INSTALLING A NETWORK PRINTER
Running the Install Network
Printer Wizard ("the installer")
But first, are you installing a wireless print
server?
If you are installing a wireless print server, you will
need to run the HP Jetdirect Wireless Setup Wizard
before running the HP Install Network Printer Wizard.
Running the Wireless Setup Wizard is an option that
appears when you insert the HP Jetdirect CD into your
Windows computer.
The Wireless Setup Wizard guides you through:
setting your computer to connect to the print
server in wireless ad hoc (peer-to-peer) mode
discovering your wireless printer on the
network
setting a few wireless parameters
(communication mode, authentication, and
encryption) on the print server
Then you set your computer back to its normal
connection to your network, and continue with
installing the printer on your computer, using the
Install Network Printer Wizard.
The Install Network Printer Wizard
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
