Product: c4750 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hey guys, I am now working from a new install and insntalled only the "Basic" Driver for my HP Photosmart C4750 All-in-One Printer here:

http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-photosmart-c4700-all-in-one-printer-series/379461...

 

My only problem now is, I cannot adjust the "Ink Volume" to make ink last longer, and, the default settings are really to dark for everyday use.

 

The Question:

 

Do I need to Uninstall the current "Basic" Printer Driver to install the "HP Photosmart C4700 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver" from here:

http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-photosmart-c4700-all-in-one-printer-series/379461...

 

Thanks, pcpunk

Hi,

 

Those names tell you all. You need Full Feature Software and Drivers for your printer otherwise Basic driver only gives you basic function(s).
