HP LaserJet P3010 Series - Software Technical Reference

Printing print-ready documents
Several methods are available for printing documents independently of the original software program
that was used to create the document. Normally, the document is printed by opening the original
application and printing it to a file, or is printed by means of a distribution method such as internet
downloading. The following print-ready file formats can be sent directly to the HP LaserJet P3010 Series
product without first opening the original software program:
●
HP LaserJet Printer Control Language (.PRN)
●
Portable Document Format (.PDF)
●
Postscript (.PS)
●
Text (.TXT)
Use one of the following methods to send print-ready files to your product.
NOTE: The examples that are used here are for printing .PDF documents. However, any print-ready
file type can be substituted.
