HP LaserJet print drivers
HP LaserJet print drivers for the HP LaserJet 9055/9065mfp control the print settings. These
print drivers differ, depending on the operating system (OS) environment. The following
drivers are available on the printing-system software CD-ROM:
● HP traditional printer command language (PCL) 6 driver for Windows 98, Windows Me,
and Windows NT 4.0
● HP traditional PostScript(R) 3 emulation (PS) driver for Windows 98, Windows Me, and
Windows NT 4.0
● HP PCL 6 unidriver for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003
● HP PS unidriver for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003
● Mac PostScript printer descriptions (PPDs) for Mac 9.x and Mac OS X (10.1 or later)
● UNIX Model Script
● Linux print drivers and model script
You gain access to the drivers through onscreen windows, or driver tabs, that offer dialog boxes
with print settings. The driver tabs are available in the software application that you use to send
your print jobs to the MFP and from your computer control panel.
The graphical user interface (GUI) of the driver tabs might differ from driver to driver. The print
driver for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 is the new HP unidriver, with
a user interface look and feel that is consistent across the PCL 6 and PS drivers. The print
drivers for Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0 are the HP traditional PCL 6 driver
and the HP traditional PS driver.

Driver Configuration
The HP LaserJet 9055/9065mfp drivers feature bidirectional communication technology which, in
supported environments, provides automatic discovery and driver configuration for MFP
accessories. Some accessories that are automatically discovered and configured are the
optional 4,000-sheet tray (tray 5), the HP Multifunction Finisher, the HP Post Insertion Kit, and
the HP Hole Punch Kit.
Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the
following circumstances:
● Upon first installation of a driver, using Enterprise Autoconfiguration (EAC)
● When you use the Update Now feature for a driver that is already installed
Bidirectional communication
In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the
MFP during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the driver
accordingly.
26 Technology background information EN
Bidirectional communication is the MFP capability to respond to data inquiries from the computer
and report back information, such as what type of print media is available or what accessories
are connected to the MFP. If the connection does not have this capability (that is, if it has no
bidirectional mode), it can only accept commands from the host and cannot report back
information to the host computer.
Bidirectional communication depends on your network operating system and on the type of
connection you have between your computer and your MFP.
When you install HP Toolbox, bidirectional communication is always enabled. Installing HP
Toolbox activates the HP Network Registry Agent (HPNRA) to ensure constant
communication between your computer and the MFP. When you install a driver without
installing HP Toolbox at the same time, bidirectional communication is enabled only to
configure the driver, and is then disabled unless the driver's Update Now feature is used to
update the driver.
Enterprise AutoConfiguration
Enterprise AutoConfiguration (EAC) uses bidirectional communication to provide
autoconfiguration functionality for installation of the print driver over a network, whether you
use the installer on your print-system software CD-ROM or the Add Printer wizard to install
the driver. Driver installation that includes EAC is configured with the same settings as the
physical configuration of the device. Configuration occurs without user interaction. If
bidirectional-communication software has been installed previously, EAC is not activated,
and the the pre-existing bidirectional-communication software is used to configure the print
driver.
Note
If bidirectional communication software has not been installed, EAC installs bidirectionalcommunication software that allows it to communicate with the MFP and automatically
match the print driver with the actual MFP configuration. EAC is activated during installation
of the driver or whenever the Update Now feature is used.
If the configuration of the HP LaserJet 9055/9065mfp changes after installation, the driver
can be automatically updated with the new configuration in environments that support
bidirectional communication by using the Update Now feature. For example, if the HP
LaserJet 9065mfp is installed and an optional paper-handling accessory is added later, you
can use the Update Now feature to query the MFP and update the settings to match the
MFP's configuration.
The Update Now feature triggers the driver to recheck the registry for new information. The
feature automatically updates the registry and changes the configuration information that
appears on the Configure tab if you are using a traditional HP PCL driver, and on the
Device Settings tab if you are using an HP PCL or PS unidriver.
If you are using an HP PCL or PS unidriver, you must select Update Now through the
Automatic Configuration setting in the HP PS or PCL unidriver's Device Settings tab. If
you are using an HP traditional PCL 6 driver, you must click the Update Now button on the
Configure tab. The Update Now feature is not available with the HP traditional PS driver.
The following tables show the availability of Enterprise Autoconfiguration for various
operating systems and network environments that support bidirectional communication.

HP Driver Preconfiguration
HP Driver Preconfiguration is most beneficial when configuring print drivers for multiple
workstations or print servers for print queues that share the same configuration. Two types of
features can be configured: device settings and printing preferences settings. The driver is
configured to match the MFP hardware so that gaining access to all of the MFP accessories
through the driver is enabled correctly (for example, for duplexing units and additional input
trays). Most driver feature settings can also be configured.
HP Preconfiguration configures the driver to match the accessories installed on the MFP, or to
match the settings made by IT administrators in the configuration (.CFG) file (for example,
optional trays, total amount of memory, job storage settings, mopier settings).
The preconfiguration process consists of three basic steps: driver acquisition, driver
preconfiguration, and driver installation and deployment. These steps can be accomplished in
different ways, depending on the tool that is being used to define the configuration.
The configuration process for driver preconfiguration is supported through three distinct tools. All
three are designed with the same basic UI controls for interacting with the configuration (.CFG)
file, but are packaged differently, either to support established MFP installation workflows or to
leave the deployment and installation of the driver entirely up to the user. These tools are:
● HP Driver Configuration Editor. The HP Driver Configuration Editor is a small standalone
Windows application that the administrator can use to open the .CFG file associated with a
particular driver and make modifications that are applied when that driver is installed on the
target computer. It is intended for use in environments where there is an established
process for deploying drivers. To support any Novell or HP Print Server Appliance (PSA)
Point and Print environments, this is the preconfiguration tool of choice. It is used in the
way that any ordinary Windows application is used.
● The HP Web Jetadmin Driver Configuration Plugin. HP Web JetAdmin provides a
queue creation application that can be used to create printers on any Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003 server or workstation. The HP Web
JetAdmin Driver Configuration Plugin adds a number of screens to the existing queue
creation workflow from which the drivers that are being installed for the queues can be
customized as part of the process. The plug-in is limited to Internet Explorer browsers.
Netscape Navigator (TM) is not supported.
● HP Customization Utility/Silent Installer. The Customization Utility features an install-
time mode of HP Driver Preconfiguration. IT administrators can use the utility to
preconfigure the drivers for a printing-system software driver installation with the silent
installer.
Lockable features
The following driver features can be locked to prevent end-users from changing settings:
● Print on Both Sides (Duplex)
● Media Type
● Paper Source
● Output Bin
When a feature is locked, the selected default option is the only option that is available to users.
Generally, the feature is simply disabled in the driver UI after it has been installed.
30 HP Driver Preconfiguration EN
Continuous export
The term "continuous export" refers to the ability of the driver to copy the last set of driver
settings back to the working copy of the preconfiguration file. Using this feature, the exported
values can be applied when a compatible version of the driver is used to upgrade the print
driver. For instance, if orientation is set to "Landscape" in an installed version of the HP
LaserJet 9055/9065mfp PCL 6 driver for Windows NT 4.0, then the orientation setting in the
newly upgraded HP LaserJet 9055/9065mfp PCL 6 driver for Windows XP and Windows
Server 2003 is automatically set to "Landscape." The continuous export feature functions
transparently from the user's perspective and works only between drivers from identical
models.
Note
Not all of the driver parameters can be exported; however, the list is always the same for
those that can be preconfigured.

Preconfiguration.

HP Embedded Web Server
The HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) is a standard feature for the HP LaserJet
9055/9065mfp.
The EWS provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one product management. In
offices that have a limited number of products, remote management of printing devices can
be accomplished without installing any management software, such as HP Web Jetadmin.
The only requirement is that the management console have a supported Web browser.
EN Chapter 2 Software description 31
In environments with a larger number of products, where one-to-one management is
impractical, the HP Embedded Web Server and HP Web Jetadmin work together to provide
scalable remote product management. Use HP Web Jetadmin for consolidated management
tasks, when you want to perform operations on a selected set of products instead of on
individual products. For such environments, HP provides hooks between the HP Embedded
Web Server and HP Web Jetadmin so that you can configure HP Embedded Web Server
features on multiple products in one operation. For example, you can set the security
password for the HP Embedded Web Server simultaneously on a population of products.
For additional information and a copy of the HP Embedded Web Server User Guide, go to:
http://www.hp.com/support/lj9055mfp or http://www.hp.com/support/lj9065mfp.
To view information about the MFP by using the HP Embedded Web Server, open a supported
Web browser and type in the MFP transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP)
address or host name. To find the TCP/IP address, look for IP Address on the enhanced input/
output (EIO) Jetdirect page, in the TCP/IP section. To find the host name of the MFP, look for
Host Name in the TCP/IP section.
You also can view information about an installed HP Jetdirect print server by clicking the
Networking tab in the HP Embedded Web Server window.
To print a copy of the EIO Jetdirect page from the control panel display, follow these steps:
1 Press the Mode selection button until the light comes on next to Print. (The Mode selection
key has two arrows pointing in a circular direction.)
2 Touch MENUS.
3 Touch INFORMATION.
4 Touch PRINT CONFIGURATION.
5 Look in the configuration page section marked "Printer Information" for the firmware date
code. The firmware date code looks something like this: 20031002 07.000.0. (The EIO
Jetdirect page is the second page of the Configuration Page printout.)
The EWS frame
Each page in the EWS has a frame with a top banner, two category tabs, a left-aligned
navigation menu bar, and a main-content area. Selecting one of the category tabs causes the
corresponding left-aligned navigation bar to appear. The left-aligned navigation menu includes

Note
Set up Status Alerts page
The Set up Status Alerts page provides radio buttons to turn status alerts on or off. When
you turn on alerts, you can then select the check boxes in the Show alert when: category to
generate alerts when different events occur with the MFP. The following events can be
selected to generate alerts:
● Printer (MFP) cannot print (e.g. paper out)
● HP supply needs to be ordered (for example, when the toner is low)
● Warning (device has an error but can continue)
HP Toolbox is an end-user utility for viewing product status. Accordingly, this page can be
used to turn alerts on and off, to determine the conditions in which alerts appear, and to
select the format in which they appear. To configure the alerts themselves, use the HP
Embedded Web Server.
Use the check boxes in the Show alerts as: category to select the type of alert notification
that will occur at the computer when an alert is received. The following types of alert
notifications are available:
● Pop-up message
● System tray icon

Figure 2-9. Administrative Settings page
The Administrative Settings page provides radio buttons to adjust the status check rate, which
is how often the MFP is checked for alerts. The following rates can be selected:
● Less Often. This rate reduces input/output (I/O) traffic, but can cause some alerts to be
delayed.
● Normal. This is the default rate setting.
● More Often. This rate provides the fastest alert notification, but causes more I/O traffic.
Euro character
The euro is the name for the currency of the European Union (EU). This unit was launched on
January 1, 1999. The euro has changed the way business is conducted in Europe and has
affected every company and industry in the world. It is vital that companies understand and
prepare for the changes the euro brings.
46 Euro character EN
This HP LaserJet 9055/9065mfp includes euro characters for each of the internal fonts. The
MFP can print the euro character in the Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Hewlett-Packard is
committed to maximizing document portability through supporting and promoting euro-symbol
standards.
Remote firmware update
The HP LaserJet 9055/9065mfp features a remote firmware update capability. The method
for downloading remote firmware updates from the Web site is similar to that used to
download the latest printing-system software and print drivers.
The process for remotely upgrading MFP firmware involves three steps:
1 Determine the current level of firmware installed on the HP LaserJet 9055/9065mfp.
2 Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to your computer.
3 Download the new firmware to the MFP.
Determining the current level of firmware
To determine the current level of firmware, view the configuration page. To print a
configuration page, follow these instructions.
Note
1 Press the Mode selection button until the light comes on next to Print. (The Mode
selection key has two arrows pointing in a circular direction.)
2 Touch MENUS.
3 Touch INFORMATION.
4 Touch PRINT CONFIGURATION.
5 Look in the configuration page section marked "Printer Information" for the firmware
date code. The firmware date code looks something like this: 20031002 07.000.0.
Downloading the new firmware from the HP Web site
For support information about downloading new firmware from the Web, go to
http://www.hp.com/support/lj9055mfp_firmware or http://www.hp.com/support/
lj9065mfp_firmware.
The MFP can receive an .RFU update to a MFP as long as it is in a READY state. The MFP
waits for all of the I/O channels to become idle before performing the update.
If the firmware update involves a change in the format of nonvolatile random-access memory
(NVRAM), any menu settings that are changed from the default settings return to default
settings. The settings must be changed again if you want them to be different from the
defaults. Examples of settings that are affected in this way are tray types, default symbol
sets, and Web access alerts.
EN Chapter 2 Software description 47
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time, as well as the time that it
takes for the MFP to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depends on a number of things,
including the speed of the host computer that is sending the update and the I/O method
(parallel or network). The reinitialization time depends on the specific hardware configuration
of the MFP, such as the number of EIO devices installed, the presence of external paperhandling devices, and the amount of memory installed.
If the remote firmware update process is interrupted before the firmware is downloaded (while
RECEIVING UPGRADE appears on the control panel display), the firmware file must be sent
again. If power is lost during the flash dual inline memory module (DIMM) update (while
UPGRADING PRINTER appears on the control panel display), the update is interrupted and the
message RESEND UPGRADE appears (in English only) on the control panel display. The
update must now be sent only by a computer that is attached to the parallel port of the MFP.
Finally, any print jobs ahead of the .RFU job in the queue are printed before the update is
processed.
Use one of the following methods to update your MFP.

HP traditional print drivers
3
for Windows
Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the the HP LaserJet 9055/9065mfp traditional print
drivers. The information in this STR applies only if the HP Print Kit is installed. The chapter
contains the following major sections:
● HP traditional PCL 6 driver features. This section describes the PCL 6 drivers for
Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0.
● HP traditional PS driver features. This section describes the PS driver for Windows 98,
Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0.
● Driver-feature comparison in Windows and Macintosh operating systems. The tables in
this section provide an overview of print driver features.
You can control print jobs from several places: the MFP control panel, the software program,
and the driver user interface. Generally, for features that are common to two or more of
these places (for instance, you can select the media input tray from any of them), settings
that are established in the software program take precedence over print driver settings. Print
driver settings override MFP control-panel settings.
HP traditional PCL 6 driver features
When you install the print drivers in Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows NT 4.0, the HP
traditional PCL 6 driver is installed.
This section describes the options that are available on each tab of the HP traditional PCL 6
print driver interface.
Access to drivers
To gain access to print driver settings from within most software programs, click File, click
Print, and then click Properties. These driver settings apply only while the software
program is open.
EN Chapter 3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows 73
You can also control the print drivers directly from the Printers folder. In Windows NT 4.0,
click Start, click Settings, click Printers, right-click the MFP name, and then click
Document Defaults to gain access to the same set of driver tabs that the software program
controls. These driver settings change the default settings used across all software programs.
If you click Properties after right-clicking the MFP name, you gain access to a different set of
tabs that control the driver behavior and driver connections.
Access to drivers in Windows 98 and Windows Me
In Windows 98 and Windows Me, click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers. Right-click
the name of the MFP, and then click Properties to gain access to all print driver tabs. The
following print driver tabs are available in Windows 98 and Windows Me:
● General tab
● Details tab
● Sharing tab
● Finishing tab
● Output tab
● Effects tab
● Paper tab
● Job Storage tab
● Basics tab
● Configure tab
HP driver tabs are indicated by the HP logo in the lower left corner of the driver tab. Only HP
tabs are documented in this STR.
Help system
The HP PCL 6 traditional print driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance
with printing and configuration options.
What's this? Help
What's this? Help is supported in Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0. You can gain
access to What's this? Help messages in any of the following ways:
● Right-click a control and click What's this?, and a pop-up Help window appears.
● Click the ? button at the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X, to change the cursor
to an arrow with a question mark. Use this special cursor to select a control, and the popup Help window for that feature appears.
● Press the F1 key, and the Help window for the currently selected control appears.
Context-sensitive Help
Press the Help button on a driver tab or in a dialog box, and a context-sensitive Help message
appears.
74 Help system EN
Constraint messages
Constraint messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response to specific actions you
take. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible given the
capabilities of the MFP or the current settings of other controls. For example, if you click Print
on Both Sides and then change the paper type to Transparency, a message appears asking
you to resolve this conflict.
Figure 3-1. A typical constraint message with an OK button
Whenever a constraint message appears with the OK or Cancel button, the interpretation of
the button is as follows:
● Clicking OK accepts the change that was just made, and the driver then resets the
conflicting control to a setting that is compatible with the new value.
● Clicking Cancel rejects the change that was just made, and the control returns to its
previous value.
EN Chapter 3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows 75
Bubble Help
Bubble Help features a graphical icon that resembles a cartoon speech bubble with a
lowercase "i" in it, representing the international symbol for information. The following
illustration shows a Bubble Help icon on a driver tab.
Figure 3-2. A property page with a Bubble Help icon
The bubble typically appears next to a disabled control, although it can also accompany an
enabled control if there is an important note concerning its use. Moving the pointer over the
bubble changes the arrow to a gloved hand, which indicates that the area underneath the pointer
is selectable. When the bubble is selected by using either the mouse or the keyboard, a
message box appears that contains a brief explanation about why the control is disabled and
what can be done to enable it. If the control is not disabled, the message is a tip or a precaution
you should be aware of when using that particular feature.
76 Help system EN
Finishing tab features
Use the Finishing tab to print booklets and control the media output. The following illustration
shows the Finishing tab.
Figure 3-3. The default appearance of the Finishing tab
The Finishing tab contains the following controls.
● Print Task Quick Sets group box
● Document Options group box
● Document preview image
● Print Quality group box
Print Task Quick Sets
The first group box in the upper portion of the Finishing tab is Print Task Quick Sets. Any
change to the Print Task Quick Sets group box that is made on the Finishing tab affects
the Print Task Quick Sets group boxes on all of the Document Defaults driver tabs (the
Output tab, Effects tab, Paper tab, Job Storage, Basics tab) because they are all the
same control.
EN Chapter 3 HP traditional print drivers for Windows 77
Print Task Quick Sets is a setting that is used to store the current combination of driver
settings that are found on all of the other print driver tabs. Print Task Quick Sets are either
preset by network-administrator settings or user-defined printing specifications (such as
paper size, pages per sheet, and so on). The Print Task Quick Sets control does not
appear on the driver Properties tabs.
Note
Note
Administrators can predefine Print Task Quick Sets for their users. These administrator Print
Task Quick Sets are defined on the server and are available to users, but usually cannot be
modified by users. Users can also define Print Task Quick Sets for their own use. User-defined
Print Task Quick Sets are described later in this section.
The following settings are available in the Print Task Quick Sets drop-down menu:
● Default Print Settings
● Booklet on 11x17
● Booklet on A3
● Booklet on A4
● Booklet on Letter
● User Guide Print Settings
The booklet settings are available only when certain output finishing options are selected on the
Configure tab in the MFP Properties driver tabs.
Default Print Settings
When you select Default Print Settings, nearly all of the settings are restored to the
combination that existed after the driver was installed (the original settings). However, if the
attribute combinations that are associated with watermark definitions, custom paper sizes, or the
User Guide Print Settings quick set have been changed or deleted, the original settings are not
restored.
Type a new Quick Set name here appears in the Print Task Quick Sets menu automatically if
no other driver settings have been changed since the driver was installed, or if all of the driver
settings match the original settings. Otherwise, the setting in the Print Task Quick Sets menu is
the same label that appeared when you last closed the printing Properties dialog box by clicking
OK.
The following table shows the default settings for Print Task Quick Sets. See
