4 HP host based print driver for Windows
Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the HP LaserJet Professional M1130/M1210 MFP Series Host
based Print Driver for Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit),
Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows 7 (32-bit and
64-bit),.
You can control print jobs from several places:
●The product control panel
●The software program print dialog box
●The driver user interface
Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, you can select the
paper input tray from any of them), settings that are established in the software program take precedence
over print-driver settings. Print-driver settings, in turn, override product control-panel settings.
When you install the printing-system software in Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft
Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7, the HP Host
based Print Driver is the recommended driver and installs by default from the product firmware or CD
Browser.

Help system
The HP Host based print driver includes a full-featured Help system to provide assistance with printing
and configuration options.
“What's this?” Help
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 support
What's this? Help. You can gain access to What's this? Help messages in any of the following ways:
●Right-click a feature or control. A pop-up Help window appears.
●Click the ? question mark button in the upper-right corner of the frame, next to the X, to change
the cursor to an arrow with a question mark. When you use this special cursor to select a control,
the pop-up Help window for that control appears.
●Click a feature or control, and then press the F1 key. The Help window for the currently selected
control appears.
Incompatible Print Settings messages
Incompatible Print Settings (constraint) messages are unsolicited messages that appear in response
to specific print-driver selections. These messages alert you to selections that are illogical or impossible
given the product capabilities or the current settings of other controls.
NOTE: Constraint messages are limited, and the underlying software architecture might accept some
settings that are illogical or impossible for the product to perform. Sending a job with incompatible
settings can lead to unexpected results. If print jobs do not print as expected, check the product
documentation for the product capabilities.
In supported Windows operating environments, some technically invalid print-driver configurations result
in warning messages. Duplexing, for example, is not possible when the Transparency paper type is
selected. The following figure shows an Incompatible Print Settings message.
Figure 4-1 An Incompatible Print Settings message
To resolve the conflicting settings, click Restore my previous settings. and then click OK. The driver
resets the conflicting control back to its previous state.
If you want to keep the conflicting setting, click Keep this setting, and I will change it later. and then
click OK.
NOTE: In this example, the conflict can be resolved manually. If the conflict is not resolved when the
driver is closed, then the same message appears again when a print job is sent to the product.
120 Chapter 4 HP host based print driver for Windows ENWW
Advanced tab features
NOTE: The Advanced tab is in the Printing Preferences tab set. For information about how to gain
access to these tabs, see Printing Preferences driver tabs on page 118.
Use the Advanced tab to change the layout of printed pages. Use this tab to configure special controls
that are not commonly used, as well as to control features such as paper size and copies in the driver
(although most current software programs support these features in the Print dialog box or through the
page settings in the software program). The following figure shows the Advanced tab.
Figure 4-2 The default appearance of the Advanced tab
The Advanced tab contains the following controls:
●Print Tasks Quick Sets
●Copies
●Printer Features
●Document preview image
Print Tasks Quick Sets
The Print Tasks Quick Sets drop-down list appears on all tabs except the Services tab.
Print Tasks Quick Sets allow separate groups of print settings to be saved under specified names for
reuse.
ENWW Advanced tab features 121
Follow these steps to create a Print Task Quick Set.
●Open the printer driver, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.
●Select the print options for the new quick set.
●Type a name for the quick set, and then click Save.
Follow these steps to use a Print Tasks Quick Set.
●Open the printer driver, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.
●In the Print Tasks Quick Sets drop-down list , select one of the quick sets, and then click OK to
print the job with the predefined settings.
Copies
The Copies control contains the Copies setting.
Copies
Copies: Specifies the number of copies to print. This driver setting is useful for software programs that
do not provide a copy count. If a copies setting is available in the software program, set the copy count
in the software program.
The number of copies that you request appears in the Copies option. You can select the number by
typing in the text box or by using the up and down arrows to the right of the text box. Valid entries are
numbers from 1 to 999. The copies value will not advance from the maximum number (999) to 1 when
the up arrow is used, or change from 1 to the maximum number (999) when the down arrow is used.
When you click another group box or leave the Advanced tab, invalid entries into the text box (such as
non-numerical input, numbers less than 1, or numbers greater than the maximum allowed) are changed
to the last valid value that appeared in the text box. The default number of copies is 1.
Because you can set the number of copies that you want from some software programs, conflicts
between the software program you are using and the driver can arise. In most cases, the software
program and the driver communicate, so that the number of copies set in one location (such as the
program) will appear in the other (such as the driver). For some programs, this communication does not
take place, and the copies values are treated independently. For these programs, setting 10 copies in
the program and then setting 10 copies in the driver will result in 100 copies (10 x 10) being printed. It
is recommended that you set the number of copies in the program, whenever possible.
Printer Features
The Printer Features control contains a checkbox for activating the Print All Text as Black feature.
Document preview image
The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The
document preview image is always oriented so that the contents of the page are right-side-up. The
document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of the following Printing Preferences driver
tabs:
●Advanced
●Paper/Quality
122 Chapter 4 HP host based print driver for Windows ENWW

Paper/Quality tab features
NOTE: The Paper/Quality tab is in the Printing Preferences tab set. For information about how to
gain access to these tabs, see Printing Preferences driver tabs on page 118.
Use the Paper/Quality tab to specify paper size, type, and source. You can also use this tab to specify
different paper selections for the front cover, first page, other pages, last page, and back cover of the
document. The following figure shows the Paper/Quality tab.

●Size is
●Custom Paper Size
●Use Different Paper/Covers
●Source is
●Type Is
Size is
The Size is: drop-down menu lists all of the supported paper sizes.
Because paper-size settings in most software programs override driver settings, it is generally best to
use the driver to set the paper size only when you are printing from software programs that do not include
a paper-size setting, such as NotePad, or when you are producing a book or a booklet that does not
require different paper sizes.
ENWW Paper/Quality tab features 125
NOTE: Certain software programs can override the size command and specify different paper sizes
within a single document.
When you change the print-driver setting to a paper size that is not currently loaded in the product, a
control-panel message appears that prompts you to load the paper size.
For information about paper sizes, see Engineering Details on page 167.
NOTE: Several aper sizes are listed in the paper size drop-down menu that are physically too large
for the printer, such as 16k. These sizes are included for scaling purposes– the printer scales down the
printed output from a larger original size used by a software program.
Custom Paper Size
The Custom Paper Size dialog box appears when you click Custom… on the Paper/Quality tab. The
following figure shows the initial appearance of the Custom Paper Size dialog box.
Figure 4-5 Custom Paper Size dialog box
Name
Use the Name text box to type a name for a new custom paper size or to rename an existing paper size.
The text that appears in the Name text box is one of the following::
●The name of the any custom paper size that is selected on the Paper/Quality tab.
●"Custom" if a standard paper size has been selected on the Paper/Quality tab.
●Any text that has been typed into the Name text box. This text remains in the text box until the new
size is saved or the dialog box is closed.
If you type a new name into the Name text box but then do not click Save, you can change the
Width: and Length: values without losing the name. However, if you close the dialog box without clicking
Save, any unsaved name or size values are lost without warning.
126 Chapter 4 HP host based print driver for Windows ENWW
Size
The Width: and Length: values can be changed by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes.
Any entry that is too large is rounded down to the maximum valid entry, while any entry that is too small
is rounded up to the minimum valid entry.
If units are in millimeters, the custom paper-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the nearest
whole millimeter. The custom paper-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the nearest whole
millimeter. Any non-numerical entry reverts to the last valid entry. Width and length entries are validated
when the focus changes.
The resolution of each control is 1/100 of a millimeter or 1/100 of an inch, depending on the current
measurement units.
Units
To change measurement units, click the button which displays either Use Inches or Use Millimeters.

EconoMode check box
Click the EconoMode check box to allow the printer to use less toner/ink on each page. This extends
the life of your print cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it reduces print quality. This option
may work only if a genuine HP print cartridge is installed. HP print cartridges are able to measure the
life of the mechanical parts as well as the toner/ink. When Economode is used frequently, the mechanical
parts may wear out before the toner/ink does. This may result in toner/ink spillage, which could damage
your printer. Using genuine HP print cartridges avoids this problem.

Resizing Options
The Resizing Options group box consists of the following controls:
●Actual size (default)
●Print document on:
●Scale to fit
●% of actual size:
Actual size
Actual Size is the default setting. It prints the document without changing the document size.
Print document on
Click the Print Document On: option to format the document for one paper size and then print the
document on a different paper size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new paper size.
Print Document On: control is disabled by either of the following conditions:
●The % of actual size: value is selected.
●The Pages per sheet: value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.
When Print Document On: is selected, the drop-down menu shows the paper sizes on which you can
print. The list contains all of the standard paper sizes that the selected paper source supports and any
custom sizes that you have created. When Print document on: is selected, Scale to fit is automatically
selected. Clear this check box if you do not want your document reduced or enlarged to fit on the selected
paper.
Scale to fit
The Scale To Fit option box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the
target paper size. By default, Scale To Fit is selected when Print document on: is selected. If the
setting is turned off, then the document page images will not be scaled and are instead centered at full
size on the target paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, then the document
132 Chapter 4 HP host based print driver for Windows ENWW
image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper. The following figure shows
the effect that Scale To Fit has on a document formatted for Legal-size paper but printed on Letter.
Figure 4-7 Preview images – Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right)
When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size,
the preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to the
target paper size.
% of normal size
The % of Normal Size: option provides a slider bar for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting
is 100%. Actual size is defined as the paper size that is selected within the driver or the size that the
driver receives from the software program (if the software program does not negotiate the paper size
with the driver). The driver scales the page by the appropriate factor and sends it to the product.
The limits of the range are from 25% to 400%, and any values outside the range are adjusted to those
limits as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the Tab key is pressed or another
control is selected).
Any change to the scale also changes the page preview, which increases or decreases from the upper-
left corner of the preview.
The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the slider bar is dragged,
and the document preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the arrows increases
or decreases the scale by 1%. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10%.
To achieve an exact scaling value, either use the slider bar to approximate the value that you want and
then use the arrows to refine the value, or type the value into the edit box.
The following settings disable % of Normal Size:
●Print document on: (on the Effects tab) is selected
●Pages per sheet: (on the Finishing tab) is not 1
Document preview image
The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The

Watermarks
Use the Watermarks feature to select a watermark, create a new watermark (text only), or edit an
existing watermark. The following watermarks are preset in the driver:
●(none)
●Confidential
●Copy
●Draft
●SAMPLE
The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the system,
plus (none) which indicates that no watermark is selected. This is the default setting. Any watermark
that is selected from this list appears in the preview image.
When the First page only check box is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of the
document. The First page only check box is disabled when the current watermark selection is
(none).
Watermarks are applied to logical pages. For example, when Pages per sheet: is set to 4 and First
page only is turned off, four watermarks appear on the physical page (one on each logical page).

To edit an existing watermark, select the watermark in the Current Watermarks list. If you change the
Watermark Message for that watermark, you are, in effect, creating a new watermark.
ENWW Effects tab features 135
Watermark Message
The Watermark Message is also the name that identifies the watermark in the Current Watermarks
list, except when more than one watermark has the same message. For example, you can have several
different watermarks with the message DRAFT, each with a different typeface or font size. When this
occurs, the string is appended with a space, a pound sign, and a number (for example, Draft #2). When
a number is added, the number 2 is used first, but if the resulting name is also in the list, then the number
increases until the name is unique (Draft #3, Draft #4, and so on).
Message Angle
Use the controls in the Message Angle group box to print the watermark in different orientations on the
page. All settings center the watermark string within the page; the selection of a particular setting affects
only the angle of the string placement. The following settings are available:
●Diagonal. This is the default setting. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans the
lower-left to upper-right corners of the page.
●Horizontal. Select this setting to place the text along a line that spans the mid-left and mid-right
edges of the page.
●Angle. Select this setting to place the text at the specified angle across the page. Use the numeric
spin box to select the angle.
Font Attributes
Use the controls in the Font Attributes group box to change the font and the shading, size, and style
of the font.
The Font Attributes group box contains the following controls:
●Name
The Name: drop-down menu lists fonts that are currently installed on the system. The default is
language dependent.
●Color

gray watermark, Lightest produces the lightest shade of watermark, and Darkest produces a black
watermark.
●Size
Font sizes from 1 to 999 points are available from the Size menu. The default point size is language
dependent.
●Style
The following settings are available:
◦Regular

Macintosh printing-system software
The printing-system software for Macintosh is composed of an HP-created postscript (PS) printer
definition file (PPD) and a Printer Dialog Extension (PDE) file that work together with the Macintosh OS
printing system. These files are used by the Macintosh OS printing system to determine default printer-
driver settings and to allow the user to select between the various print options and settings. An HP-
supplied Macintosh printer configuration utility is provided, which allows the user to access the
HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS) for additional configuration and product status monitoring. The
following are provided on the printing-system CD:
●The HP LaserJet Installer for Macintosh
The following components are installed by the HP LaserJet Installer for Macintosh:
●HP LaserJet Professional M1130/M1210 MFP Series PPD
●HP LaserJet Professional M1130/M1210 MFP Series PDE
●HP USB EWS Gateway
●HP LaserJet Utility
HP LaserJet Professional M1130/M1210 MFP Series PPD
A postscript printer description (PPD) file is a text file that contains keywords and other information to
specify printer features, options, and settings. PPD files are created by printer vendors for a specific
postscript printer or printer family. PPD files are created by printer vendors to describe the set of printer
features available for their postscript printers. On the Macintosh, PPD files provide all the information
necessary to describe a postscript printer’s features, including options and default settings. They also
contain the postscript code used to invoke those features.
150 Chapter 5 Macintosh software and utilities ENWW
HP LaserJet Professional M1130/M1210 MFP Series PDE
A Print Dialog extension file can specify one or more PDEs to load in the Print dialog box to provide
HP printer specific features. A printing dialog extension (PDE) is a way to extend the Print dialog box in
Mac OS X with custom printer features.
A PPD file and printing dialog extension (PDE) for a printer are bound to a printer queue when the queue
is created.
HP USB EWS Gateway
For network connected printers, the EWS can be accessed directly by typing the network IP address or
DNS name of the product into the Web browser. HP USB EWS Gateway software, which is automatically
installed, allows a Web browser to access the product’s EWS if the product is connected using a USB
cable. Click the Utility button when using a USB connection to access the EWS though the Web
browser.
HP LaserJet Utility
Use the HP LaserJet Utility to configure, administer, and set up product features that are not available
from the printer driver. You can use the HP LaserJet Utility with HP printers connected via USB, and
ethernet.
Supported printer drivers for Macintosh
The HP installer provides Postscript Printer Description (PPD) files, Printer Dialog Extensions (PDEs),
and the HP Printer Utility for use with Macintosh computers.
The PPDs, in combination with the Apple postscript printer drivers, provide access to device features.
Use the Apple postscript printer driver that comes with the computer.
Priority for print settings for Macintosh

you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed in the Print dialog box have a lower
priority and do not override changes made in the Page Setup dialog box.
●Default printer driver settings: The default printer driver settings determine the settings used in
all print jobs, unless settings are changed in the Page Setup, Print, or Printer Properties dialog
boxes.
●Printer control-panel settings: Settings changed at the printer control panel have a lower priority
than changes made anywhere else.
