The HP LaserJet 1200 Printer Series Drivers package is full of every driver you need for your LaserJet 1200 machine to function properly. Drivers are common and small programs that ensure all your commands go through properly. If you try printing without the drivers, then you may notice that either the computer won't allow you to or the printer will refuse to listen to your command.
Primary Features
These drivers are a requirement if you want to print from your computer to your HP LaserJet 1200. Drivers are often the smallest programs on your computer as they demand very little hard drive space, but they are necessary whenever you have an external machine like a printer. These programs are tasked with taking your commands and ensuring they are properly carried out on the machine side.
For example, if you click the print button, then you expect the printer to make your document. Without the proper drivers installed, the printer may not understand the command or it may only partially work. Drivers will ensure the printer understands what it should be doing and it ensures all your tasks are carried out correctly.
Easy Installation
Not only are drivers very small, but they are usually easy to install. Many drivers force you to download the specific one for your operation system, but not these drivers. This package is good for almost every Windows users. Whether you are fully upgraded to the latest version of Windows 10 or you have something older like Windows XP or NT, this will scan your computer to see what operating system you have and it will install the proper version.
Another benefit is that it will check to see if you're running a 32-bit or 64-bit OS. This makes a huge difference to programs, so it's good that it will do this. Advanced users know how to find out which installation they have, but less savvy users may struggle to find out if they have a 32-bit or 64-bit system. This program doesn't make you go through the hassle.
One Machine
There is only one small problem with this program, but it's common among all drivers. This will only work with the HP LaserJet 1200 series of printers. It doesn't matter if your printer is similar or has all the same features as a LaserJet 1200. If it's a different model, then it won't work.
You can always check the model number on your printer to ensure it's right. You'll often see the model number emblazoned on the top near the brand logo. Just look on the printer's body and you should see the model number somewhere. This will tell you if you have a LaserJet 1200 or a different printer.
