Easiest basic configuration

Set up each Macintosh running MacOS (8.6 or later). Read the
Jetdirect CD-ROM on a Macintosh system, select the file Network
Printing.htm, and follow the instructions for setting up network
printing.

Set up each Windows computer for printing on the networked
printer by using the HP Install Network Printer Wizard.

This basic procedure involves installing printer drivers and other
software, configuring network parameters, and setting up the print
path. You will use the installation software on either the CD-ROM
supplied with your printer or on the HP Jetdirect CD-ROM supplied
with your print server, depending on your printer model. This is
explained in the software instructions on your Quick Start Guide
poster—supplied with your print server—or see
http://www.hp.com/support/network-printer-CD.

To use the wizard to install the networked printer on this computer,
return to the initial screen for this CD, select the

[Install]

button,

and follow the instructions there. Help is included. When finished
there, this computer is ready to use the printer.

After using the wizard, you can use the additional tools listed below
to make configuration changes and additions and to monitor the
printer.
Note: Making network address changes might break the print path
set up by the wizard.
To move a networked printer configured with an IP address, see
Moving the print server to another IP Network.
