Microsoft Windows 3.1 comes with printer drivers that work with HP
DeskJet printers. However the Microsoft Printer Drivers do not provide
access to many of the more advanced capabilities of HP DeskJet 660Cse
printer.
Only the HP ColorSmart Printer Driver software, part of the HP Printing
System for Windows, takes advantage of all the features of HP DeskJet
660Cse printer.
The HP ColorSmart Printer Driver software is compatible with Microsoft
Windows 3.1. Access to the printer driver to change specific settings is
available from each software application program. The steps to access the
printer driver will vary depending on the software program. Generally, the
printer driver is found under a “print” menu in the software program.
The user can also access the printer driver through the Microsoft Windows
Printers control panel. The control panel allows the user to:
Select the default printer from a list of loaded printer drivers.
Add Microsoft printer drivers.
Remove unneeded printer drivers.
Set various printer options (which may be superseded by the
printer settings selected in the software application program).
Confirm the port which the printer is using.
To open the Printers control panel:
1. Double-click Main in the Program Manager.
2. Double-click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Printers.
The default printer is listed in the text box at the top of the dialog box. To
select a different default printer, double-click a printer from the list of
installed printers.
Although the Printers control panel provides access to various printer
settings, like paper type and page orientation, these settings are
overridden by settings made from within an application. The Printers
control panel settings are used when an application does not specify
certain defaults.
Because the user can connect their printer to either an LPT or COM port, it
is important to make sure the proper port was selected to avoid problems.
The steps below identify how to select/change a printer port from the
control panel.
To select a port:
1. Open the Printers control panel.
2. Click Connect.
3. Select the port from the list.
The default printer name is followed by the name of the port it is connected
to.
