3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows HP traditional print drivers for Windows Introduction This chapter describes the features of the traditional print drivers for the HP Color LaserJet 3800 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 3800 print drivers, but you can use print drivers for legacy HP products whose feature sets closely match the HP Color LaserJet 3800 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. The chapter contains the following sections: ENWW Introduction 95
