MS Windows Printing

The HP DeskJet 670C series printer driver is compatible with MS Windows

3.1x, and MS Windows 95.

Note

Access to the printer driver to change specific settings is available from within each software application program. This is recommended since settings made in the software application can override settings made in the Printers control panel.

Steps to access the printer driver vary depending upon the software application. Generally, the printer driver is accessed from the “File, Print” or “File, Print Setup” in the software program.

You can also access the printer driver through the MS Windows’ Printers control panel to change default settings. The Printers control panel allows you:

Only a printer driver containing the designation “670C” may be used with HP DeskJet 670C series printers. Other HP DeskJet or DeskWriter printer drivers should not be used.

Select the default printer from the list of available printer drivers. Add 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 Set various printer options (which may be superseded by the printer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 that the printer is using.

Although the printer driver provides access to various printer settings, like paper type and page orientation, these settings may be overridden by settings made from the software program. The Printers control panel settings are used when a software program does not specify certain defaults.

Note

Drivers are available for DOS printing, and DOS printing can be accommodated through MS Windows (see “DOS Printer Drivers” that follows).
