Network Basics
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.)
To run the installer program, insert the CD into your
computer's CD-ROM drive. On most systems the CD
browser application will start automatically. If it
doesn't start automatically on your system, double-
click on SETUP.EXE in the root directory of the CD to
start it. Once the browser has initialized, it will give
you a choice of actions -- choose Install by clicking on
the top button.
When the installer starts, it lets you choose how it
operates:
●
Auto-configure network settings for me.
This is the easy option -- the installer
automatically assigns network settings, such as
IP addresses. This is probably the right option
to choose, unless you are a network
administrator and need to assign specific
network settings.
●
Let me configure my own network
settings.
This is the option for advanced
users. It gives you control over the IP or
NetWare parameters and other network
settings that are assigned to the network
printer. If you are a network administrator,
this may be the right choice for you.
