During the first installation, install files on the shared Windows directory. Once the installation is complete, run the installation software again, and choose Typical or Custom to install the printer software onto the workstation used to install from. 9. Define the printer port to use for this printer. The options available are: • Use an Existing Port - select the port you wish to use. • Add a Port - select the port you wish to use. • Connect to a Shared Network Printer - browse the directory structure to locate the path and name of the shared network printer. 10.

Network administrators must now configure the printer on the network (refer to "Configuring the Printer on the Network"). Configuring the printer on the network Before the printer can be used, configure it on the network. For more information, see the appropriate chapters on Windows 2000 networks in the HP JetDirect Print Server Software Installation Guide. Distributing the installation software to network clients Before a network client can print to the HP Color LaserJet 4550 Printer, the printer software must be installed on the client's workstation. Rather than distributing the CDROM to each client, place disk images of the installation software onto a public directory. The printer software's Customization Utilities option lets you copy disk images for Windows operating systems to a designated directory. To create disk images with the Customization Utility: 1. Insert the CD-ROM for the appropriate language into the CD-ROM drive. 2. Click the Start button, and then select Run. 3. If AutoPlay is bypassed, select Run from the Start menu. 4. Type D:\SETUP.EXE and press ENTER (or click OK). 5. Click Install Printer. HP Color LaserJet 4550 Software Technical Reference 90
