with the printer (by using a printer language).  Check the install notes, Readme, and late-
breaking Readme files on the printer CD-ROM for additional software and \
languages.
The following printer drivers are included with the printer. The most recent drivers are
available at  http://www.hp.com/go/lj4250_software  or http://www.hp.com/go/lj4350_software .
Depending on the configuration of Windows-based computers, the installation program for
the printer software automatically checks the computer  for Internet access to obtain the
latest drivers.

NOTE
If your system did not automatically check the  Internet for the latest drivers during software
installation, download them from  http://www.hp.com/go/lj4250_software  or http://www.hp.com/
go/lj4350_software . After you are connected, click  Downloads and Drivers to find the driver
that you want to download.
You can obtain Model Scripts for UNIX and Linux by downloading them from the Internet or
by requesting them from an HP-authorized service or support provider. For Linux support
see  http://www.hp.com/go/linux . For UNIX support see http://www.hp.com/go/
jetdirectunix_software . For additional information see the support flyer that came in the
printer box.
NOTE
If the printer driver that you want  is not on the printer CD-ROM or is not listed here, check
the install notes, Readme, and late-breaking Readme files to see if the printer driver is
supported. If it is not supported, contact the manufacturer or distributor of the program that
you are using and request a driver for the printer.
Additional drivers
The following drivers are not included on the CD-ROM, but are available from the Internet.
● OS/2 PCL 5 or PCL 6 printer driver.
● OS/2 PS printer driver.
● UNIX model scripts.
● Linux drivers.
● HP OpenVMS drivers.
ENWW Software27
 
						

							NOTEThe OS/2 drivers are available from IBM and are packaged with OS/2. They are not
available for Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or Traditional Chinese.
Select the correct printer driver for your needs
Select a printer driver based on the way that you use the printer. Certain printer features are
available only in the PCL 6 drivers. See the printer driver Help for available features.
● Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of printer features. For general office
printing, the PCL 6 driver is recommended to provide optimum performance and print
quality.
● Use the PCL 5 driver if backward compatibility  with previous PCL printer drivers or older
printers is necessary.
● Use the PS driver if you are printing primarily from PostScript-specific programs such as
Adobe
® and Corel, for compatibility with PostScript Level 3 needs, or for PS
CompactFlash font support.
NOTE
The printer automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages.
Printer driver Help
Each printer driver has Help screens that can be activated by using the Help button, the F1
button on the computer keyboard, or a question-mark symbol in the upper-right c\
orner of the
printer driver (depending on the Windows operating system that you are using). You can
also open printer-driver Help by right-clicking any item in the driver, and then clicking  Whats
This?  These Help screens give detailed information about the specific driver. Printer driver
Help is separate from your program Help.
