Installing the Printer Driver
Before using the printer, you must install the PCL5c, PCL5e, or PCL6 printer drivers
for it. For color printers, install the PCL5c printer driver, and for black-and-white
printers, install either the PCL5e or the PCL6 printer driver. The installation
procedures for all of the printer drivers are the same.
Refer to the figure below in order to decide which procedure is necessary and read
