network environment. For more information, see the HP Driver Preconfiguration Support Guide, which is available at www.hp.com/support/ lj9040mfp or www.hp.com/support/lj9050mfp. Drivers Use the printer drivers to gain access to the MFP features and allow the computer to communicate with the MFP (by using a printer language). Check the installation notes, the readme file, and the late-breaking readme file on the CD-ROM for additional software and languages. The following table lists the printer drivers that are included with the MFP. The most recent drivers are available at www.hp.com/support/lj9040mfp or www.hp.com/support/lj9050mfp. (If you do not have access to the Internet, see the HP support flyer.) Depending on the configuration of Windows-based computers, the installation program for the printing system software automatically checks the computer for Internet access in order to obtain the latest drivers. The PCL 5e printer driver for all operating systems, plus the PCL 6 and PS printer drivers for Windows NT 4.0, are available on the CD-ROM. However, these printer drivers are not installed during typical installation. To install one of these drivers, use the Add Printer Wizard.
