The HP LaserJet P1008 Printer is a Windows-specific application that works on most Windows 32 and 64 bit systems.

The P1008 driver will allow your computer to configure with the P1008 LaserJet printer without the use of a wire or cable.

For those that don't know, a driver is a specific software component that allows your operating system to work with unfamiliar physical devices. Most drivers function by receiving communication requests from the operating system, which offloads work sent directly from the physical device.

For most HP printer drivers, the printer directly communicates with the driver in order to complete all printing requests. The driver allows the user to view printer status, send printing requests, and interact with their P1008 series device.

For instance, users will be able to toggle their printer information in their computer settings. It will be possible to view paper and toner level at any time through the visual interface. Users will also be alerted on their monitor when their toner or printer paper levels are low, allowing them to quickly respond to any situation.

Users will also be able to request prints from the P1008 series device when they attempt to print a document. The installed driver allows the computer to identify the specific printer as available for printing.

Specifically, this printer driver works with the following Windows operating systems: 10 (32 and 64-bit), 8.1 (32 and 64-bit), 8 (32-bit), Vista (32-bit), 7 (32 and 64-bit), XP (32-bit).

Luckily, the HP installer will be able to automatically check your operating system to determine the proper driver to install. If none works, the installation software will immediately cease download. This means that your computer is protected against the threats of incompatible or corrupted file installations.

All in all, the HP LaserJet p1008 Printer driver is easy to install, configure, and get running immediately. Most of the time, the driver installation instructions should be included with the purchased printer. Instructions may also be available on a sticker on the back of the printer itself.

The printer driver is lightweight and intuitive to interact with. No matter the technical experience of the user, it should be simple to use and resolve issues related to the printer. Without the driver installed, it would not be possible for the user to send any printing requests to the P1008 series printer.
