Install overview

The software for the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printer comes on a single CD. The software

installer first checks the versions of Windows Installer and Microsoft .NET installed on the system, and

then installs the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printing-system software from the CD onto the hard

disk and updates Windows files.

During the HP Color LaserJet CP1210 Series printing-system installation, the software installer also
