Printing Software Overview
Introduction
This chapter introduces the software you received with your printer and
briefly describes its features. It also lists additional software you can
obtain for your printer by contacting HP Distribution or your authorized
HP dealer.
Your printer is packaged with the software you need to take full
advantage of your printer’s features in MS Windows, some DOS
environments, and to connect your printer to a wide variety of networks.
The HP LaserJet 5M printer also comes with software you need to use
your printer with the PostScript language for Macintosh and MS
