Software for Windows
Windows printer drivers
A printer driver is the software that provides access to printer features and provides the means for the
computer to communicate with the device.
Printer preferences (driver)
Printer preferences control the device. You can change the default settings, such as media size and
type, printing multiple pages on a single sheet of media (N-up printing), resolution, and watermarks. You
can access the printer preferences in the following ways:
Through the software application that you are using to print. This only changes the settings for the
●
current software application.
Through the Windows operating system. This changes the default settings for all future print jobs.
●
NOTE: Because many software applications use a different method of accessing the printer
properties, the following section describes the most common methods used in Windows 2000 and
Windows XP.
Printer properties online Help
The printer properties online Help, also called the driver Help, includes specific information about the
functions in the printer properties. This online Help guides you through the process of changing your
printer default settings. For some drivers, online Help provides context-sensitive help that describes the
options for the driver feature you are currently using.
To access the printer properties online Help
1. From the software application, click File, and then click Print.
2. Click Properties, and then click Help.
Print-setting priorities
There are two ways to change print settings for this device: in the software application or in the printer
driver. Changes made in the software application override settings changed in the printer driver. Within
a software application, changes made in the Page Setup dialog box override changes made in the
Print dialog box.
If more than one method is available to change a particular print setting, use the method that has the
highest priority.
Additional Windows driver types (HP LaserJet P1500 network models)
The HP LaserJet P1500 network models also feature an available PCL 5e printer driver. Use the Add
Printer feature to install the driver.

Introduction to host-based printing
The HP LaserJet P1000 and P1500 Series printers are host-based devices. Host-based printing differs
from PCL printing by rendering the print job on the host computer rather than on the device formatter.
As a host-based printing system, the HP LaserJet P1000 and P1500 Series print drivers use the
Windows operating system to convert the graphics device interface (GDI) or device driver interface (DDI)
calls from software programs into JBIG (standard-compression) compressed pages. These pages are
sent in “chunks” through the driver to the device formatter.
The HP LaserJet P1000 and P1500 Series print drivers also receive status messages from the formatter
firmware. These messages are passed to the Status Application, which displays them.
The HP LaserJet P1000 Series formatter has no read-only memory (ROM) and up to 8 MB of random
access memory (RAM). The amount of RAM varies based on the model of printer. Both the firmware
and the compressed page must fit into the amount of RAM installed in the printer.
Depending on the model of printer, the HP LaserJet P1500 Series formatter has up to 2 MB of readonly memory (ROM) and up to 32 MB of RAM. Both the firmware and the compressed page must fit into
the amount of RAM installed in the printer.

Paper/Output
The following settings are in the Paper/Output group box:
●
●
Collate
The Collate option becomes active if the Copy setting is greater than 1. Select Collate to collate multiple
copy print jobs.
Copy
This setting is useful for software programs that do not provide a copy count. If a copy count is available
in the software program, set the copy count in the software program. Copy specifies the number of
copies to print.
The requested number of copies appears in the Copy option. Select the number by typing in the box or
by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. For the HP LaserJet P1000 and P1500
Series printers, valid entries are numbers from 1 to 999. The copies value will not advance from the
maximum number (999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number
(999) when the down arrow is used.
When you click another group box or leave the Advanced tab, invalid entries into the edit box (such as
non-numerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) change to
the last valid value that appeared in the box. The default number of copies is 1.
Collate
Copy
Because the number of copies can be set from some software programs, conflicts can arise between
the software program and the driver. In most cases, the software program and the driver communicate
so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the program) appears in the other (such as
the driver). For some programs, this communication does not happen, and the copies values are treated
independently. For example, setting 10 copies in the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver
will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. Set the number of copies in the program, wherever
possible.
Printer Features
The following settings are in the Printer Features group box:
Print all Text as Black
●
REt
●
Print all Text as Black
Print all Text as Black is off by default. When selected, the driver prints all text as black regardless of
the original document text color. However, white text remains white as a fail-safe method of printing
reverse typeface against a dark background. This setting does not affect graphic images on the page.
Print all Text as Black remains selected only for the current print job.
REt
Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) refines the print quality of characters by smoothing out
jagged edges that can occur on the angles and curves of a printed image. It is On by default. Select
Off if graphics, particularly scanned images, are not printing clearly.

NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different media sizes
within a single document.
For the Covers and Print pages on different paper settings, select a source (tray) and media type
that differ from the settings selected. If a conflict exists among media source, media size, and/or media
type, and you choose to keep the conflicting settings, the settings are processed in the following order:
media size, media type, and then media source.
Because driver settings are overridden by media-size settings in most software programs, use the driver
to set media size only for software programs that don't have a media-size setting, such as NotePad, or
when producing a book or a booklet that does not require different media sizes.

Print Quality
The Print Quality group box contains the Print Quality drop-down box and the EconoMode check
box.
The Print Quality drop-down box controls the resolution, which refers to the number of dots per inch
(dpi) used to print the page. As resolution is increased, the quality (clarity and visual appeal) of print on
the page is improved. However, higher resolution might also result in longer printing times. The following
Print Quality options are available in the drop-down box:
●
●
The default setting for the Print Quality drop-down box is FastRes 600 for the HP LaserJet P1000
Series and 600 dpi for the HP LaserJet P1500 Series.
Select the EconoMode check box in conjunction with any of the print quality settings. When using
EconoMode, the device uses less toner on each page. Using this option might extend the life of the print
cartridge and can lower the cost per page, but also reduces print quality. Using the EconoMode feature
with non-HP print cartridges can result in toner spillage or device damage.
HP LaserJet P1000 Series: FastRes 1200 and FastRes 600
