※ Components may differ among products.
※ The recent CD installer doesn’t include the PS/XPS driver. PS/XPS drivers are only available from the web link.
The three methods of installation in the table are described in detail:
  1. CD Installer: The CD includes all components including drivers and applications.
    Depending on the selected model, the installer communicates with the device and lists only the designated drivers and applications from the CD components.
  2. HP Support site: Manually search and install drivers, applications, and manuals.
  3. Samsung Printer Software Installer: The web installer communicates with Remote Diagnostic Server (RDS) and shows the selected model’s specific drivers and applications (same as the HP Support site).
    note:
    This method requires the network connection to communicate with RDS. You must keep the network connected even with the downloaded Samsung Printer Software Installer.
