INSTALLING A NETWORK PRINTER
Running the installer
The next (and last) stage of installing a network printer
is using the network printing software to install the
printer on your computer.
●
If you're setting up
peer-to-peer
printing
, you need to run the software and
install the network printer on each computer
that will print to the target printer.
●
If you're setting up
client/server
printing
, you need to run the software and
install the network printer on the network
server and set it up for printer sharing. Then
each client computer must install the printer
driver and connect to the shared printer on the
network server. An easy way to do this is to use
the Microsoft Windows Point and Print
function. (See your operating system
documentation for details on Point and Print.)
The installer program performs several major
functions:
●
detects available printers on the network
●
helps set up an address for the printer you
choose
●
installs the printer driver
●
optionally sets up printer sharing (only
available if running on a Windows NT/2000
network server)
Operation
Note:
The next few paragraphs describe the operation
of the installer software that resides
on the HP
Jetdirect CD
. If you are using the network printer
installer that resides
on the printer's CD
, the operation
may be slightly different from what we describe here. In
particular, some printer CDs do not offer you the
option of "Autoconfigure network settings for me". In
such a case, the installation will proceed as though you
chose the "Let me configure my own network settings"
option described below. (If you are trying to decide
whether to use the Jetdirect CD or the printer CD, the
discussion of
Which CD do I use?
may be helpful.)
