Product: HP ENVY Photo 7855 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Yesterday I uninstalled and reinstalled my printer software for HP Envy Photo 7855.  Afterwards, I went to check if I could find my printer in Control Panel>Devices and Printers and found two HP printers that had been installed.  They are:

1.  HP Envy Photo 7800 series and

2.  HP Envy Photo 7800 series PCL-3 (Network).

 

Will someone please tell me the difference between the two printers and which one I should use as my default printer?

 

Thanks a million.
