Advantages
Easy-to-use driver
The Phaser 6300 printer’s visual graphics interface is easy to navigate and helps the user
get the print right the first time.
The HP LaserJet 3000 print driver has its most commonly used features on separate screens,
making it is more time-consuming and less intuitive.
