New printing-system software features
The HP Color LaserJet 2600n printing-system software includes new features since the release of
the HP LaserJet 2600 series printer. New features for the HP Color LaserJet 2600n printer includes
the following:
■ New Installer. The HP Color LaserJet 2600n printers include a new Installer that improves the
software installation process and supports either a hardware-first or a software-first installation.
■ Software-first is the recommended installation method.
■ In a hardware-first installation, the HP Color LaserJet 2600n printing-system software uses
two separate installers, which run together to set up the port and the printing-system
software correctly. If you cancel the installation after the hardware-first plug-and-play installer
finishes, your installation consists of the print driver only.
■ HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox. The HP Color LaserJet 2600n printing-system software
includes a Web program that you can use to communicate with and manage your HP Color
LaserJet 2600n printer easily. Use the HP Color LaserJet 2600n Toolbox to monitor the status of
the printer, examine and change printer settings, provide printer alerts, find troubleshooting and
“How Do I” content, and gain access to HP Instant Support.
