If you don't have a front panel, then the only setting options are in
the driver.  HP's latest driver is a unified "works well for none,
ignores capabilities for all" type of driver.

I have a laser printer, HP 2100, which has a useful driver that works
on XP (and is old, and does 1200 DPI and has contrast control).  The
windows 7 or 8 driver limits me to 600 DPI and has no contrast control
IIRC.
