7.

To keep the driver, check Keep existing driver and click Next to skip
to step 8.

If you choose Replace existing driver, or if you have not previously
installed this driver, you are prompted to insert either the
Windows NT CD-ROM or the manufacturer’s printer diskette. Do
so and click Next.

8.

Select whether you want this printer to be the Windows NT
default printer, and click on the Next button.

9.

Select whether or not you want to share this printer with other
computers on the network. If you select Shared, you are asked to
indicate the operating systems of all the computers that will be
sharing this printer. (You may also be required to insert the
operating system media so that Windows NT can extract the
necessary driver files.)

10. Select whether to print a test page and click on the Finish button.

You are now ready to begin using the printer. No reboot is needed.

Changing Printer Port Configuration

If the printer does not successfully print the test page, it may be
necessary to change the port baud rate, parity, and so on. If the Ports
applet does not configure the port properly, you may have to use the
mode command from a DOS prompt. Also, check the printer for DIP
switches or other hardware configuration options.
