Printing from DOS Applications
While your HP DeskJet printer is primarily a Windows printer, you can also print
from a DOS software program.
There are two different ways that you can control print settings when you are
getting ready to print a document: the HP DeskJet Control Panel for DOS and DOS
printer drivers. Both of these are described in the following pages.

About the HP DeskJet Control Panel for DOS
DOS users have access to many printer features through specific DOS printer
drivers; however, many software manufacturers do not develop printer drivers for
their software programs. The HP DeskJet printers provide their own DOS software
control panel for improved printer control when DOS printer drivers are not
available or when certain print settings are not available through DOS software
programs.
Note:
The HP DeskJet Control Panel for DOS is not a printer driver. It should
be used to set print settings that are not available through DOS software
programs. Printer drivers are supplied by the manufacturers of your DOS
software programs. If your DOS software program does not include a printer
driver for the HP DeskJet printers, contact the manufacturer of the software
program or use one of the alternate printer drivers.
