Jakýpak zvolit ovladač pro HP síťovou tiskárnu? S uvedením zdroje HP LaserJet, Color LaserJet, LaserJet AIO and LaserJet MFP Series Products – How to select the Correct Printer Driver vyjímám pro mne podstatnou část. [more]

This document describes the process for choosing the best printer driver for your LaserJet printer and operating system. More than one driver can be used with a single printer, although most users need to select just one printer driver -- normally the PCL 6 driver for Windows and the Mac PS driver for Macintosh.

HP PCL 6 driver

  • Recommended for most users (if it is available), for printing in all-Windows environments including general office

  • Provides the overall best speed, print quality, and printer feature support for most users

  • May not be fully compatible with 3rd party and custom solutions based on PCL 5

HP PCL 5 driver (or PCL 5c or PCL 5e)

  • Recommended for general office Windows printing

  • Backward compatible with previous PCL versions or older LaserJet printers

  • Is the best choice for:

    • 3rd party or home-grown custom solutions (forms, fonts, SAP programs)

    • Mixed environments (UNIX, Linux, mainframe) which require the printer's page description language be set to PCL 5

HP postscript (PS) emulation driver

  • Recommended for printing with Adobe or other highly graphics-intensive applications

  • Use for PS level 3 needs and PS font support.

  • Slightly faster than PCL 6 when using Adobe applications.

  • Best print compatibility between Apple Macintosh and Windows applications.

NOTE:
The printer must have PS printing capabilities. This can be verified on the printer’s Configuration Page.

HP Universal Print Driver

  • Provide a single PCL 5, PCL 6, or PostScript driver solution for use with multiple printer models

  • Designed for corporate or IT-managed Windows environments

  • Preferred when printing in an enterprise or managed print server environment to multiple printer models in a static or mobile print environment
