Custom Versus Typical Installation
When installing software for the HP LaserJet 6L Printer and Companion,
you may see a dialog box asking if you prefer a Typical or a Custom
installation. The Typical installation installs all of the HP recommended
software.
If you choose to do a Custom installation, you will be asked whether you
want to install the host-based driver or the PCL driver. If you meet the
system requirements and your printer and Companion are connected
directly to your computer, select the host-based driver. If you meet the
system requirements and you are going to access the printer across a
network, select the PCL driver.
You will also need to decide if you want the HP LaserJet 6L Help files
installed. Select this option if you want to include online help files for
your printing software. Finally, you will be asked if you want TrueType
Fonts installed. Select this option if you want TrueType fonts.
Note
By following the Alternative Installation instructions below, the PCL
driver files and some help files will be installed. This setup will not install
the status window.
Caution
Make sure that you quit all software that is currently running, such as
Microsoft® Office Manager, virus checkers, and fax utilities.
