Note Configuring the Printer on the Network Before you can use the printer, you must configure it on the network by using a printer management utility such as the HP JetAdmin software. Configuring the printer on the network involves steps such as setting up a port. To configure the printer, see the information for this network contained in the HP JetDirect Print Server Software Installation Guide. Make sure the correct protocol stack has been configured for your network adapter (for example, DLC or TCP/IP). Distributing the Printer Software to Network Clients Before a client can print to the printer, the printer software must be installed on the client's workstation. Rather than distributing the CD-ROM to each client, disk images of the installation software can be placed in a public directory or onto diskettes. Use a file management tool to copy disk images. Use the "Structure of CD-ROM1" section in "Step 10: Understanding the Software" to determine the location of the disk images on the CD-ROM. Installing the Printer Software for Network Clients Use the following information to install the OS/2 PCL driver or OS/2 PostScript driver on OS/2 systems (versions 2.0 with Service Pak or later of the OS/2 operating system). To install a driver if a printer was NOT selected during the OS/2 installation 1 Double-click the Templates Folder in the OS/2 system folder. 2 Using the right mouse button, drag the Printer template to the desktop. The "Create a Printer" window opens. 3 In the Name field, type a name for the printer. 4 Click the port to which the printer is connected. 5 Click Install new printer driver. A window appears with a list of the printer drivers that are shipped with OS/2. 6 Click Other printer driver. 7 Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. 8 In the Directory field, type: D:\OS2\Drivers\English\ 44 Step 12: IBM LAN Network Installation EN
