HP LaserJet P2050 Series - Software Technical Reference

Installation overview
The software for the product comes on one CD. The CD includes printer drivers and all of the necessary
software for the product.
The product includes an installer that supports a software-first installation, which is the recommended
installation method. A minimum installation option is available, which consists of only the printer
drivers.
On computers running Windows XP or Windows Vista, the setup program installs the printing-system
software from the CD onto the hard disk and updates Windows files.
The setup program is not supported for Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000. A plug-and-play or
add-printer-wizard installation must be used for this operating system. .
For all of the supported platforms, each installation option presents a series of query dialog boxes that
move through the installation process. Different dialog boxes are presented for a directly-connected or
networked product.
NOTE: The printing-system software uses Microsoft USB printing support (USB00X) rather than DOT4
printing support.
