Setting up your printer Task 9: Set up the printer in your application software Task 9: Set up the printer in your application software "Application software" is the software from which you intend to send prints to your printer-for example, a CAD system. What is a driver? Your application software needs to know to which type of printer it is sending information. This knowledge, and other configuration information, is held in a "driver." A driver is a piece of software that handles communications between your application software and a peripheral, in this case a printer. Drivers are usually supplied as part of the application software, but they are also available separately. If they are supplied separately, you need to install them separately. AutoCAD Supplied with the HP DesignJet 430 and DesignJet 450C printers is a pack containing drivers for AutoCAD for DOS and AutoCAD for Windows. Please refer to the documentation supplied with these drivers. Windows applications Supplied with this printer is a pack containing a driver for applications that work with Microsoft Windows. Please refer to the documentation supplied with this driver. Other applications Users of other applications should first check any Software Application Notes supplied with the printer, to see if their application is covered there. For other applications, there is on the next page a general recommendation as to which device to choose when setting up this printer. Device lists are not always up-to-date with the latest printers, and so with some software you may have to choose a printer other than the HP DesignJet 430, 450C or 455CA from the device list. 455CA Supplied with this printer is a pack containing an HP DesignJet 455CA software RIP.

Task 9: Set up the printer in your application software
“Application software” is the software from which you intend to send prints to
your printer—for example, a CAD system.
What is a driver?
Your application software needs to know to which type of printer it is sending
information.
This knowledge, and other configuration information, is held in a
“driver.”
A driver is a piece of software that handles communications between
your application software and a peripheral, in this case a printer.
Drivers are
usually supplied as part of the application software, but they are also available
separately.
If they are supplied separately, you need to install them separately.
AutoCAD
Supplied with the HP DesignJet 430 and DesignJet 450C printers is a pack
containing drivers for AutoCAD for DOS and AutoCAD for Windows.
Please
refer to the documentation supplied with these drivers.
Windows applications
Supplied with this printer is a pack containing a driver for applications that work
with Microsoft Windows.
Please refer to the documentation supplied with this
driver.
Other applications
Users of other applications should first check any
Software Application Notes
supplied with the printer, to see if their application is covered there.
For other applications, there is on the next page a general recommendation as to
which device to choose when setting up this printer.
Device lists are not always
up-to-date with the latest printers, and so with some software you may have to
choose a printer other than the HP DesignJet 430, 450C or 455CA from the device
list.
Supplied with this printer is a pack containing an HP DesignJet 455CA software
RIP.
Please refer to the documentation supplied with this pack.
