Introduction to host-based printing
The HP LaserJet 2010 Series printer is a host-based device. Host-based printing differs from PCL
printing by computing the print job on the host computer rather than computing it in the device formatter.
The following illustration shows how the HP LaserJet 2010 Series printing-system software works.
Figure 4-1 HP LaserJet 2010 Series host-based driver overview
As a host-based printing system, the HP LaserJet 2010 Series print driver uses MS Windows 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 2010 Series print driver also receives status messages from the formatter firmware.
These messages are passed to the Status Application, which displays them.
The HP LaserJet 2010 Series formatter has 2 MB of read-only memory (ROM) and 32 MB of random
access memory (RAM). Both the firmware and the compressed page must fit into the 32 MB of RAM.

Access to the driver
To gain access to driver settings from within most software programs, click File, click Print, and then
click Properties. The appearance and names of the driver tabs that appear can vary, depending on the
operating system. These settings apply only while the software program is open.
You can also control the driver directly from the Printers folder. These settings change the default
settings for all software programs.
In MS Windows 2000, click Start, select Settings, select Printers, right-click the device name, and
●
then click Printing Preferences to gain access to the same set of driver tabs that the software
program controls.
In MS Windows XP or MS Windows Server 2003, click Start, select Settings, select Printers and
●
Faxes (MS Windows XP Professional) or Printers and Other Hardware Devices (MS Windows
XP Home), right-click the device name, and then click Printing Preferences to gain access to the
same set of driver tabs that the software program controls.
Click Properties after right-clicking the device name to gain access to the Properties tab set, which
controls the driver behavior and driver connections.
Printing Preferences tab set
The HP LaserJet P2010 Series printer host-based Printing Preferences tabs contain options for
formatting documents for the HP LaserJet P2010 Series printer. Gain access to the Printing
Preferences tabs either through the software program or through the MS Windows Printers folder. For

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 P2010 Series printer,
valid entries are numbers from 1 to 9999. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number
(9999) to 1 when the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (9999) 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.
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.

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.

Paper/Quality tab features
Use the Paper/Quality tab to specify the size, type, and source of the media for the HP LaserJet P2010
Series printer. You can also use this tab to indicate different paper-selection choices for the first page,
other pages, and back cover of the document. The following illustration shows the Paper/Quality tab.

Print Task Quick Sets
The first group box in the upper portion of the Paper/Quality tab is Print Tasks Quick Sets. Because
they are all the same control, any change to the Print Task Quick Sets group box that is made on
the Paper/Quality tab affects the Print Task Quick Sets group boxes on the other driver tabs. The
following tabs contain Print Task Quick Sets group boxes:

Use the Print Task Quick Sets setting to store the current combination of driver settings that appears
on all of the other print driver tabs. Print Task Quick Sets are user-defined printing specifications (such
as media size, pages per sheet, and so on). The Print Task Quick Sets control does not appear on the
driver Properties tabs.
The following selections are available in the Print Task Quick Sets drop-down menu:
Default Print Settings

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 or custom paper sizes have been changed or deleted, the
original settings are not restored.
Default Print Settings 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 a user on the computer last closed the printing Properties dialog box by clicking OK.
User's Manual
The User's Manual option provides a Print Task Quick Sets setting for optimal printing of the HP
LaserJet P2010 Series User Guide.
Type new Quick Set name here
By default, the Print Task Quick Sets menu is set to Default Print Settings. When you change any of
the default settings on any of the Printing Preferences driver tabs, Type new Quick Set name here
appears in the Print Task Quick Sets menu and the Save button becomes active. Highlight the
words Type new Quick Set name here, type the name for the new Print Task Quick Set, and then
click Save. Print Task Quick Sets are saved in the system registry. To delete a Print Task Quick Set,
select it from the drop-down menu and then click Delete.
Store a maximum of 25 Print Task Quick Sets on any system. If you attempt to save too many, a
message box appears that states: There are too many Quick Sets defined. Please delete some
before adding new ones.

Paper Options
The settings specified in the Paper Options group box on the Paper/Quality tab apply to all of the
pages of the document. The following illustration shows the Paper Options group box and the selections
available.

The Size is: setting is a drop-down menu that lists all of the supported media sizes.
Specify the size for all the settings in the Paper Options group box. You must use the same size of
media for the entire print job. That is, if the print job uses letter-size media, any option that you select
from the available Use Different Paper/Covers options must also use letter-size media.
NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different media sizes
within a single document.
For the Other Pages and Back Cover settings, select a source (tray) and media type that differ from
the settings selected for First Page. 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.
