The driver is part of Windows (sort of), and is associated with the icon you can select under control panel/printers. When problems showed up, I often downloaded a printer driver from HP's web site (for HP printers, of course) and installed it. This often fixed odd problems with the Windows default drivers. So, yes, you still need the RIGHT driver on your machine, and a generic Windows HP driver may not get all possible graphical possibilities to print exactly right. > Actually, the long overbar problem just started.

Yes, that is possible. You may want to add an additional driver from HP and try it.
