Network Basics Tips on Getting Started Background Installing a network printer is quite straightforward: q First, you set up your hardware. This involves setting up your printer, and then setting up a print server to connect the printer to your network. q Then, you run the network printing software to install the printer on your computer. If you have purchased your printer and print server separately, you probably have two sets of documentation and two installation CDs -- which do you use? The section below on Which CD do I use? should help you get started in the right place. In addition, sometimes it's not immediately apparent where to find the printer driver that the installer needs. The section below on Where do I find the printer driver? provides some useful pointers. Finally, the section below on When do I stop? answers questions about when the installation process is complete and whether, if you have two CDs, you need to use both of them.

Tips on Getting Started
Background
Installing a network printer is quite straightforward:
●
First, you set up your hardware. This involves setting up your printer, and
then setting up a print server to connect the printer to your network.
●
Then, you run the network printing software to install the printer on your
computer.
If you have purchased your printer and print server separately, you probably have
two sets of documentation and two installation CDs -- which do you use? The
section below on

should help you get started in the right place.
In addition, sometimes it's not immediately apparent where to find the printer
driver that the installer needs. The section below on
Where do I find the printer
driver?
provides some useful pointers.
Finally, the section below on
When do I stop?
answers questions about when the
installation process is complete and whether, if you have two CDs, you need to use
both of them.
