2Software overview

The HP LaserJet 1010 series printers deliver LaserJet printing through a direct (local) universal
serial bus (USB) (or a parallel port on the HP LaserJet 1015). Network connections are supported
for the 1012 and 1015 models only via HP Jetdirect devices.

The printer comes with software for the following operating systems:

! Windows 95 (HP LaserJet 1015 only, printer driver only, not USB compatible)
! Windows 98 first edition (printer driver only)
! Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)
! Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 3 or higher, HP LaserJet 1015 only, printer driver only, not

USB compatible)

! Windows Me
! Windows 2000
! Windows XP (32-bit)
! Mac OS 9.x (v 9.1 and higher)
! Mac OS X v10.1 and v10.2 (Apple encourages OS X v10.0 users to upgrade to v10.1)
! Linux and Unix (drivers for the HP LaserJet 1015 are available on the web at http://

www.linuxprinting.org)

! DOS is supported only by the HP LaserJet 1015

The most recent printer drivers, additional printer drivers, and other software and documentation
are available from http://www.hp.com/support/lj1010. Not all software is available in all languages.
See the Late-breaking Readme document for the latest software information.

Note Linux drivers for the HP LaserJet 1015 are supported by the Linux community. See http://

www.linuxprinting.org for more information.

Note Unix drivers are model scripts. See http://www.hp.com/go/unixmodelscripts for more information.

Note HP does not support networking for the 1010 model, even through HP Jetdirect devices.

Note Because the 1010 and 1012 models have no parallel port, they are not usable with DOS, Windows

95, 98 (first edition), or NT. These operating systems do not support USB connections.

Host-based printing

Host-based printing differs from PCL printing by computing the print job on the host computer,
rather than computing the print job in the formatter as in PCL printing.

PCL printing

Use the PCL 5e printer driver (HP LaserJet 1015 only) if you need print results to look consistent
with those from older HP LaserJet printers. Certain features are not available in this printer driver.

Note Do not use the PCL 5e printer driver for this printer with previous printer models.

3Product requirements

This section lists the supporting operating systems and configurations for the HP LaserJet 1010
series software, and the requirements needed to run the software on a network.

Supported platforms

For easy printer setup and access to the full range of printer features, HP strongly recommends
that you install the software provided. Not all software is available in all languages. Install the
software before setting up the printer. See the Readme for the latest software information.

The most recent printer drivers, additional printer drivers, and other software are available from
www.hp.com\support\lj1010 and HP Software Fulfillment.

ENWW Product requirements 19

Supported configurations

Direct (local) connections

The HP LaserJet 1010 series printer is connected directly to the host computer with Universal
Serial Bus (USB) cable or a parallel (HP LaserJet 1015 only) cable. In this configuration, the
printer is not shared; a single user has complete physical control over the printer. Most users are
familiar with using peripherals that are directly connected to their computers. A user can gain
access to all of the capabilities of the printer in this configuration.

Network connections

The HP LaserJet 1010 series printer also supports network connections with an HP Jetdirect print
server. This print server is optional for the HP LaserJet 1010 series printer.

Wireless connections

The HP LaserJet 1010 series printer models also support the IEEE 802.11b standard for wireless
networking and Bluetooth™ wireless connectivity options. The available HP Jetdirect wireless
print servers and HP Bluetooth printer adapters attach on the back of the printer to either the USB
or parallel port.

IEEE 802.11b standard

With the wireless HP Jetdirect 802.11b print server, HP peripherals can be placed anywhere in the
office or home and connected to a wireless network running Microsoft, Apple, Netware, UNIX, or
Linux network operating systems. This wireless technology provides a high-quality printing
solution without the physical constraints of wiring. Data transmission rates vary according to
system architecture and distance from the access point.

Use the HP Install Network Printer Wizard to install the network software.

Note HP Jetdirect 802.11b print servers are available for USB and parallel connections.

20 Chapter 3 - Product requirements ENWW

Installing the HP LaserJet 1010

4

Note HP recommends installing the HP LaserJet 1010 series software before connecting the printer to

series software

the computer. Wait for the prompt to connect the printer.

Overview of software installation

This section provides information for installing the HP LaserJet 1010 series printing system
software using Windows and Macintosh operating systems. See page 9 for a list of the operating
systems supported by printer software.

The HP LaserJet 1010 series software is shipped on one CD-ROM. On Windows systems, the
Setup program installs the HP LaserJet 1010 series software from the CD-ROM to the hard disk
and updates Windows files. On Mac OS systems, the HP LaserJet 1010 series Installer program
installs the HP LaserJet 1010 series software from the CD-ROM to the hard disk.

On installation, you are presented with the following options:

! Typical installation (installs all of the basic components in the default locations)
! Custom installation (allows you to specify components and locations for installation)

On Mac OS systems, the HP LaserJet 1010 series printers use the HP LaserJet 1010 Installer.
Also, printer software will only install on the current system startup drive that contains the active
System folder.

Note Moving the HP LaserJet Software folder after installation may cause the program not to work.

On all of the supported platforms, each install option presents you with a series of query dialog
boxes that guide you through the installation. The Installer will guide you through the installation,
whether you are configuring a directly-connected or networked HP LaserJet 1010 series printer.

The installer has the ability to detect hardware and network connections and help guide the
installation. For instance, if the installer detects an HP LaserJet 1010 series printer, it can
automatically configure the software’s connection to that printer. This saves the user several
steps.
