What is the minimun driver for a HP CM1312NFI MFP printer
(I've seen a Macintosh find and print to a networked HP MFP without asking for added software. Is there any chance that XP/Vista can do what Mac has been doing for some time?) I need to d/l the minimum software for a networked HP CM1312NFI MFP printer. Here is HP's download page: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...5&swEnvOID=228 Which do I choose? All I want right now is the basic print capability, not the entire kit. I want to be able to print over ethernet and print over USB. The terminology in the driver section is ambiguous. To me, "Network Express Install" and "USB Express Install" sound like installation media (or over the net) but maybe they mean what flavor of printer-connectivity the software is specific to. Thanks. -- Al Dykes News is something someone wants to suppress, everything else is advertising. - Lord Northcliffe, publisher of the Daily Mail -- Al Dykes News is something someone wants to suppress, everything else is advertising. - Lord Northcliffe, publisher of the Daily Mail |

What is the minimun driver for a HP CM1312NFI MFP printer
PCL6 drivers should be included in Vista, and probably are included in XP
(sorry, no XP PCs here to check). When adding the printer, choose the Add a Network Printer option, let it find the printer, and if the drivers are already included in the O/S, it will install them automatically. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing/Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "Al Dykes" wrote in message ...

Realize that *if* there is a built-in driver in Win XP, it will provide only basic printing, not whatever "multi-function" capability this device has. The "USB" refers to installing the software when the device is to be connected to the computer with a USB cable. If you click on the "Express Install" links on the page you linked to above, you will see both a description and installation instructions for the different packages. -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm |
